Photos at last
Let's be honest, this is still pretty good for us. Oddly enough, I've apparently had the photos ready to go for ages. I had to look at the site three or four times just to make sure they weren't already up.

| St Constantine's -- the church, not the school part |

| St. C's school cafeteria/multipurpose room, great Ukranian art style everywhere |

| Mary two-forkin' it. These perogis are totally worth it. |

| SooVAC and an adorable budding art critic |

Final leg of the crawl; and, dinner
It's a very good thing Mary D had the notion to update the site throughout the day because apparently we are bad bad bad at following up after the event!
The last stop, art-crawl-wise, was the AZ Gallery just down the sidewalk from the Black Dog. It was one of the last days of their multi-artist A Midwinter Night's Dream show. There was a variety of media to be seen, ink and paint and woodblock and photography and jewelry, and some of it was quite appealing.
Then it was off to Babani's to dine, in conjunction with the Bus Hooligans' monthly dinner. A good crowd turned out, twelve of us in all, which caused a bit of confusion but everything got sorted out and the food was delicious. Oh my, yes.
I'm starting to sort through my photos, and I'll see about posting a representative set before too much more time goes by.
P.S. "Museal" is a word!

Happy IMAD!
I'm just popping in to tweak the calendar and to wish you all a wonderful International Mary Appreciation Day!
Mary D and I hope you have lovely things planned. One of these years we'll have a nice, quiet escape to a retreat for the day...but not this year. This year we're hitting the ground running yet again. Perhaps we'll even be able to check in and let you know how we're doing! We shall see soon enough.

IMAD ideas: Tasty eats
Wow, I'd totally forgotten that I'd put a countdown calendar on the site. Sorry about that, everyone. Fixed up for the impending event now.
But that's not what I'm here to talk about. If on the 24th you've got a day crammed full of responsibilities you just can't shift, remember, you still have to eat. Take yourself out to your favorite restaurant, or get take-out if you have to keep moving. If even that much time is going to be hard to find, plan ahead and pack a lunch that will remind you that Past Mary was thinking about Present Mary and wishes her all the best on her fine holiday.
Mary D and I always put some thought into what we're going to eat before the day arrives. Even when we were consulting the oracles for the date of the event, we were already considering our dining options. For this year's event, we'll be having dinner at Babani's, the first Kurdish restaurant in the United States.
Babani’s Kurdish Restaurant
544 St. Peter St.
St. Paul, MN. 55402
651-602-9964

(And we'll probably be having lunch at our usual perogi haunt, but I'm not going to say where it is until after we've been there so you don't beat us out of the delicious potato goodness -- supplies that authentic are limited!)

IMAD 2012 decided
The Marys found it challenging to set the date for IMAD 2012. Though there was no question of voter fraud there were difficulties.
However by bringing the level-headness and tenacity that is every Mary's birthright to the decision --synergy magic was activated and the date has now been set.

Time to turn on your super planning powers and plan a wonderful IMAD for yourself and any other Mary, Marie, Maria, Mara, Maire you can get to join you.
I hope you have a very merry IMAD!
