Friday Fun Day

Today was a really fun day! After a good nights sleep (over six hours y’alll!) we awoke to breakfast as per usual. I will say the food at camp has been superb. Compliments to the chefs on that breakfast pizza. We left the studio around 8:45 for Spudnick Press. Spudnick is a really cool nonprofit printmaking studio with shared equipment and classes and work spaces. We all got to participate in screen printing the posters we had designed. The lovely Angee Lennard and company taught us the basics and oversaw as all ten of us mix paints, burn screens, and print posters. Super fun and super satisfying to see your work go to print right before you eyes, so thanks Spudnick!

After lunch we got whisked away to yet another undisclosed location. I have given up trying to guess or plan what is happening next on the schedule and am learning to just roll with things. That undisclosed location ended up being the Department of Design at Leo Burnett. We arrived to lot of smiling faces and a table of snacks and grilled peach whiskey sours, so that was fun. It was really great to hear about tty work they do up on that 27th floor. Then came dinner at Cafe Ba­Ba­Reeba. Tapas and sangria for all! This was a great meal filled with good food and good conversation. After dinner we had a fun little evening of karaoke ! It was perfect because I have been talking about karaoke all week. Popular songs included Mr. Brightside by the Killers, Wannabe by the Spice Girls, Zombie by the Cranberries, and Complicated by Avril Lavine.

Overall, today was a great day. It felt really good to kind of relax, and start to get to know my fellow campers and our camp counselors a little better. With no work to talk about, we were able to talk about important things like nostalgic 80s prom songs, Fleetwood Mac, and our favorite vegetables. I am exceed to see what these last few days of camp will bring, but for now bed.
