Comment by Thom Courcelle on November 17, 2012 at 5:21pm: This weekend event was FABULOUS!! Kudos to Carl Chew and EVERYONE who helped organize and pull this thing together. Can't even express how impressed I was... AND how pleased to meet so many artists and friends (some of whom I had been corresponding with for some time but never met before!) Do you know... I brought my camera with me to try to document some of the event and folks there. BUT I WAS SO BUSY MEETING PEOPLE AND ENJOYING MYSELF THAT MY CAMERA NEVER MADE IT OUT OF MY BAG!!

The distances that some artists journeyed in order to attend and display at this event blew my mind. Not only was there a fantastic representation of individuals from the Pacific Northwest, but also from the Pacific Southwest of CANADA, California, FLORIDA, and everywhere in between.

Great job everyone, and GREAT pictures, Jennie! So nice to see you and Jack (among others) there!

And WOW, was there ever some fab art and artistamps to see!!

Comment by Jack Lattemann on November 14, 2012 at 11:53pm: Thanks for all the great photos, Jenny. What a pleasure for Cascadia Artpost to have had a table next to yours at AARPEX. Truly a memorable weekend devoted to artistamps, and the perfect group of people with whom to share company and common interests.
