The Cedars Art Gallery
1114 S Akard St Dallas, Texas
The fee (so far) is $20 per person. If we get enough people it would be less. That's why I'm pimping this. If you want to go, drop me a line and I will send you the email address of the person collecting the money for this. (As the model is being paid in advance.)

Some links I've been meaning to share...
First off!
Yeah! \(^o^)/ This one makes me very happy.
New Oregon Law: Animals Can Be Included in Domestic Violence Protective Orders
http://aldf.org/article.php?id=1731
Derwent Employee Alison Sprately volunteered in Africa at St. Lucia's. She took with her several Derwent pencils and accessories.

Do you like Sherlock Holmes stories? Read "The White Company" or the Professor Challenger series? There is a "Save Undershaw" preservation thing going. Undershaw was Arthur Conan Doyle's home that he had built. Doyle also drew the first draft before it was passed on to the architect, Joseph Henry Ball.

And Nowzad on facebook. Nowzad is an organization that rescues dogs and cats from Afghanistan. Some of their fund drives are for animals that were befriended by service personnel, and need all their shots and paperwork to go home with their military 'hoomins'.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/nowzad/110252975672446
Friend them on facebook and get the latest information on their charges. Oh. and are these pictures cute or what? I got them off Nowzad.
Military guys with kittens. Is there anything cuter?
Yeah! \(^o^)/ This one makes me very happy.

Christian A. Young
Have I pimped Chris Young's monthly mailings of "Hold Something?" If I haven't well then here it is...
http://dimlightarchive.com/?page_id=684
He's a great story writer. Every month you get a photograph and a story. Every story so far has been great reading.
But Chris is also trying to raise money for something else, his "top surgery." (Mr. Young is an FtM.) So if you want to help Mr. Young take his shirt off, go to the page in his journal that talks about it.
http://dimlightarchive.com/?p=989
Boosting the signal would be greatly appreciated.

Charlotte AKA Charlie Organized by Nowzad Dogs
http://nowzaddonations.chipin.com/charlotte-aka-charlie
Clipped from the page...
Charlotte AKA Charlie was found as a kitten during a mission on routeCharlotte. He was alone at the time andnot wanting her to get run over by the convoy we picked him up. He was probably only a few months old and curled up inside a helmet on the ride back to base. On the compound he quickly became a part of the small team. Everyone helped totake care of him between taking milk, tuna and chicken from the dining hall tohaving family mail cat shampoo and toys. He’s always been great at relieving stress after longdays on operations and has really become part of the family that guys grow todepend on during deployments. We’ve hadhim five months now and with our redeployment soon we want to find a way tobring him back to the States so we know she’ll be safe and not have to struggle to survive. Her impact on the guys has been tremendous especially given that not one of them could would have claimed to be a cat person before we found him.
Certainly a very special animal that has had a huge impact on this deployment.If you are wondering why his name is Charlotte AKA Charlie it is because when we first found him on route Charlotte we thought he was a female but on arrival at the Nowzad Shelter 'she' was actually found to be a 'he' so is now known as Charlotte AKA Charlie!!!
