I found it compelling after reading Chris's. The perfect foil. I didn't even get an invitation and have been an Edmonton Blogger for over 2 years, and worked at fundraising for the building... and have a major in fine art... so, I even found it somewhat "offensive" that some of us were invited, and some were not. What was the criteria...? But. to be honest, I really don't care in the grand scheme of things. There are only a handful of us in this city... Surely, all could have been invited... but then, I wouldn't have gone. I teach full time. I just found this to be a bit "funny". A handful of bloggers were invited to "get the word out". Yet, others were not. Vely intelesting. It is a good idea, but not without its bumps, that is for sure. And, I am sure all is gorgeous. I cannot wait to get in there and see the art work. We are so behind in that area in this city. Art is such a profound expression of our culture and we do need to do more to nurture it in this community. You wrote about the treatment of bloggers compared to your experience as a reporter. Well done. It certainly didn't diminish my anticipation of the opening of this facility, and I don't feel you need to pay penace by volunteering - but volunteering is a necessary community activity, any way. Good for you! So, this is two of us who are slightly negative. I have big shoulders. I am not competing with anyone. But, if I feel this way, how must the others in out small community feel? Enjoy your day! V I think you need not appologize for your response and view. I found it compelling after reading Chris’s. The perfect foil.
