:arrow: my friend at uni was putting on an art exhibition for students of the school to enter, and after seeing my backyard, he wanted me to display some of my trees...

with promises of free beer on the opening nyt, and a bottle of wine up for grabs for prizes, i decided to grab jermaine to help with the beers and we set up a 2/3 hardknocksbonsai pre-show show.

the photo's are crud, so i uploaded a video on vimeo...

...we got the peoples choice bottle of wine :D

Very nice work Aaron. But stop hoging the lime light what was in the rest of the displays? Was that the guy from scream there?

Aaron - very pleasing to see bonsai included in art exhibitions. All bonsai people see it as art, but it is a problem getting that message to the wider comunity. Well done.
