GSE: Trial Run and Idea Expansion

Trial Run- I spent part of my Saturday running around town taking care of business. I picked up a coffee, got a book at Powell's and went grocery shopping. I pretended I had all of my cards done and they were in my purse, ready to be distributed. I kept a look-out for anyone that might be a good candidate for a card.

I parked downtown, right in front of Jackpot Records. I got out and immediately locked eyes with a fine looking black man working inside. meow. Definitely would've like to give him one. I might need to go back ;) I wanted to give one to the dude playing his guitar in front of Powell's. His music was cheery and he had a nice smile. He deserved a little creative love. As I was leaving the grocery store, a big, burly dude walked by wearing shorts. He had the most incredible calves! They were huge and muscular. You could tell he was an avid bike rider. I love big guys who excerice. Those are my favorite. I turned left at 28th and pulled up to the light at Sandy. There he was in his truck, right behind me. I would've jumped out at the stop light to give him a card.

Idea Expansion- Earlier I wrote about creating a game where I passed out a card that included a clue to where a cool piece of art could be found somewhere in the city. The art could include a link to this blog and, hopefully, whomever found the art would write a comment about what they thought.

I've decided (as a side project) to skip the clue and just strategically place little pieces of art around Portland with a link to this blog on the art. I'll post pictures on the blog of each piece that I hide and people can log in and find the photo of the art that they found and write a comment. They could write about what they did with the art. Did they like it? Did they take it? Did they leave it? Pass it on? Throw it away? Something to work on this summer.
