I think Browder went solo on this one. I was out of town at the time.

Opps. You would have thought we would have figured that out before.

Sorry Tom. Sorry Amanda. Sorry Helidon.

I finally listened to the whole piece while walking the dog. Wow, two of the wackiest laughs I’ve ever heard. Fun. Almost opposite and complementary! Some great comments. I absolutely LOVE the Tirana mayor-artist discussion and the parkinglot biennale. I want to be in the parking lot show! Emocionuese!
