Art Disaster & Tonight

David Nunez

10 Mar 2003

This morning I, stupidly, tried to tweak my plexi-glass art piece for tonight’s EFF-A / EFF / ACTLab / SxSW show.

I blew out my power supply. So I skipped all the SxSW morning sessions to quickly rig up an alternate power source. We’re back in business, though… I didn’t want to cop out under any circumstances.

This will be the first time I’ve shown any of my art in a public setting, so I’m scared out of my mind. Maybe breaking it this morning was a subconscious defense mechanism… doesn’t matter… I’m loading in at 7:00 and will be adjusting and securing up until 8:00.

Come by if you get a chance!
