Canvas Kick-Off Party

Last night was the first official Canvas event of the semester. We invited anyone and everyone over to the Canvas house for free chili and live music. It was a really great night. Mike and I got to meet a lot of students that have been around and Canvas and students that were new. Every new person that we meet is just so friendly and polite. The music at the party was awesome and everyone enjoyed it. We called it a night at about 11:30 so we could come home and get some sleep to get up early to start more painting!

Tomorrow is Soup-Er Thursday which is free soup and bread and a game night at Canvas, plus a cook-out in the afternoon. (Can you tell free food is a big hit with university students?) We are hoping to make a lot of progress on our flat this weekend. We have a guy coming to do some plaster work tomorrow morning and then we will be able to paper and paint the walls and finish the bedroom. And we hope to finish the flooring in the living room by Sunday evening. That just leaves the kitchen and bathroom!

Finally getting a few pictures up... (Thanks to a few of the exchange students for taking pics!) Enjoy!


The Canvas House is in the center and our flat is on left. The exchange students live on the second levels of the houses on the right and left.




This is the artwork around the stage at Canvas. David Perez Jupin from Spain painted all of this and it is fantastic!
