POEMÂ TOÂ THEÂ ARTISTÂ ATÂ THEÂ BAR
People are walking behind you
Lots of them
Nipple faces
Can’t be lost
The confrontation
Awaits
The proof
In a jar
Away
Then again
Here
People are running in front of you
A few of them
Incongruity
The city

South DaCola art club w/ Chris Browne & Eyob Mergia
Two of my artist friends will be having shows over the next week.
Please join us at Augustana’s Eide/Dalrymple Gallery for the closing reception of “On Bunny Hillâ€: cartoons, watercolors and illustrations by Chris Browne this Friday, February 5, 7-9 pm. Browne is a nationally recognized cartoonist–most known for his syndicated cartoon, “Hagar the Horrible.” Browne’s true wit, however, shines in his cartoons and “gags” that he has created over several decades for publications such as The New Yorker, Playboy, and National Lampoon.  The exhibition also includes his most recent watercolor paintings and children’s book illustrations.
Also mark your calendars for the following week, Friday, February 12, 7-9pm, for the opening reception of “Axum: the art of Eyob Mergia.” Mergia was born in Ethiopia, but now resides in Sioux Falls. His newest body of work explores his identity and heritage through symbols and images from Ethiopia’s treasured monument, the Obelisk of Axum. His exhibition runs February 11- March 12.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Saturdays 12:00-5:00 p.m. Saturday; closed Sundays. The Eide/Dalrymple Gallery is located in the Center for Visual Arts on the Commons Circle off 30th Street and Grange Avenue.  For more information, call 605-274-4609 or visit us on the web at www.augie.edu/arts.
This outta be good. The Argus Leader will stream the 2nd Sioux Mayoral forum live, and Janoct ‘Bo’ Ajda will be in attendance
Janoct will make for an interesting forum. He usually takes stands that no other politician takes, and it makes for great listening. I still remember when he ran last time for mayor and schooled the candidates that homeless people are not ‘problems’ they are ‘citizens’ of our city because they pay sales taxes just like the rest of us. You could have heard a pin drop.
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE ARGUS FOR BROADCASTING THIS LIVE, NOW I DON’T HAVE TO DRIVE TO TEA (Trail Ridge) TO SEE THE EVENT LIVE.
