The Soupers volunteered their services at The Overbrook Arts Center (or the ‘O’) for a Day of Learning and of Service…
We were asked to pinpoint a few interior projects that volunteers could help complete in order to continue the branding scheme within the space.
The first order of business is to create a gallery wall on the main side wall within the center… This wall is currently covered with clouds – hand painted by a volunteer artists….
SO SAD – but the majority of those clouds needed to go. Our proposal was to paint the wall white and install sheets of painted homosote to act as a self healing (forgiving) surface for pin-ups, bulletin boards, and art installations in general.
(Yes – I am going to keep a small area of the clouds – to pay homage to the artist :)
Gina thinks that I like them because they are purple…
I don’t know – Maybe?
Guys – it was the weirdest thing.
On a Sunday, we were just sitting on the couch – flipping through the stations and we came upon the Newlywed Game.
It was corny. But cute and quirky – So we said to ourselves…. Hum – we can do that.
So the next day (at lunch) I filled out an on-line application on the production company’s web-site and sent it on…. That was THE LONGEST APPLICATION EVER.
But – the application also said to send along a DVD of us…
So I searched on-line and found a g-mail address that appeared to be associated with the game show.. I sent an e-mail inquiring about the process of submitting a DVD and not and hour or so later I got an e-mail back saying – Can you come up to NYC for an on camera interview – to day or tomorrow?
Um – what?
I thought that it was fake.
So I asked Deme about it and he said that we should go for it.
So we did – we drove up there that next night and did an on camera interview. (Ask me about the Bunny Rabbit and the Tiger)
We didn’t get to exit 8 on the turnpike before we got a call back saying that we needed to be up there that Thursday for an all day taping.
So we did.
The whole thing happened so fast – It was such a rush…… Now on to St. Croix! :)
