At Least We Still Have Jell-O

Yup, that's our theme this year: At Least We Still Have Jell-O. Although the group has some enthusiasm, we are still in Covid-mode and will not write and perform a show as usually done. That's just the way it is.

Our current plan is to record a zoom where we all dress up and dance around...to be shown on social media and maybe projected at the gallery during the assigned time, Saturday April 3rd, 5-8 pm.

Plus some kind of compilation film I guess. I'm not in charge of that though it is in capable hands.

I'm in charge of doing a piece (though I'm uninspired) and figuring out a costume. And I will go to the gallery after I finish up my Market day as that is Opening Day of Saturday Market as well. My loyalties go to the Market for income purposes mostly, and for the survival of the Market. 

The gallery is still going to have a physical show of Jell-O Art. They will photograph and show it online and you can also go to the gallery though there will still be some restriction on attendance. Right now they are operating at the current limits for extreme risk but the County is down to High Risk so maybe a few more people can be in the room.

We've been meeting and are getting a little of the regular energy of irreverent cacaphony. Zoom meetings lend themselves well to everyone talking at once and no one being able to hear much or do much organization. I'm still stuck in the ennui of having a year to myself reflected back in my laptop screen. At least we have video filters!

So keep working on your pieces or your thoughts about them, and if you don't want to actually go to the gallery keep an eye on social media for videos or whatever shows up. 

We'll get it all back someday, we hope. For now, we do have Jell-O. At least.
