BK’s Scratching Post











{September 3, 2006}   Blogging and Cows

With some help, I finally figured out how to use this Blogger business and I found out that people actually read what I post here, so I thought that I would give you lovlies a little bit just for tuning in.

Gloria – The Cow
This whole journey started about 9 months ago, the end of last football season. My mom saw this ad in the paper calling for artists to design a cow. I know that sounds weird, but to make a long story short the Cow Parade is an international art festival celebrating the cow. Hey, I live in Wisconsin, it’s about time! Check out the link. It will explain it all.

101 cows were created and there were over 500 entries in Wisconsin, so I was pretty darn excited about getting chosen. I decopaged Wisconsin maps all over the life sized beauty. Photo album here. Super thanks to the DMV for donating the 59 maps to the great cause.

Did I say I was going to make a long story short? I’m trying, I’m trying. So the Cow Parade publishes a book in each city it goes to with all the cows that were done. The local Barnes and Noble hosted a signing with about 30 of the artists there. Everyone was absolutely amazed at how many people showed up. We sat and signed for three straight hours. It was pretty cool to see the turnout and the support from the community. This is the photo album from that event. .

Not sure how many of you get into the fall lineup, but I’m pretty stoked about Grey’s Anatomy season debut on Thursday Sept. 21. They made it to Thursdays now! Sweet!

I’m also pretty excited for the Rockstar:Supernova finale. We’ve got two weeks I think. I know Dilana is a bitch, but she’s damn good and right for Supernova.

Hope y’all are having a fab holiday weekend!
