Over the weekend I flew to Texas to attend Art Outside 2009. As I packed my inflatable suits, the weather report did not look good. Since I have no power to change the weather, I got in the car and drove to the Detroit Metro Airport. After arriving in San Antonio, I rented a car to drive to Apache Pass in Rockdale, Texas.
Rain thoroughly soaked the grounds of Apache Pass. The roads were rutted mud pits waiting to gobble up unsuspecting vehicles. After setting up camp and getting a bit to eat the sky remained dark. I decided to explore the grounds for places to go in my inflatable suits and to see the other exhibits and performers.
The next morning did not look promising with an even coat of gray clouds hanging in the sky. I performed twice with Big Red and You Wear What I Wear. The grounds gave me plenty of space to stomp around in the suits.
Unfortunately, Sunday started with rain. What would have been another fun day of performing, music and exhibits turned into a scramble to clean up in a mucky mess. In the end I had a good time and people enjoyed the suits. It is just too bad the the weather did not cooperate.
