Second Quartermania a success!

The second in our series of Quartermania’s came to a successful conclusion last night at InSights. By all accounts it was a success, we had several new volunteers, new vendors, new patrons and even some Quartermania “pros” who were there to check out and compare our show.
All in all though the numbers were about the same but the word is getting out on this event, which is encouraging. The next few days will be spent accumulating the data we received and trying to build with what we’ve got. And “building” does need to be done—this is too good a concept to remain static.
Our charity for the night was Autism. Marcy Hornsby and Lisa Frober were auctioning off a “drunk bucket” filled with various quality beverages and we thank them for their time and efforts (they are also loyal patrons of Quartermania). Their wonderful cause will be running a Euchere tournament soon and when we get more information we certainly will share that with you our readers.
Sandi Maki from InSights took lots of pictures/videos and hopefully we will be posting and sharing those with you soon. Kudos to Betsy Rackliffe, the tireless worker who was able to do her usual fantastic job of hosting even though she had ran an art gallery showing the night before.
Remember, it will always be (barring holiday interruption) the first Friday of every month from here on…spread the word. Those that have done Quartermania, stay with Quartermania!
Look for updates at this locale, our next Quartermania will be November 6th, 2009

Exceptional Open Mic!

Well for the first official Open Mic with our sponsor Buffalo Wild Wings, it was a tremendous success! Anyone remember the album Twin Sons of Different Mothers by Tim Weisberg and Dan Folgeberg? Well that is what it was like when I met Guy Robertson and Al Smith! Met lots of new friends and look forward to working with these two artists again.

Meetings today for the Gallery opening at InSights and the next Quartermania.

Pictures from Saturday will be coming later. Our next Open Mic at InSights is for comedy and will be Sept. 26...and IF we EVER get a promo photo of "Whatever You Call It", you will see these talented people here. lol

Football season started yesterday...the Lions lost...the more things change, the more they stay the same. Until later, thanks for reading along and stay tuned.
