The Amazing Danny Mathewson at the Eno
July 2005 Durham, NC
____________________________________

When I grow up, I want to be Danny. 

Danny is the wildman scuptor of the Eno.  He builds the most fantastic animals and pieces of art out of scrap metal and pieces of discarded junk.  I'm talking about live-sized dinosaurs with heads and tails that move, live-sized cows and, well, whatever else his brain tells him to make.

He's a person we only see once a year but I'd really like to change that.  I mean, there's no way he's going to be able to bring the life-sized bracheosaur (large enough for people to sit inside) to the Eno one year.  That means the only way to see it is going to be to go out to his place.

Today was Day Three of the Eno and I'm beat, in despirate need of a bath and want nothing more than to eat some icecream and go to bed so I can go to work in the morning and not be a complete and total zombie.  Still, I told Danny (repeatedly) that I'd post the image of him tonight.  I don't think he believed me.

Oh, and Danny, the website on your business card doesn't exist.  (What a surprise.  Sheesh)
