This Week in SPLAT! - July 28 and 30th

Tuesday, those who are performing at Open Mic Night will get a chance to practice. We'll try to get organized. We'll also be finishing our musical rain instruments.

Thursday is Open Mic Night - performers should arrive at 6 pm. Invite friends and relatives, or we'll end up video recording it like we did last year. Well, we'll probably video record it anyway . . . but it would be nice to have an audience.

Next Thursday is the last SPLAT (officially - more about that later) and it is

Something about 'man' hours . . .

Surprise! Before coffee art there was lavender wand making. The group was in the main challenged by the weaving: one person who shall remain nameless excelled at the craft, weaving a practically perfect wand.

Click the pic to see all of the pictures taken, including the lovely coffee art! Don't forget, we'll want you to bring your pictures back for the art show the end of the month.
