San Francisco Center for the Book Roadworks 2009

September 20, 2009

The sun and wind couldn't keep the scrappy and resilient book lovers from enjoying another SFCB Roadworks Steamroller Print Fair. This was the first year I traded in my volunteer apron to be a vendor, and it was a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to share table and shade space with the lovely Carolee of Podpost and Super Dilettante, and the talented "SFCB featured artist," Michael Wertz. (his large cut linoleum was gorgeous!). My little lino owl came out pretty well, though I think I will need to invest in some higher end carving tools (that's right, I'm blaming my tools), for next year's edition. There were so many incredible little linos, I literally wanted to buy them all. (if any of you are interested in purchasing these fine works of art, SFCB is having an auction in October.)

This area should contain a few sentences about what makes you unique. Be specific about what you like and what you’re looking for. It's the first section someone will see after your main profile picture – make it count! Focus on specifics and you’ll be able to attract someone who finds you unique and interesting. There are certain things that resonate with you, and qualities in a person that feel good to you in a relationship. Mention those things. The goal is to get people who are potential matches to start talking to you, not to get hundreds of messages from partial matches. Your ego might enjoy the attention of multiple messages, but ultimately it will be a waste of your time.
