[CIMC-work] apology requested from Polvo artist - please read

[Thomas Yun]

Hey, Garth,

yeah, I think it's more for Miguel (Polvo owner) than for the artist per
se.  I think he wants to be respectful towards the artist and her art. 
And, because we like Polvo for their politics and their cool space, I
think we should respect his respectfulness.

It was not the dirt piles.  It was the sand-drawings that were messed up. 
I rather liked them.

I'd like to put a up a razorwire line linking to a brief apology unless
anyone objects to that.  If that is objectionable, please can we come up
with something else concrete?

paz,
t
y
