Saturday April 29
Just had to document a day in the life of an art car owner. Left home at 8am heading to the downtowm farmer's market to get my kale for the week in Maize. Saw a car going the other direction stopped under the viaduct on Peabody. Thought it was weird. 5 blocks later a guy jumps out of his car with his phone wanting to take a picture of the front of Maize. Said his girlfriend had been trying to catch up with me for 5 lights! Told 'em they had to take a picture of the back and he said they already had one...gave him a Kernal of Truth book.
9am getting gas on Getwell a guy says "Did you paint it?" and after I said yes he replies smiling "It reminds me of the 60's? Know what I mean? Hippies".
10:30 at Home Depot the 2 guys loading the car next to me are smiling. One asks " Is that a Subaru?" to which I reply "yep and just about to hit 300,000 miles!"
1:30 on Perkins at Poplar a family in the car next to me is honking. Passenger yells the typical "Did you paint that yourself?" and my nod gets a thumbs up from the whole car.
Next a guy in a pick up hollars " How as the parade?"......... "Excellent" I replied grinning from ear to ear.
Finally, at the V & E Greenline public art dedication saw Bianca and she said "I knew you were here somewhere because I saw Maize."
It is such a gas to have an art car on a beautiful sunny day in Memphis.

I updated the Kernels of Truth booklet to look like a kernel of corn. Angi, the Corn Goddess handed them out in her suit made of old floppy discs.
