We’ve got the canopy!

Robin Riskin '12 | March 19, 2009

The canopy has been rented for the comfort station. Thank you Taylor Rentals. Thank you James for making me realize the party rental place was Taylor Rentals and not Taylor Reynolds, like the number in physics. Thank you Dorothy for making everything happen at the Campus Center (that’s where all the comfort will be next Thursday).

John was a clown today.

Robin Riskin '12 |

In conceptual art class today, David gave John a fuzzy red hat and put red and yellow face paint on him. The assignment was “Give and take.”

How to make a comfort station pt. 1

Jane Holloway | March 16, 2009

Today I went down to Fabric Row on South 4th St. to pick up some materials for Nao’s talismans. Ever-trusty Liz Turner came along as my unofficial unpaid among friends photographer. Here’s what I got.

I got 10 yards of velcro at Pennsylvania Fabric Outlet. cro

Get Your Sewing On.

Robin Riskin '12 |

We need you to sew heart pouches with us. We need you to eat food with us. We need you to have a sewing party with us in James House Tuesday and Wednesday night (Tues 7-10, Wed 8:30-10/after We Speak).

Whether you’ve been sewing all your life or have never stitched a stitch, come. We can’t sew, but we’re going to try. (There will be sewing machines. If you have one you can lend to us, let us know.)

We are sewing heart pouches for the comfort station we’re hosting with Nao around March 25th. We will also screen some of Nao’s films. She’s done some pretty great stuff—dressed up her dog Fufu as a water buffalo; dolled herself up in a huge blond wig, climbed a ladder, and sung “America the Beautiful”; traveled around the country dressed as Ronaldo McDonaldo and demanded a free hamburger. The list goes on.

Conclusion: Come to James House. Sew with us.

Tchotches

Robin Riskin '12 | March 9, 2009

I am currently raiding my house for “curing” tchotchkes for the comfort station. My mom is sad to part with her little toy bee and her flashing disco ring from my cousin’s bat mitzvah, but my dad is thrilled to get rid of all the junk in our house. Who’s going to get the green whistle, the rosary beads from my trip to Greece in 5th grade, or my orange star-shaped glasses from kindergarten?

Move on up

Jane Holloway | March 5, 2009

This post was originally intended for a post on another blog about my dad/music, but I think it belongs here too.

Download The Flying Lizards – Move On Up (Curtis Mayfield Cover)

In 1980, white British women sang a song written by black pioneer of funk Curtis Mayfield in 1971.

Searching for “move on up” in google also leads me here. Move-on-up is a social networking site for politically conservative African-Americans.

This “Move On Up” idea is pretty compelling because it’s a phrase that continues to circulate in different ways.

Jane Holloway | March 3, 2009

Yesterday evening Robin and I got to talk to Nao about her comfort station while she ate her dinner and wore a Star Wars fleece hat. We spoke with her about her new innovations for the personalized comfort hearts we will be creating for the comfort station.
