I was not at Zap but sure wish I had been. All of the blog postings have me very inspired to do something here on the West coast – within the areas I am working in. It is great to know that you are also thinking about something. I love your stained glass and art….just wonderful.

Two people in long coats holding hands while standing in a lake of fire, no less. That struck me as soon as I finished the colour sketch, and I sort of like the abstract surreality it brings :)

Harold: that's the interesting thing about Zap — it's not an annual thing. This was the second Zap — the first was 5 years ago, and they will do the next one when the mood strikes.

One thing the Silverorange guys made clear at the end is that it's really not that difficult to arrange a “conference” for 50 invitees. The implication was, of course, that more people should do these sorts of things. I'm going to let the pixie dust wear off for a few months before making any promises, but we've already been throwing around the idea of doing one somewhere around Moncton in a year or two maybe. We'll see.

Anyone else see two people in long coats holding hands in Deb's color sketch?
I'm all too familiar with albuterol. I should have your sketch tattooed on my chest. Good luck with this project.

I will probably sell the pieces when they're done if I'm not horrified by them — stained glass needs natural light, and we just don't have enough windows :)

I hope that I get a chance to see the real thing some day. It's a very interesting concept and look forward to partaking in your learning journey. Sounds like I have to try and get on next year's list for Zap.
