Don’t Panic!!

4 May

All the artists had been confirmed, the art work had been handed in, the new walls were in the gallery and painted white, the lights had been installed, the upstairs lounge and the floors still needed to be looked after as well as some of the ceiling still needed to be touched up with black. We had all been breaking our backs non stop all week before the big night and were still doing so up until 4am the morning before the opening. At last minute we decided to rip up the carpet in the lounge upstairs to find a layer of lyno flooring we then had to rip up as well, we painted the floors again with a layer of oil base floor paint that realistically needs 2 days to dry….the night before. Ah well. We got in early only a few hours after we left actually, the floors were still wet, the art work needed to be hung as well as a list of other slight altercations. We decided to go out to Des Kellys and buy any odds and ends carpet we could get our hands on to sort out the velcro floor situation. Finally hung the work up until the very last minute when the doors were opened……
