Coffee!
Beer! Treats! Art! Yep, it's the Last Friday Artwalk,
when Amy Smith Garofano (her art, pictured, shows
at Wandering Goat) joins forces with a host of other
fine artists like Crystal Wrobleski (Elemental Play),
Claire Flint (at the fun little Hillbillyhip store),
Wes Shafer and Ron Lafond (The Art of Glass), Oregon
WAND members and local youth (at CALC), John Holdway
and Teague Cohen (Studio C) and Jamie Burress (at
Studio B). Kiki Metzler hosts a holiday party in front
of her studio, and tons of other places get in the
fun. But the party's at the coffee place: If you can
believe it, Wandering Goat is now a 1-year-old, and
walking so well, too. Lots o' bands celebrate the
anniversary during the Artwalk, and Garofano's hypnotic
(her friends call say "obsessive compulsive") geometrical
designs might lull you even as the free espresso shots
kick you in the, er, you know. Fun times! Go to 
Recent
scientific studies proved that heart patients
who know they're being prayed for actually do
worse, health-wise, than those blissfully
free of divine intervention. But even if, as our
friend's athiest mom's bumper sticker says, "Nothing
Fails Like Prayer," people still like to believe.
The Unity of the Valley Church brings two events
for believers this week, one too spendy to place
in the calendar (but hey! We're putting on this
page anyway, what the heck). Bruce Lipton (pictured),
author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing
the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles,
comes to town to lead a two-day science/shamanism
convergence workshop with Nicki Scully
Nov. 30-Dec. 1 (go to shamanicjourneys.com for
details). And Oregon author Guy Finley
(365 Days to Let Go) pops in to Unity Dec.
4 to tell Eugeneans how to "Live the Extraordinary
Life." See Tuesday Calendar.
Gifts!
Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! Are you sick
of shopping yet? We love the Holiday
Market and hate spending money at
national stores, yet we gave in
and bought a $50 iTunes gift card
for a relative not too long ago.
Thankfully, the Eugene/Springfield
area simply teems with artists
and recycled/repurposed/reused gift
ideas. If you can't find or make
anything at the Maude Kerns Club
Mud Holiday Show, the "Build
a Birdhouse" program in the
West Eugene Wetlands, Greenhill's
"Art for Animals"
sale or Faith Rahill,
Faye Nakamura or Tracie
Manso's studio sales, zip (by
bus, carpool or bike, please) to
BRING's Less Is Best Holiday
Fair & Recycled Art Sale,
where art-making and buying opportunities
abound. It's not "shopping" if you're
tapping into your own creativity
or snagging a gift from our excellent
local artists like Tim Boyden,
whose recycled flying pig is pictured
here. See Calendar.
