UnInTel

The Unintelligent Design Society gathered up those objects that we once found useful and interesting but recently were gathering dust in the back of our closets, cupboards, garages and storage units. Last Saturday, OK generously offered her garage and driveway for a very successful garage sale.

We did alot of shopping and swapping amongst the membership. Fortunately, there were many shoppers who spent a dollar here and some quite a few dollars for a few special items. The fund raising for The Way Place was a great success.

As the salt-tinged winter winds blew across Carmel Bay, the atmosphere was cheery inside the dining room of the Sea Harvest at the Crossroads late yesterday afternoon. The gathering celebrated Karen Gelff’s work that evokes the balmy breezes of the Caribbean and Cabo. Vibrant colors, a mixture of textures and patterns in her portrayals of swaying palm trees on long white beaches, singing birds, swimming fish and happy octupi surrounded us.

Well, it wasn’t that stormy but just a little rainy and windy for the Center of Photographic Art opening of the latest exihibit, “Luminosity – the Art of ImageMaking” featuring our august UDS member Bimbi, known in the off-Playa world as Robin Robinson. UDS members turned out to support the creative effort with Ellen, Alan, Chris, Karen, Joel and Lance. Tomorrow night, the tribe will celebrate Karen Gelff’s opening at Sea Harvest at the Crossroads.
