This piece
is interesting. It really speaks of the essence of Interactive Arts. Tina
stated as they are standing in front of Sara Nuytemans work Touching
thoughts.

Yeah, talk
about stretching the limits of reality. It really looks like the person on TV
that blows on the water. Bette replied as shes taking shots of the piece.

So, are
you in school or working? Tina casually asked.

I go to
SFU and I do freelance photography and work part-time at the schools library.

Convenient.
Dont have to commute too much for work. Tina mused.

How bout
you? Bette asked while she keeps an eye for potential shots.

Oh, I go
to SFU too and I work part-time at the Vancouver Public Library. Its fun but
commuting can be a *****.

Yeah, talk
to me about it. Most of my courses are up on the Burnaby Mountain or in Surrey and I live downtown Bette added.

Where do
you live? Tina asked while she hovers around the site in case anyone needs
her.

I live at
Robson on Denman. Its nice. I have the harbours view to wake up to. Loved the
beach too and everything is close by.

Nice place
you got there.

Yeah, sure
is. What about you? Where do you live?

I live at Venables on Commercial Drive. Its pretty central too. Tina replied.

I go to
Caf Deux Soleil for poetry nights. Bette stated as she is taking a shot of
the WHISPER group demonstrating their piece.

Hmm
really? I do too but Ive never seen you around. Sometimes my boyfriend and his
band play there when theyre in town.

I have
only been there twice. Besides Im new to this city. Bette casually replied.

You seem
to know your way around.

I have a
friend here. She shows me the places I need to know in town and besides, Vancouver isnt that hard to figure out when
you have internet and a map in hand.

True.

Do you
want to go to the poetry night sometime then? Tina asked.

Id love
to. Bette smiled.

Nine oclock came fast. Tina began instructing
the rest of the volunteer crew to notify the crowd that the event is closing
for the evening. The crowd were reluctant to go. Many artists friends linger
to chat. Tina found Camilla and asked her what would be the best way to
discreetly notify the crowd that tonights event is over and everyone wants to
go home.
