The ArtFarm Decatur

Guess what?
The universe really DID take care of me!

Also, I really do miss your faces.

The Farm filled up so fast that I’m not sure many got to view the history of that building that I had hanging in the back.
I’m leaving it at the shop today for whomever the next renter may be.
I think knowing history is peachy keen. 😁

So here I am!!!!!
New phone - still doesn’t text correctly - but my photos are in here!
So,
The incredible amounts of love heaped upon me by strangers to best best friends & family over the past few months has been, in all honesty, overwhelming.
Sometimes you can get so immersed in the grind that you neglect to really see what’s all around you.
Or maybe you’ve been told it’s not real.
And maybe that’s bu****it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who pushed me to the best possible place to be pushed to.
To every artist that ever trusted me, to every customer, colleague, friend. To each and every musician that graced an event, the sound guys, those of you who supported the living hell out of what we made happen in every way, shape or form.
To WAND, The Herald & Review, Activator, The Chamber, Decatur Magazine, Millikin University and many other outlets who never hesitated to elevate us in the community.
To the children I got the privilege of watching grow up while The ArtFarm occupied its space. Mr. Panda thanks you for the love, carrots and attention.
To the weirdos, the people who left boxes of chicken on my stoop, escaped half-clothed through back windows late at night and bathed in the fountain for God & everyone to see, thank you for the entertainment.
To the two new parking enforcement officers working North Park Street these past few months, thank you. The goodness in your hearts did NOT go unnoticed. You could have kneecapped me but you chose a path of compassion.
To my neighbors to the east - stay fiesty and protect our corner, ladies. 😉
To all of the neighbors I’ve had over the years - some I’ll be friends with forever. Some, well, maybe not so much. Hahahahaha -
I could go on forever but I won’t subject you to that.
I’m currently pulling rabbits outta my hat…
Hold on to your butts.
Love you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
