Update: I need to be a bit more disciplined about posting

I can't believe I have already been in New Orleans for two and a half weeks already, and I haven't posted anything on my internship blog...

My computer has decided never to connect to wireless internet again, and I am seriously thinking its time for me to trade in my UNC issued clunker for a Mac. But enough with the excuses, I will be better about posting.

My first day at work was an open studio night, which happens at the printshop every Tuesday from 6 to 10pm. After a week of traveling and trying to get oriented in a new city, it felt really good to be back in a studio. The smell of emulsion and the sound of squeegees gliding over silkscreen frames just make me feel at home somehow. Open studio nights generate most of the shop's revenue and draws a big crowd of new folks every week. People come in with designs ready to print and the shop monitors on duty coach them through the process of printing. I love it. The people who drop in range from total beginners to experienced artists.

Its the jam and definitely my favorite part of my internship so far.
