my dreams

Last Tuesday, my friend Katie and I went to an exhibit up in Salt Lake called The Dreamathon. It was put on by a few of my friends and a company that they started called The Dream Press, and I have been real excited to see it ever since hearing about it from them. They brought local artists into an abandoned high school and transformed an empty building into a work of art.

Katie and I may or may not have intentionally worn matching outfits for the occasion, but that's not the only reason we had a blast. I loved seeing all of the funky, cool, and interesting creations that they made in this school. A tribute to dreaming and following your dreams is exactly what this pool bum who is trying to figure out what she is going to be doing with her life needed. 

Ok, I guess I should go figure out what my dreams are so I can chase them.

peace. love. and dreams.

p.s. If you are in Utah they will be reopening the exhibit at Granite High School in Salt Lake City on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.

my Provo printing

This weeks adventure kept me right here in Provo at the Crandall Historical Printing Museum. I actually went with my editing class this Saturday for some extra credit, and who knew I had been driving past this little gem on center street and have never known about it?! So, yeah I am going to own up to some of my nerdiness here a little bit. They have a bunch of old working printing presses including a model of a Gutenberg printing press. Obviously when they asked for someone to volunteer I was all about it.

I don't just say this because I am an English major and I am obsessed with books (really though I would live inside of Barnes and Nobel if they would let me), but printing is the greatest invention ever. Without our civilization and societies would never have been able to explode the way they did, so I was glad to enjoy a little piece of this history last weekend. So, if you are looking for a fun and educational Provo activity, I would highly recommend taking a tour at the Crandall museum.
Let me know if you have heard of or experienced any other little Provo gems!

peace. love. and printing presses
