Dear Warren,
Thanks for the reminder about Radius 250. I'm putting my application in the mail.
And I wish we had a Second Street Gallery in the Northern Virginia area. Their programming is tremendous.
Best,
James
P.S. Are you going to attend the graffiti panel? If so, I hope you might consider publishing a review of it on your site. The discussion on J.T.'s site about the subject has been interesting.
