Today is one of the busiest days I've seen around the OC Cultural Community Center (you know, the large building on Simpson Avenue that is home to us and a few other choice venues). It's about 81 degrees, tremendously sunny, and the parking lot is COMPLETELY full -- this renovation is an exciting process but it sure is a pain! With my arms wrapped around two Boardwalk Art Show banners for our upcoming event I approach the stairs that lead up into our building. The first thing I see are "wet floor" signs, and Lorraine (our director) and Alex (our volunteer) surrounded by bright peach paint ALL OVER the cement ground.
What had happened was that they intended to paint an old filing cabinet this pretty peachy color, and when the cart that was moving the piece of furniture snagged on one of the placks on the ground the can of paint took flight and went SPLAT right onto the ground.
But hey, we're an Arts Center? Instead of blood in our veins, we have paint (and other materials!). Because the whole facade of the building is going to change over the course of the next year, we made the best of what could have been (and was to some people going in and out of the library this afternoon) a rather unpleasant situation. Come sundown our little project will be finished... and the front of the "OCCCC" will look a little cheerier!
