    Hellz yeah! Gotta applaud everybody involved especially Dori. Mike's very lucky you were the one to find his things.

  • Thanks everybody.

    The Washington Post ran a nice story today online (for those of you in the DC area it'll be a nice and colorful article in the print edition of this Sunday's Arts section).

    And we have definite dates for the show at The Smithsonian now: February 6, 2015 ??? July 26, 2015.

    Also, check THIS out! An art teacher in an elementary school in Tennessee got all 475 kids to make their own albums as inspired by Mingering Mike. Apparently the kids love him over there. So awesome.

    Some of my favorites:

    truth. so many people would've done this whole thing wrong and/or unscrupulously.

    More amazing in person. Mike is meticulous and the scope of ideas and work is fantastic.

    The museum of American Art is a little Smithsonian gem away from the craziness of the Mall.

    Thanks to DH for the guided tour.
