Mirror 778 Sandy River Gorge

The Mirror Project was originally installed in the public spaces of the Comfort Inn Columbia Gorge Gateway in October, 2012.   It’s been a great year (how many artists get the opportunity to glance up at the video array while at the day job and see someone standing engrossed in a hall in front of one of their pieces?), and response to the Project has been overwhelmingly on the continuum between positive and delighted.

Halloween evening will be celebrating the renewal of the Installation, and everyone is (yes you are) invited. There will be new Mirrors on the walls, a Treasure Hunt through the halls in search of the critters in the middles, plus Mindy’s great hot cider, the popcorn machine, caramel for the apples, nuts & bolts, and a general atmosphere of good cheer.  No schmoozing required – if you want to just grab your Treasure Hunt cards and wander off in search of, with a cup of mulled cider in your hand, that’s the sort of gathering it is.

Everyone attending will be entered in the drawings for hotel stays, Mirror Project edition prints, and artist-designed Mirror Project earrings.  The drawings are at 8:00p and you don’t need to be present to win, just to have appeared at some point in the evening.

If you’re taking the kids out trick-or-treating, stop by before or after – we’ll help fill their bags and have a Treasure Hunt game for them, too!

Chestnuts roasting on an…

… no no no, you’re right.  Not just time yet.  But and still…

ummm... fire?

I know.  No chestnuts, the fire is behind glass, but and still.

The weather has (finally) officially changed to rain and cool enough to justify flames.  The pups and I got soaked to the bone on the trail to the river tonight, and fire is a nice thing to come home to.  There is a rumor of sunshine tomorrow, however, and I hope to complete my Duties in time to get out in it with the camera and snag another bit or two of Fall.

Lots going on at the hotel – Rian got to the Chamber meeting today to introduce himself in his official capacity as Lead Schmoozer [uhhh… Community Liason…], and is going to be out in the local businesses this next week to invite all to the Halloween Hanging next week.  Leamy Printing did a great job on the invites, and it’s going to be fun to have everyone in the house for the celebration.

Steph is doing her Steph-thing and getting all the goodies for the kids and refreshments dialed in [popcorn machine… hot beverage dispenser for the cider… if I could make her a job description comprised entirely of party planning, she’d be the happiest woman on the planet].

Yesterday I picked up the last batch of prints (selection and formatting was – as everything seems to be – a much larger job than I anticipated), and Bob is coming by tomorrow to pick them up for framing and drop off last week’s batch framed.  Finishing up the treasure hunt cards and will have them in production by Friday.  I’ll post a preview this weekend so you can get a head start :).

Speaking of which… I’d best go get those Mirrors signed and labeled.  See you next week!
