You know you are an artist in Wichita when:
- You find yourself wrapping a chair with masking tape at 3:30 am...on a Saturday.
- Your family wants to know when breakfast is, and you think "at 11:00 am I'll be ready to eat..." You are still wrapping a chair in masking tape.
- That evening your family wants to hang out, eat some holiday chocolate, and watch your favorite TV show together. You are busy filling old yogurt containers with sand, and wrapping a chair in masking tape.
- Your family wants to eat lunch with your in-laws on Sunday. You have to now explain to your in-laws that you are wrapping a chair in masking tape, so you cannot come. They are sweet people, so they send lunch over to you. You now get to show them that you are wrapping a chair in masking tape.
- Your family is making christmas candy with your in-laws on Sunday afternoon, and entertaining a family friend. He asks where you are. Your wife has to explain that you are at home...wrapping a chair in masking tape.
- You take a break from the masking tape to attend a holiday concert with your family. When you get home at 9:00 pm you say goodnight to your family so you can pack up two boxes of yogurt containers filled with sand and finish wrapping a chair in masking tape.
- Your low point for the weekend: your son asks when this weekend's weekend will come...
- Your lower point for the weekend: picking up the Arts section of your local paper to see front page coverage of a middle school student who invented a new hamburger for Red Robin...really...front page coverage...in the Arts section...
- Your high point for the weekend: wrapping a chair with masking tape.
