As in normally the case, I subjected Kevin to several of my "interview" questions.
Q: If you heard that sometimes people go into a room heated to 105 degrees and 40% humidity and do 90 minutes of yoga, what would you say?
A: No thank you. My aerobics class at the YMCA is plenty for me. No need for additional torture.
About twice a month. And he has set up his own art trading project inspired by bARTer Sauce. He's a fan. And I'm a fan of him. All that said, I've had to come up with probably hundreds of "interview" questions for Nik to answer.
So this time we're going with Fun Facts! Fun. Facts about Nik:
I compulsively cut my hair. Not in any professional way. In my mind it looks good but in the mirror not so much.
Jessamyn - like everyone else - was forced to endure my "interview" questions.
Q: What is the maximum amount you would pay for a cup of coffee?
A: $100--if it was big enough for me to swim in.
Q: Thumb: finger or not-finger?
A: Not-finger!
Q: Can you estimate how much turkey you ate this Thanksgiving?
A: Aproximately the size of 3 Hamsters.
Q: Would you say it was more or less than the size of an average dog?
Eric was kind enough to tolerate a batch of my "interview" questions.
A note from The Sauce -- all of my references to Jo Jo are about my friend Jessica who is a roller derby lady and a burlesque lady and a crafty vunderkind.
It may become apparent that I have no idea what vunderkind means. Or, by some chance, I may have used it correctly. Either way - keep it to yourself.
Nik's answers to my increasingly weird "interview" questions:
Q: Do you know anyone who snorts when they laugh?
A: 3 out of every 5
Q: Have you ever farted while sneezing?
A: Sometimes I've squirted
Q: Do you make your own hummus or do you let the grocery store rape you at $4 or so for a tiny container of the least expensive food on the planet: beans?
Theresa heard about bARTer Sauce after reading an article I wrote on Etsy's blog. She told me a sad, sad story about getting a bunch of views on a painting she made but then not selling it -- and not getting any "hearts" on it (that's what you call it when you add something to your favorites on Etsy).
Jamie came by during the November '09 Art Walk in Pioneer Square. She had just moved into the OK Hotel where I have my art studio. The first time she came by, she had two puppies. The second time she came by, she was a little tipsy and declared that we needed to do a bARTer Sauce trade. Fine by me.
She stopped by my old studio on the night before the First Thursday Art Walk to bring by a horse picture made out of stick pin sequins. I showed her the new art studio I'm moving to and told her how disappointed I was that I couldn't afford to paint it metallic gold. She said, "Why don't you just paint it gold and then throw glitter on it?"
