Two friends are getting married tomorrow and to celebrate the bride, the bride's friends requested that everyone create some sort of prayer (poem, collage, crocheted robot, whatever) for the couple. This would then be collected into an audio book format and distributed to the bride.

I had major difficulties coming up with an idea. First I thought - I could use a photograph of one of our trips together.  However, the couple has so much cool arty swagg in their house, I doubted whether my photo would be able to have any artistic merit.  My mind raced, video montage/painting of photo/crocheted animal - all things that would be really impossible to do in 10 days, 9 days 8 days - the days dwindling as I could not make up my mind what to do.   Then I thought ahh - audio piece - this would incorporate our enjoyment and radiolab and savage love podcasts as well as audio from really bad vacation video.   Unfortunately, my vacation video is on a harddrive with a bizarre port and I was too exhausted to walk the extra two blocks to techserve today and find an appropriate cable.  Also I think it was a bit ambitious as well to be able to do create in audio piece in 2 days.

There I sat tonight, watching a Taiwanese dance troup at bam thinking in the back of my mind I have nothing crafty or creative to offer this couple as a blessing.  But then I remembered it was a blessing! And I thought - ah ha! I am going to do a blessing mashup.  It is going to combine algorithmic poetry with sincere blessing.  I am excited.
