News from VIP WEBISM member Ann Tracy, Sacramento, CA, USA

Read what fabulous Ann has to tell us:

"...exciting news from your Webist in Sacramento....I'm directing the West Coast premiere of a one-woman show called "Does this Show Make my Butt Look Fat?", a comedy about body image, fashion dictators and chocolate which opens April 3rd.

I've also been invited to be a judge at a one-person theatre festival in Bacau, Romania from April 10th to the 16th. It follows on the heels of a conference on international art residencies I'm going to in Boston.

I will be able to spend a couple of days in Bucharest and visit our newest member Carmen! She's even going to make dinner for me - can't wait!

And because of a flight change, I will have to spend the night in Munich on April 19th.... I will probably staying at the Sheraton at the airport (because I can get a discount there) ... but if any Webists are in the area, would love to arrange to meet for drinks at the hotel, or someplace else I can get to by taxi!

take care everyone!

Cheers

Ann Tracy

Create art that somehow relates to 5 and get published when chosen

This month's bounded-art theme is . . . 5! Spring 2009 marks Alive Magazine's fifth anniversary, so we want you to create art that somehow relates to 5. Interpret that as you will -- as long as it doesn't denigrate another person, we'll put it in our bounded art album. Any art you send us will also be considered for inclusion in the magazine! Send a hi-res picture of your art to media@alivemagazine.org.
