Norfolk

I feel like I've been driving for years! I've just arrived in Norfolk for a meeting. Tons of stuff to discuss and post.

Meanwhile have fun with hotel art.

Kevin MacDonald (1946-2006)

Several of you have sent me emails to let me know that Washington area artist Kevin MacDonald passed away at 7:07 last night at Casey House Hospice in Derwood. He had been battling cancer for the last two years.

This is a significant loss to our area's art community of a very talented and respected artist and an exceptionally wonderful and decent human being.

Tate in the WaPo

While I was gone (I'm still gone actually... but heading back) to Colgate, the WaPo's Rachel Beckman had this piece on Tim Tate and the 48 Hour Film Project.

WaPo's Weekend Staff Online

I'm on the road... but keep the pressure up and ask good, intelligent questions!

The WaPo's Weekend staffers are online at 11AM today answering questions about Weekend and its coverage.

You can email your question to them here.

More arts coverage!

On the road...

Heading out later today to Colgate for a college reunion... more later.
