Thank You, Boonville, MO!

Train Depot, Boonville, Missouri

I'm out. Thanks to everyone in Boonville! There are too many people to personally thank but a big shout out to: Sarah Gallagher, Boonville's Economic Development Director; Brad Wooldridge, the local bartender, entrepreneur and lawyer; And Stephen Perry, musician, writer, and all-around inspiring guy. Also, a special thanks to Frank and Julie Thacher, Jim and Tia Higbie, Jim and Paula Shannon, Daniel and Dick Blanck, and Kari Evans, for hosting me during my thirty-day stint in Boonville, Missouri. You were all fantastic and I will spread the word amongst all my dirty-New York-artist-friends and tell them they can get a comfy bed and warm meal! Also, a big THANK YOU to everyone at the Hotel Frederick. You guys are awesome!

There were many more wonderful people that have fed me, spent hours showing me around and put up with me photographing them. Thank you all. I had a wonderful experience in Boonville, MO. Although some of it was challenging, artistically, I have come away fully inspired and I am looking forward to returning to you all soon...hopefully this November!

Wish me luck. Boonville, North Carolina is right around the corner!
