Within The Secrets Surrounding the Life and Psychology of Ms. Augustine Greane there are hidden two-typewriters. Every day patrons visit the Museum and type to Wes and Ms. Augustine Greane about their inner most thoughts. At the end of each day the Museum guards [David, Joe, Danielle or Alex] collect these notes and hand them to me. I put them in a file to keep them safe until I next see Wes. These notes are some of the most beautiful things I have ever read. With Wes’ permission I will start posting some of these notes on this blog to hopefully remind you that everyone misses their inner child and is capable of being as vulnerable as we all sometimes feel. [I will type these exactly as they appear with spelling errors and letters missing. A lot of these errors are due to the use of a typewriter by those of us who are not born in the typewriter age. The mistakes are just further examples of the authors unguarded-self shining through.]

Beth Kwapis, Museum Coordinator Dream Title: Connoisseur of Human Folly Beth is: more voyeur than exhibitionist and is thus completely terrified to be sharing her thoughts via blog. That is no joke! I love mid-century Modern anything and I want to adopt 1-4 dachshunds with my husband (he remains ambivalent on the subject). Originally from the Detroit area, I am currently flirting with becoming a pescetarian because all one's protien needs can be met with the incredible sushi I'm discovering in San Diego. I basically snagged this job by coming into the Museum and begging the kind front desk staff to pass on my resume. I am not sure how I've managed to keep it. Carissa Baird, Museum Clerk Dream Title: Your Awesomeness Carissa is: an art lovin', fro wearin', burrito eatin', red wine drinkin', world travelin', movie watchin', girl with the small wrist tattoo. A political, sociological, feminist, (wannabe) artist, thinker, thrill-seeker, reader, and tiny dancer. A laid-back lady who left her heart in San Francisco--but came back with a college degree, and (future) pet whale in Antarctica--but he doesn't know I'm coming to claim him yet. I got this job because I have cool shoes, but I've kept it because I work with cool people. I'd rather be road trippin'. I eat boys and blogs for breakfast. Oh, and I love cliche's. GO CHARGERS!
