There's Always Room for Jellied Trotters

Pam A is honored to host the first meeting of SANE's Season 19 home opener, pitting SANE against a tough, new opponent, the Gelatin Tinsters. I hope everyone has kept up their summer training regimen, 'cause it'll take a coordinated effort and a lot of conditioning to beat these guys. Betsey has sent out the poop sheet, and I hope we've all reviewed the films from their last three pre-season appearances. Don't get the impression that they're just going to lie there and let us paint 'em around, willy-nilly, I've got a feeling there'll be several surprises in store. We gotta give it our A game if we're going to tough it out for an entire season.

Things to bring and/or add to jellied trotters:

acrylic paints

paint brushes

pig's feet, cleaned and split in half

a brayer

a brayer rug

2 carrots, 1 onion

paintbrushes, makeup foam spears, smudgers, squeegees, bludgers, and other assorted shapes and props (shells, buttons, leaves, etc.) to redistribute the ink on the gelatin before brayering

packets of red Jell-O

paper - thick and/or thin,

plastic and/or marble surface to get ink onto the brayer

peppercorns, salt, sweet Hungarian paprika

Wear play clothes, or a smock. Think about where to put your masterpieces while they are drying.

Serve with pumpernickel, cold beer, salted cucumber slices and Cool Whip ambrosia. Serves 4-6.

SANE,

Slightly out of whack since 1993

Oh yeah, that's Tuesday, 11 October 7-ish at Pam A's place.
