We’ve had quite the weekend so far – it’s not over for us today since it’s Nick’s Monday off week. Yay!
Friday Nick made me some yummy pork loin for dinner and we mostly just chilled out. Yesterday we braved the Farmer’s Market (and made it out unscathed!!) then went out to an art opening at Youngblood and the sKill Jill benefit at Lenny’s. The opening was OK – the artist is a tattoo artist and that’s what the art looked like: flash art. Lenny’s was fun, but not very many made it out to the benefit, sadly. Kate met us there and we hung out and drank beer/shots until after midnight. How our tab was $15, I’ll never know, but I’ll take it! LOL Kate came back here with us and we stayed up until about 3am talking.
We slept in a bit today, of course, then Nick fixed the leaky bathroom drain (which naturally required a trip to Home Despot) and I started working on Ted’s site. OMG. What a clusterfuck. We have reinstalled Gallery and I *think* it’s running OK, but the WordPress template he is using sucks out loud. He’s trying to use graphics with the sidebar, which means we can’t use widgets (afaik, widgets can’t have header graphics) and the Gallery plugin is blowing up spectacularly. Without widgets, what’s the point of a WP template? We’re still picking at the php, trying to hack it, but we are NOT programmers and frankly, I’ve got other things to do besides sit and try to reprogram a WP template. Hopefully Ted will give up his header graphics without much fuss – hell, this gig looks like it’s gonna be a bitch anyway with Gallery simply REFUSING to cooperate. ::sigh::
We’ll be at the Decatur Drink and Draw at Mellow Mushroom tomorrow – hope to see you there! Don’t forget Atlanta Cartoonists is next Monday (Aug 10) at Manuel’s Tavern, 7pm.
