Art, thy name is mine I should've been named Art. I totally would have called this column "Art on Art" or just "It's Art!" My grandpa is an Art: Arthur Wallace Woodhouse. His son (my uncle) is Art: Arthur Craig Woodhouse. And his son is Art: Arthur Jacob Woodhouse. I was the first born of my generation in my family, but since my mom wasn't a dude, I (and every other guy I grew up with) got named after a movie with Argonauts.

Artober, the lost month "What the hell is Artoberfest?" When I bring up the upcoming month-long celebration of Chico arts to anyone not involved in a local arts organization, that's the response I often get. Ask no more, my friends, because www.artoberfest.org is now live. Go see, and learn.
