I always try to get up to the 3rd floor because so many people never do! The Torpedo Factory Artists Association gallery is great and there are so many artists doing great work.

@jennynordstrom.bsky.social and @sierrabravoart.bsky.social are On Here, too. (Maybe others!)

American University joining the AAC apparently

the American Conference now has a mascot, Soar.

which begs the questions: when will other conferences get mascots, and what should they be?

Great morning walking around Old Town North, seeing all the new development, talking about waterfront improvements, and hearing how the Arts District is coming along!

Definitely some kids climbing today. Although it may be more difficult in the heart of summer - those black sandbags are going to be hot!

It was great to see so many friends (including @sarahbagley.bsky.social) at last night's @alexchoral.bsky.social Washington Women concert!

This is one of the most meaningful performances I've ever had as a member of ACS and I'm so thrilled to have been part of sharing it.
