I'll be there on Sunday from 2-5pm

Location:
AV-aerie, 2000 w. Fulton *310 (at Damen, just south of Grand)
Friday Dec 5, 7-11 pm
Saturday, Sunday, Dec 6 + 7, 11am-5pm

Potatoes at Pitchfork

Uber Tuber will once again be at the Pitchfork Musical Festival in Union Park, Chicago, July 18, 19, 20. If you are attending the fest, be sure to take a break over at the Depart-Ment tent, where you'll find all kinds of unique things from nearly 100 different crafty sellers. It will be next to the CHIRP record fair. I'll be volunteering Saturday from 2:15- 4:45, and 7:30- 10:15, and also Sunday 4:45- 7:30 pm. So stop by and say hi.

Potato Love Across the Earth

73 Uber Tuber postcards have arrived from Australia. They all came in a special potato package, sent by Brendan, coordinator for "The Humble Spud." People wrote the cards directly from the show. It was terrific to receive so many original potato messages, and drawings. And it's nice to know there are potato fans way down on the other side of the earth.
So, the postcard project was a starchy success.
Thanks for helping to share the potato love!

Postcards from Australia

"The Humble Spud" potato art exhibition was well received, and even covered by several newspapers. It was definitely a day for tubers in Sydney!
People wrote messages to Uber Tuber on Uber Tuber postcards. They were made to be mailed back to me, (or to my parent's address actually), but before that they were archived, and you can see them here:

Kudos to everyone who made this show happen. And to all those potato fans from Australia!

Uber Tuber in Australia: "The Humble Spud"

Uber Tuber is participating in "The Humble Spud," an all potato art exhibition taking place in Sydney Australia this weekend.
My part will be a mailing project with heart-shaped potato postcards. People will be invited to take the cards, write down their thoughts about potatoes, and then mail them back here. If it works, it will unite potato fans from across the globe.
