FINALLY, the #exhibit I’ve been working on—#ConclaveCity—went live; this past weekend at #theMasonic, an audience of #Freemasons saw it, and select #FriendsAndRelations were able to stop by during a brief public viewing.

Those of you who did visit; I’m so grateful, and sincerely touched by the time and effort you took to come to my weird little show. Thank you all so, so much. I’m also inexpressibly grateful to the Grand Lodge of California and Joe Evans (the museum manager) for letting me assist with and contribute to this project.

We explored the Grand Lodge’s collection, and found objects that told an interesting story: about a group of distinguished Masons, and two conventions they held here in SF in 1883 and 1904. We showed #antique #uniforms, #ephemera and souvenirs from those events.

Not much #swordcontent, but it was exciting, challenging and exhausting, and it only took like a year and a half to develop. Now I have to write it up, file a mountain of paperwork, and #GTFO of #GradSchool. If you have questions about the exhibit or want to see more photos of anything, I’ll do my best to accommodate. An online version will be up soon. Thanks again!
