Look folks - Nelsonville is just not the right place for someone like me. It's far too dull and lifeless - and there's only a handful (and I mean a small amount!) of people who sit on all the boards and hold all the public offices and do everything for their own businesses and wallets. They have a saying there "We do things the NELSONVILLE way..." and it's not quite the way I want to run my career.
Am I a little peeved... why yes, yes I am. But I'm not the only one closing shop. This little square has lost several good businesses and several good people - a tattoo studio, a bookstore, an antique shop, a scuba shop, and so forth. So it's not just me. I'm just the next to go.
I think I'm going to go back into creating projects like the Marilyn and Me piece and try to see where that takes me. Maybe some on-location client work too... though I really like the art projects a LOT.
I'm going to miss all the people I met here and my assistant Cassi. Sigh.... we had some great times here. But now it's time to create even greater times somewhere else.
