The Day of the ART PARADE 2007

Excuse me, this blog may take a while to load because there are a ton of jpegs. I hope you have fast internet. Thanks, love, Thu.

The Deitch Art Parade was so much fun and so SWEATY! Thank you so much to everyone involved, we had such a fun and attractive group of people to work with! Special THANKS to friends coming from far away places such as PITTSBURGH PA (Ben Kinsley), RICHMOND VA (Jess Langley, Kate Kisicki), and CLEVELAND OH (Steve Probert). Also, thank you to Jess Laskosky for taking 800 photos of this event. It has seriously taken me forever to edit these down, you are the best.
