Surge: Act 1 (Pre-Surge)

It was early evening before Surge and all through Ingrid’s gallery, all the creatures were stirring and revving their pre-Surge engines with a special reading by several shady characters from the BlackTop MotorCycle Gang.

There was much bantering …

… and drinking of wine …

… and more wine …

… and more wine …

… until things started to look strange …

Outside, Matte and Andrew added nutrients to the air ...

… while bantering continued inside …

Three kids were naughty from too much wine and had to timeout in a corner, on the floor …

Eric Hill read several spectacular poems, all of which escape me at the moment, probably as a result of the amount of wine that somehow found its way into my bloodstream.

Andrew Titus was up next reading … um … something about wine. Yeah, that was it … about wine.

And then came Katy Brown, the Lady from Querty, with much to read about … wine … and strange cats.

Matte Robinson read to a bowl …

… even though he promised to read something dirty to the rest of us. But, as it turned out, the dirty part was about a penis, and somehow, he lost his penis …

Whitefeather (also a member of the BTMG) and Chris were outraged. “Your penis? You lost your penis, you say?” said Chris. “I think I found it,” said Katy.

And through all the wine and bantering and loss, I managed to get a really good picture of two amazing women ...

... Deanna Musgrave (who later did a very good likeness of me in ink) and Ingrid Mueller, Art+ Concepts (and I'll be doing a blog on her and the gallery in the near future).
