12:25 pm - done and done.
so today i left the day spa. it was all on good terms.
i've just been dissastified with how things were going there. and the managment team was kind of poor.
the owner was great and the space was amazing. i hope they make it through these stupid touch economic times.
today i called a regular client that owns a gym to see if i could pick up some work there. he was totally game. so i'm going to head in and meet with the manager of the bodywork dept. i'm excited about that oppertunity. i think my skills and ambitions will be better utilized there.

09:27 am - what fun!
so i had my art show. as always things worked out perfectly!
my art was well recieved and i even sold a piece!
how spectacular! friends and family came by, but there was an issue with the time, so some friends made it a little too late. everyone thought we were going to 10, then some fella decided we were only going to 8. boo.
i sold one piece that will hang in a local kids room. the kid isn't born, it's just called baby sasaphras... or something like that.
with my sale, i purchased some new oil pigments and canvas and primer. i'm ready for my art to get to a next level which i think may be easier on canvas.
well, it was a lot of fun. i plan on doing more as i casually pass through time.
here is a pic of me and mommi foucher. she lent me a million easels and things. we were coming up north when the bridge at navy peir opened up. which i've never seen before. we ended up getting out of the car and looking about. it was hysterical when the boats finally started coming through because only one tiny little boat showed up. both me and mommy fou laughed at that. finaly the other boats came through.
i was hoping to get images of the bridge and some boats... but instead i get a ferris wheel sticking out of my head... HA!
now i need to purchase a laptop... yipes.

03:11 pm - art show
David Wallsteadt is a creative soul hailing from Edgewater Beach. He thinks art is fun and sexy!
Using a plethora of mediums he quietly protests war. He invites you to take a look at the whimsical world he’s created, and to take a breather from our often over-hectic lives.
Enjoy.
come enjoy some art and queerness at Queertopia. Saturday May 2nd from 5-10 pm it will be in the Center on halsted.
hope to see you there.

02:01 pm - new puter.
okay.
i need some advice.
my computers have finally used up all their usefullness and i need to replace them with one very useful new computer.
i am not tech savvy in one bit.
so i don't really even know where to start.
all i really need to computer for is microsoft word and publisher for my newsletter. maybe some itunes as well, but music can be a real devil... so i'm iffy on that unless i'm purchasing CDs and burning them in all proper like. i don't have the internet at home and i'm okay with that. but i wouldn't mind if the laptop had some sort of wi-fi capability so i could miander off to a coffee shop or other such place and quickly log in.
now beyond that i spoke with a local computer repair place to get their imput. they told me to avoid HP and Compaq as those are the laptops they most frequently see in for repairs. they suggested Acer for a nice cheap computer. and strongly endorsed the Lenovo computers as the best choice.
my budget is around 600 but could go a smidge higher, but will always accept functioning quality products for free.
i have issues with purchasing online, not for identity theft reasons or anything of that sort, but more because of the lack of personal finese that comes with dealing with people. with that said i have found some great deals online... and i may be swayed with just the right argument.
if any of you have suggestions on computers, things i might need, or not need, things i should avoid and places to go for answers i will appreciate all of that!
many warm hearts,
David.

01:09 pm - Puppet Show!
I think i want to do a group project, and that project should revolve around a puppet show!
anyone interested, let me know!
we'll need help making puppets, making the stage, getting music together, lighting, scripts and all that good stuff.
we can start off small just doing it for parties and fun different things to do. and then we can start taking over open mics and grand venues!!!!
then the WORLD!!!!
hahahah.

09:55 am - lets see...
yesterday i had a suprise day off. that was nice, but i could always use the money instead.
so instead of making money i went out to spend some. first stop was the USPS office... i needed to get some post card stamps. would you believe the post office of all places didn't haven't stamps... doesn't that sound like madness to you?!?
then later when i stamped my postcards with regular envelop stamps i went to drop them in my local blue box... and **POOF** it was gone! what the USPS doing to me?!now to get to a blue box i either have to walk an extra block and half there and back, or cross super busy streets. dang!
over the weekend i went out to iowa for a spring equinox music festival. it was pretty cool. i guess if i were in the 90's it would have been a rave... but it's the 00's so it's an event. i had a hoot.
otis has been getting a work out as of late. bicycle season is upon us! just wait and see, shorts will have to be worn in no time!!
i'm working on my next newsletter. i'm fleshing out the theme and articles... i think i need to get a new computer. maybe something little and portable. but nothing fancy. just something that i can type on and have my archiac publisher program on. my buddy nick told me that i could use his super duper industrial printer for free to print them off next time! sweet!!!
okay. that's about it.
chat soon.
hearts,
david.

04:41 pm - Birthday plan
Okay for my birthday we've decided we are going to Great America. probably on monday the 22nd. so people will need to take days off.

let me know if you want to come and make sure i've got your post address, email me at daveewo AT gmail.com. i will forward an invite to you.
many hearts,
daveewo.

01:09 pm - wait a minute...
i may be thinking of going back to plan A.
What does everyone think about going to Great America for my Birthday?
I'd want to get a charter bus to get us there and back. maybe a cooler of booze and all that good stuff for the ride home.
Everyone would be responsible for their own tickets. but we could probably get some group or family rates.
I was also thinking of doing it on a weekday which may require taking a day off work. but weekdays would be a smidge less crowded then a weekend, which would be overwhelming and tedious.
let me know what people are thinking.
hearts.
wo.
ps
Group rates:
Groups of 20+, pay just $29.99 + tax ($30.89) per person when tickets are bought in Advance. Plus, you'll receive one free chaperone ticket for every 20
pre-purchased. Tickets can be bought online, by mail, or by phone.

12:20 pm - Warm weather.
Oh, this week is a lovely one.
yesterday i couldn't hold out anymore. i went and got Otis's tire fixed and went out for some lovely afternoon biking.
i'm ready for nice weather like this to linger around for a season or more.
in other news one of my cats has a bad cut on her face. (she's into self mutilation) so i've been giving her an ointment on the cut and keeping it clean and clipping her nails to keep her from scratching at it more. she doesn't like this ritual.
today when i was going through the routine. she was looking up at me all sad and pathetic look saying "But Dave, i've done nothing but love you and be the best cat i can be... Why? Why? Why are you torturing me so?" and it makes me feel like a turd because i can't tell her its for her own good and that it's making her better.
well, i do tell her that, but she doesn't understand... instead she runs away from me when i go to pet her. how tragic.
on a lighter note... i'm still planning my birthday. if anyone knows Jack Johnson, can you please forward this message along: "will you please play for my birthday in late june. i will pay you in admiration and cookies. many thanks, dave e wo."
hearts.
wo.

09:50 am - Planning my Sed.
okay i need to make a portfolio.
i want to have a digital format as well as a physical format you can hold.
do you have any suggestions on how to get some good images of oil paintings? feel free to chime in with your findings and understanding.
i want something amazing and spectacular to hold on to. and some amazing pics to that say, wow, i'd be dumb not to have this dudes stuff in my gallery.
This is all part of my master plan for the Sed, 30th anniversary Jubilee!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed_festival
i'm thinking of having it at a local gallery which would be fun, and what would be even more fun was if i could have my own opening night there for my birthday.
i want it to have enough space to have a little wine & water bar. and i would love it if i could have a little stage for some local artists to play their misc music. hot hot hot!
i wouldn't mind having it catered... maybe some popcorn specialists, a sweets person, perhaps a bread artison.
fun fun fun!
must run.
chat soon.
ps my friend chanda created a facebook account for me. the user name is "daveewo Wallsteadt" find me and add me.
many hearts.

08:53 am - by popular demand.
The Coke head story.
So i joined a friend at a local dive bar. it's more cute and precious then seedy and gross... but it's close enough to a seedy and gross place that sometimes the groups spill over and intermingle.
well, i met up with brandon at lovely Gino's North for a night cap. shortly after arriving i had to take a potty break so i went to the back, as the bar was a bit crowded i had to nudge and excuse my way through. this includes tapping people on the shoulder to let them know i'm behind them and they have to get their fat asses out of my way because i have to pee.
i tap on this one gentlemans shoulder once to get to the bathroom; and then again to get back to my chair when.
apparently this was an open invitation for him to follow me back to my chair and friends. he opened a dialog with me telling me all about how i was sending him signals by tapping him on the shoulder. i agreed, as i was sending him signals to get out of my way.
he thought the signals had a deeper more carnal meaning. i did my best to reassure him that was not my intent.
he then attempted to sweeten his offer by saying he had tons of cocaine and wanted to party, and inquired if i would party with him....
oh no no no... i insisted that i most certianly was not sending him any signals and i most certianly would not go "party" with him. i suggested he go over to that seedy underbelly of a soul sucking bar down the street. he would find something more interesting and up his alley there. he didn't like that suggestion.
upon being ignored he finally migrated away only to harrass more patrons of adorable little Gino's.
finally the bar tender had enough of his rif-raff and escorted him out. as they walked to the front door i put my hands together and applauded his exit. Hurray!
the end.

11:51 am - coraline..
yesterday some friends and I decided to go on an adventure. the weather was gorgous to get all us home bodies out of the house.
we did everything perfectly and our timing was amazing. we even met up with eachother down town in front of the theater at basically the same time.
we went in to the theater to purchase our tickets... the movie was sold out. what a bummer.
so we watched slumdog millionarre.
what a dreamy movie. i sobbed like a baby.
last night i had odd dreams... and then this morning i was inspired to do art. i (more or less) finished one painting. and did some preliminary sketches on a couple more ideas.
i am not drinking for the rest of the week. i think it's been a few day binge that i've been on. no good. my body is a bit cranky.
that's it for now. hope all is well,
many hearts,
David.
