the joy of mysteries

I am a huge fan of art-o-mat art. As much as I like the originality of the art, I think it is the surprise of what your five dollars will get you. Will it be a sculpture? A black and white picture? Or a really crappy clothes pin with some letters glued to it? No matter what, it is great.


Well, this past weekend in Madison, me and some friends picked up a grab bag from the Exclusive Company. For $4.00, we got a bag full of stuff. The magical bag of mystery held some crappy cds and a Better than Ezra cd, tickets to a concert at the rave, guitar picks and seeds. You might think it was a waste of money, but the anticipation and joy we had opening it up made it worth it.

Oh and the rest of the weekend was great. Lots of laughs (Christy and Kelly), good food (Great Dane), drinks (Brocach) and dessert (Brocach). Shopping on State Street. Little Luxuries is my new favorite store with their Lug bag collection. Another successful visit to Madison!
