Art.

I've always classified myself as an appreciater of art more than an artist. This is why I can tell you I went to the Ben Folds concert last night. He was accompanied by the Utah Symphony. Fantastic. I loved it. As my friend and I left the venue, we discussed why we love concerts. It gives people (be they musically talented or not) the opportunity to gather with others who feel the same way and appreciate a musician and their music.
I don't know if it is something about Ben Folds fans...or maybe fans of the Utah Symphony...but this was the BEST TRAFFIC EXPERIENCE that I have had in a really long time. People filed in one at a time so both lines of traffic continuously moved. I saw two police officers. Total. They were both on motorcycles. More than a mile apart from each other. There was even contruction. Absolutely amazing. City of Park City. I salute you.
In addition to music, I have appreciated more art this weekend. I have a friend who is a highly talented quilter. She does beautiful and amazing work. She called me on Friday and asked me if I wanted to try something with her this weekend. I said sure and resulting from this project, I have a new art form and goal.
We dyed fabric.

I know. It looks like I'm stewing sea urchins, but hey-I ended up with some really cool fabric. I now have a goal to make a quilt out of fabric that I dyed myself. Hold me to it. It'll happen.
