Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
I long to make contacts with others pursuing art as a career, especially self-made artists (ie, never went to art school). I need to learn more about how to get involved in the art scene in Indy. Also, really enjoy conversing about how to DO art.

We will be there! Debby (Zach's Mom) will probably be with us. Can't wait to see it!

hi! A Caesar Holiday will play at 911 Mass Ave at 4pm on the 30th! From 6-8pm there's a pitch-in for the artists -- not sure what that's about.
It's scheduled to be an outside show, but if the weather's bad it will move inside the 911 building.

ACH is playing aug. 30 at Fringe in the afternoon - he doesn't know what time exactly yet.
They will be somewhere near the Mass Ave. video store.

Hi Karen!
I'm sure you're going to Fringe Fest -- let me know what shows you're going to, I'd like to join you!

Hey there Karen! Nice to "Meet" you! I am a self-taught artist and enjoy art talk as well. Hope we can meet in person sometime. The one thing I really enjoy doing is getting together with other artists and going to the art museum and just hanging out. Enjoy your summer!

Very cool, hope to see some of your work soon! Of course I will be at the Elegant Funk show the same night as you are at Visual Fringe. Will the fringe show hang for more than one night?

Hey, Karen, welcome to Smaller Indiana. Saw your comment regarding the Elegant Funk show. Sure do hope you can attend - I would love to meet you. BTW - what's your art????

Karen,

that is a strange event, with the ties between your and your families histories being related. So we may be related in more ways than one!

I do not recognize any of the other family names that you mentioned, but I did not even know of Bob's existence until a few years ago.

My dad never mentioned this side of the family, and as he is dead I don't know why. My dads father died by a freak accident when my dad was only 3, so he may not have know a lot about the groups of the family from other states. After all, he was born in 1920 and telephones and ease of transportation were not available back then to them as they are to us now. Just don't know how the families got split up but is nice to have some contact with you folks now.

I was planning on coming down to see Bob this summer, but had vehicle problems and had to cancel.

It would be nice to meet you and Bob Jr. someday.

My mother, Charlotte, lives in northern Florida, my sister Charlotte Anne in Minneapolis and my brother, Gordon in North Bend, WA.

I had a great love for art projects in high school, and would really love to develop a talent for wood carving, bronze casting and photography when I have the time.

I would like to hear more about your artistic endeavors.

Bob and Alyz and i went to the annual Birds in Art show in Wausau when they were here and they always have some awesome carvings and castings.

I think they both enjoyed the show.

Hi Karen,

yes Bob in Fort Wayne and I are related, so I am also related to your husband and therefore you.

I met Bob last summer when he and Alyz, from Germany, came to Wisconsin to visit me.

I was just doing some word searches on the Masbaum name and then found the Smaller site and saw your name.

Small world eh?

Karen,

my name is John Masbaum, and I am related to Bob Masbaum in Fort Wayne.


So am just wondering if you know him.
