Exhausted but not Finished yet!

Today I tried to finish the first sequence and just managed to although I had more time to improve it! Just when I'm starting to get the point and enjoy it. It's being projected tomorrow night in an open air event onto the castle walls - mine is first! Probably because its colourful and it gets it out the way - everyone's is miles better - these guys really know their stuff when it comes to software. And they work bloody hard - staying up late.

I still have a 'motion poster' project to finish tonight and I've been over ambitious about this - I'll just need to stay up and get it done.

We had a barbeque outside in 'The Orangery' area at the back of the hotel tonight. Dan Buyarski has arrived from Carnegie Mellon and Jan Kubasiewicz (Mass Art) is leaving this weekend. The rain was chucking it down - the gazebos they'd put up were full of water quickly and the blokes had fun emptying the puddles in the roof. The Polish sausage managed to get cooked although it kind of looks like it doesn't need cooked!

Dan Buyarski arrived from Pittsburgh today. He appears to be a sweet older man and at least he, like me, can't speak Polish. This might make the workshops even better next week as Jan spoke Polish and some of the workshops lapsed into Polish.

Spoke for a while to Ewa Golebiowska who runs this Design centre here - for a small border town it's quite an organisation and she really tries to promote design. So why was Glasgow's Lighthouse such a failure? The previous Director of the Lighthouse even came here and saw what they were managing to do. She's lovely - when I asked her how she came to manage the 'Castle' she told me about being a teacher and firstly that "I like people".

Anyway - now to finish the animation for the morning and then I can have some time off - till the lectures at 4 and the projection later.

Jan introduced a 4th project - optional but could be continued on the Wiki - based on a conversation we had on the way back from lunch the other day. May start that on Sunday. All about 'Found Typography' - matches my photos from Glasgow that I already have.
