I am sitting here being destracted by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as I try to write this. They are showing a bunch of his musical bits. Right now it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com\/blogs\/2011\/11\/the-doors-sing-reading-rainbow-theme\/\">The Doors doing &#8220;Reading Rainbow&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways I thought I would try and tire myself out with expending some energy by using my mind. That means I am going to write a post. Please forgive me if I seem more nonsensical than usual. I didn&#8217;t sleep much last night either, same problem, so I am running on about 3 hours sleep. I wonder how delirious I am going to be tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>So what to write about? Well,\u00c2\u00a0I know this is coming to you a bit late but I couldn&#8217;t not write about it no matter the\u00c2\u00a0consequences. Last weekend I went to the 2012 Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) at the Gladstone. This was the 9th year they have had the show but only the second time I have gone. Compared to last year I was better prepared for what was going to be presented to me. I think I enjoyed this years experience a little more than last. That is not because I thought the art was &#8220;better&#8221; per se but because I got a chance to actually talk to a lot of the artists who explained what was presented. This created a depth to the overall experience.<\/p>\n<p>I am not going to do a breakdown like I did last year but there will still be pictures, lots of pictures. There are uphoarded propane tanks, stained sheets, papered walls; things that react to movement, sound, and heat; technology mobiles, printing machines, and extended skylines; I even took a trip around the world and made a stop on another one. It was all very interesting. I will list them on their room number.<\/p>\n<p>201 &#8211; Wendy W Fok<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Wendy W Fok 1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Wendy W Fok - Elongated skyline\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Wendy W Fok 1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Wendy W Fok 2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Wendy W Fok - If I remember correctly this is supposed to be Singapore\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Wendy W Fok 2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>202 &#8211; Gareth Bate<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Gareth Bate.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-757 aligncenter\" title=\"Gareth Bate - Jewel Net of Indra\" src=\"https:\/\/underbellyofsunshine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Gareth Bate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>204 &#8211; UA With R.
