Seattle, WA
To all my former co-workers
(and anyone interested in art and coffee shops):
I ran into Susan Elek the other day whom some of you may remember from the Foundation. She left before a lot of us because she wanted to pursue her art. I was excited to see her because I wanted to find out how post-foundation life has been for her.
I was pleased to hear she is having an art showing this month! You can view her paintings at Caffe Ladro in Lower Queen Anne on the SE corner of Roy St. and Queen Anne North. The paintings will be up until the end of January, so try and sneak a peak while you can! Bring your friends and family as well.
Caffe Ladro
600 Queen Anne Ave. North
Seattle, WA
Open: 5:30am – 11pm every day.
One of the things I always valued about our former place of employment and the people we worked with was how supportive we were of each other. Whether it was sponsoring someone for a health run or taking dinner to a sick co-worker, we really seemed to be an extension of each other’s lives and a source of encouragement for their aspirations. Even if we didn’t know each other very well, we still found time to show an interest.
I think a lot of us have benefited from this “family” that was created through all the positive support. Let’s show Susan the same support, especially in this post-foundation time. Besides, nothing beats a good cappuccino on a cold day in a cozy coffee shop.
I’ll be leaving the Foundation on March 29th to begin my new career as a government leech and societal sponge. Soon thereafter, I’m planning an open house to display my stubble, my gut, and my collection of take out boxes. I hope you’ll all come by to support me in this new endeavor.
Has Susan considered having someone get display her work online? I’d love to go to her show but alas, distance prevails.
I think she may have something in the works, but if not, I bet one of us would LOVE to help her with a website to display her work.
KT,
If I lived out there, I’d be there in a second.. sounds dizz-ope…
Reading your blog made me sad ONCE AGAIN about not being there enjoying the city and all it has to offer in terms of culture. I miss Seattle. Glad someone is enjoying it, though.
Hi everybody! I received a second call about the paintings last night — hopefully this time it will end in a sale. Speaking of websites, elekart.com has been reserved since the spring. If anyone’s interested in a trade (website help for painting or tons of cards) please let me know!
