CALL for ENTRIES: Show of Heads

Posted on May 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS UP

Goat heads, really? Caught a show called Extreme Cheapskates the other day just long enough to see a man by two goat heads for $7.50 total. In many parts of the world, goat heads are a common protein, and I’m not knocking it because I haven’t eaten it. My problem with the concept is that he was supposed to be an extreme cheapskate. I can buy 10 lbs. of chicken quarters for $6. Who knows. This next call won’t take hind quarters. Heads only please…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads exhibit at the Limner Gallery! Open to all artists and media, this exhibit is a great shot for all of you to dive in head first …pun intended.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Despite all my talk about butter, chocolate and all things yummy, we really do eat fairly healthy at my house. We limit excessive intake of fats, processed white sugar and foods with unnecessary chemical additives. I usually insist to avoid the premature expansion of my rear end and to offset a few other bad habits, ha. Organic bananas are a must. No they aren’t alway the prettiest, and yes, they spoil faster, but nothing tastes more like a banana. Here’s your chance to get back to something natural …
