Today, Danny Dobrow taught another delicious class based around the absolutely groovy (as I like to call it) chickens donated to us by one of our adult board members, Derek Haars (thanks buddy). Along with the fried chicken, we made gravy and dumplings, corn bread and some of the largest apple pies I have ever encountered.
Dewi Sant‘s final stop on their tour was in Northfield, and as always, The Key was very happy to see them again. So were the bats swooping around overhead. They were really happy to see Dewi Sant.
Also along for the ride was The Lonelyhearts and We Are the Willows (below picture).
Kellen and I helped make some sun jars at the Key. We used solar LED lights from some cheap lawn ornaments and put them in Ball jars. Good times were had, and rooms were dimly lit. Art Night is every Thursday at 5:00. Keep checking to see what will be happ’nin’ next week. (I’m thinking tiny terrariums.)
Thanks to our dear friends in Dewi Sant, Tail Chaser, Phantom Tails and Fort Wilson Riot for playing the most incredible drum-free show The Key has ever seen. A special thanks to Justin for running sound for most of the show.

On Thursday, Danny Dobrow taught the gang some more fantastic recipes to stash under our belt. The Pad Thai was great and the wontons were gone before you could say “Luang Phibunsongkhram.”
Art Project is back after a teeny, tiny hiatus, and an itty, bitty switch-a-roo.
Join Kellen and Marie on Monday at 5:00 to decorate antique skeleton keys! We will be sending these to kind humans that have donated to the Key.
Then, on Thursday, come on down to make a birdhouse. Hopefully Kellen and I will have all of the lumber cut, all you need to do is come down, assemble the house, and paint! Everything will be provided and (as always) will be free.
I think they'll look like this... we'll see what Kellen has to say about that.
