You should ...What wonderful news. Congratulations!<br /><br />You should feel free to contact me privately with questions (if you have any), but this is my best piece of practical advice: If you intend on reading/writing after dark, bring light. The best decision I made was to buy a battery powered, gooseneck, clip on lamp. It proved so convenient I intended to leave it at the Cabin for future residents but by the time I left the batteries were worn down from steady use.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the kind words. September is a fine month to be there & I hope your stay at Dan's Cabin proves to be at least as productive and magical an experience for you as mine was for me.Frank J Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503493257701232692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453302926934823123.post-50807621925379779172014-04-24T21:36:12.498-05:002014-04-24T21:36:12.498-05:00I have really enjoyed your information that you sh...I have really enjoyed your information that you shared here. I was chosen for the AIR for the Porkies for the Sept. 2nd time slot. You have really helped me with information and inspiration about the stay. I'm really looking forward to my time at the cabin and exploring the Porkies.

Provided you submit only your very best work and always follow guidelines to a 'T', there's no call ever to equate a lack of acceptance for failure. Success in the arts is terribly unlikely without we place a high value on perseverance.<br /><br />I know some mighty fine artists who've knocked on the door of the Isle Royale A.I.R.P. for a long, long time and they've yet to get in. What's true is that none of us is privy to the specific considerations that go into any given selection process and ours is but to keep right on trying.<br /><br />My best wishes to you.Frank J Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503493257701232692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453302926934823123.post-4483021639039396892014-01-22T14:07:32.622-06:002014-01-22T14:07:32.622-06:00I'm also going to apply, even though I have ap...I'm also going to apply, even though I have applied to several AIR programs I have never been selected.

The Friends earn the name, the accommodations are warm & comfortable and the audience for the artist's presentation was as welcoming as any I've experienced. All that and you're nestled in one of the finest, most accessible stretches of wildness anywhere around the Basin. The best of luck to you and should it not happen this year, then by all means try, try again. It's a great gig and well worth the effort.Frank J Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503493257701232692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453302926934823123.post-22324639498188282542014-01-20T21:44:07.460-06:002014-01-20T21:44:07.460-06:00Beautiful post.

In a sense, the work's never been easier than it was while there. Time just expanded with observation, which led to opportunity and I took advantage of things in ways you simply can't, when not otherwise living in a place. That was such a gift.<br /><br />I figured the least I could do was share...<br />Frank J Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503493257701232692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453302926934823123.post-24077320391162223372013-03-07T19:17:55.133-06:002013-03-07T19:17:55.133-06:00This is a fine post and extra extraordinary photos...This is a fine post and extra extraordinary photos.
