Welcome to... The Saloon

[Canadian_watcher]

The end of the world is near, something has gone wrong with the universe. I just got into a juried group show. That NEVER happens, EVER. Seriously, it has not happened in 20 years. Juries never pick me, I get all of my shows through networking or independent curators.

Brace yourselves.....

Woohoo!

WOO-HOO!

Nice work, PW. You deserve it!

[Perelandra]

Congratulations, Willow.

Is it happy hour yet? I'll have a Caesar (drink, not salad), please.

[Project Willow]

Thanks you two.

That's funny Pere, I was going to have Caesar salad for din.

Cheers!

The Caesar was invented in 1969 by restaurant manager Walter Chell of the Calgary Inn (today the Westin Hotel) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He devised the cocktail after being tasked to create a signature drink for the Calgary Inn's new Italian restaurant. He mixed vodka with clam and tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce and other spices, creating a drink similar to a Bloody Mary but with a uniquely spicy flavour.

A round for Betty Ford. RIP, darlin.

If the world were trying to kill me it could not do a better job.

WHY, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW?

You are a fabulous, resilient, strong, intelligent, empathetic, intuitive, creative, assertive, beautiful, funny person and the world should be deeply, deeply ashamed of itself if it is causing you pain.

On the flip side, perhaps you should feel honoured, because clearly 'the aliens' know that you can handle it.

But that being said... exactly when do the tests end and the graduation ceremony begin? huh?

My good vibes are being sent westward to you, PW.

seconded. what's up?

[Project Willow]

beautiful, funny person

No, I'm not. I might have had potential at one point but there's been too much damage. I am intensely fearful and angry.

I made myself a little fantasy I could have some happiness, but of course it was impossible. The route to that for me remains through the inside, and I'm not young anymore and I'm tired.

Thank you for your words and vibes. You too justdrew.

Willow, could I just offer some drink? In times like these, sometimes they help...

*says a right newcomer to the bar, & the forums, after lurking for a while and checking the place in*

[justdrew]

yeah, I know the feeling, but things go on and good surprises happen too

Welcome!

Hey, but you know what, sometimes fear is justified. I feel better today, like I can accept those kind words now C_W.

Here's to supportive, kind, and caring friends IRL and online!

PW, we don't even really know each other much here, and a couple of our interactions haven't been the nicest thangs, but if it wasn't for you I don't think I'd have discovered several important sources of info I am very grateful for finding.

When I am feeling like crap, it sometimes helps me feel better to remember that I have had a positive influence on lots of people [as a college instructor, I'm lucky enough to be provided with believable evidence of this from time to time]. I'm someone on whom you've had that influence.

Best of luck in your juried group show!
