Rally and Race

MARINE CORPS MARATHON! My Bestie, Ellen came in town from Nashville to run it with me. It was A great way to spend Halloween, my favorite holiday. And in typical Musgrave Fashion, barely qualifyed, but did qualify for Boston in 3:40:12 on the 10th of a second!

And Here is Sandra Bullock cheering on her sister. Ben tried to sell this picture to US WEEKLY, but for some reason this "I'm just like you," casually clad celeb shot didn't make the cut, but this one did?!

Rally to Restore Sanity was on 10/30/10. Ben, Brother, and I walked 3 miles to get a taxi to the National Mall. I did not see or hear Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.

Brother Matthew dressed as a Tea-Bagger, yes that is what you think it is.

And here was a cute poochie dressed as a shark. The rally is really speaking to him.

I am GAGA over Baked and Wired

Maggie Mayd Art is now on display at Baked and Wired!

I love this bakery, nestled in Georgetown by the C&O canal and smelling of quality java and treats right from the oven. Since my move to D.C. in February, I have visited this cupcake hub more then any other D.C. site. I am ecstatic, please go and try the best cupcakes in Georgetown- seriously- not even going to mention the competition.

This year, we have more than 10 artists being featured. We will be asking guests to vote on their favorite creation. A very special Earth Day award will be given to the winner of the People's Choice award.

Organic, fair-trade coffee and chocolate will be served, and there is a full-service bar/restaurant on the lower level. Guests are encouraged to stick around for the "after-party" featuring DJ Exosound, benefiting the GMU Garden Association.

PROCESS OF PERCEPTION
Group Show
April 9 - May 10, 2010

Opening reception: Friday April 9, 6-9pm

ADAM LISTER GALLERY
Old Town Village Plaza

3950 University Drive

Fairfax VA 22030

The Adam Lister Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of a group exhibition titled, "Process of Perception". This show will feature nine artists that engage in process based art making and deal with perceptual concepts.

We make a connection between ideas and images, while developing an individual understanding through our personal visual systems. The artwork brought together in this exhibit deals with the power of perception and at times feels real and illusionary simultaneously, open to being seen by different people in different ways at different times. The ability to visualize is based on a series of mental organizations and interpretations of sensory information. Mental images are created as space, objects, and movement create a single united awareness of one's surroundings. Information that we perceive constantly transforms, changing and reinventing itself from different viewpoints. All the various textures, symbols, forms, and impressions that we encounter on a day to day basis, make up our view of "reality".

The artists in this exhibition use their materials, processes, and techniques to establish certain perceptual qualities within their work. The exhibition will include painting, sculpture, site-specific installation, and photography.

Artists: Remmi Brant, Susan Brown, Tom Gonzalez, Joe Kupillas, Adam Lister,Maggie Mayd, Lisa Neher, Susan Noyes, and Jamin Sheard
