Well, if its any consolation, there is no cure for what people will think, but you can move on regardless and do what you love. That said, I look forward to seeing you work, I'm delighted you are interested in showing it at SOFA with us. I understand your email very well, and I hope what I wrote in my blog was inoffensive. Please keep in touch - what are you doing these days?<BR/><BR/>Kind regards, MicaelaMicaëlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795694926973958036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759977283785032835.post-19886755645934248252008-08-23T21:42:00.000-07:002008-08-23T21:42:00.000-07:00Dear Micaela, Thank you...

As for the surfer in me- here is a small anecdote- I bought a cheap board right when I moved to Hawaii, and proceeded to use it only twice in the three years I studied in Hawaii. In the end I gave it away to a friend who used it twice the first day he received it from me. <BR/>I found that every time I mentioned to people that I went to school in Hawaii I was met with a sarcastic smirk and a comment along the lines of 'oh, I bet you study hard... on the beach' or 'it must be tough going to school in paradise,' which continuously aggravated me and drove me further into the studio and away from the hedonistic pleasures naturally paired with the place I lived. In short, I knew that if anyone were going to take me seriously, I would have to allow my workaholic side to take the lead during my tenure at the University of Hawaii. That's why you won't see 'accomplished surfer' in any claims I make about myself!...<BR/>WestonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
