Due to the fact that the Mercedes Pens is so much darn fun to drive and work on I decided to make some more additions for 2007
1) Add an additional 5,000 pens by June (Start of parade season) to bring me to a total of 10,000 pens at least by the next Art Car Fest in September of 2007
2) Paint the inside of the car and add some of those 5,000 pens
3) Create “City On A Hill” on the roof of the car. That’s a city scape made from giant pens created from PVC pipe.
Also
I want to continue to be available for other public events and speaking engagements.
My goal this year is to speak/appear at 40 events, lofty I know but its a way to give back to the community that has been so supportive of this great project.
My dream is to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams and visions for their life. The simple act of gluing pens on my Mercedes was the key to unlocking my dream. Obeying that inner voice and having the faith to believe that it was a worthy goal to pursue, got me to were I am today. I’ve always wanted to inspire make people laugh and this car opened the door to my dream.
The door first opened when I was asked to speak at a school after seeing my car parked next door where I worked. This March I get go back to the same school and share more about this awesome journey I have been privileged to embark upon.
I was also asked to MC a benefit Conscert to raise money for a women’s shelter here in town how cool is that?
