2008 was the Year of Kate - and we all saw how that panned out. As such, I'm going to leave 2009 unlabeled for now, and not only because I can't think of a good rhyme. I can. Potential candidates include:
"the year of wine"
"get shit in line"
"it's going to be fine"
etc.
The Sleeping Giant party was a huge success, as can be seen by the photos on the Facebook event page. Sounds like there will be monthly parties at the gallery, so stay tuned - if you didn't make it to this one, there is always the next one.
Finally, it is actually good to be back at work. The one thing I learned about myself over this holiday was that I should not be permitted to have free time - when I do have it, disaster ensues.
