Although I had been wanting to go since I heard about it last week, I was also fairly sceptical. Why you ask? Well, 1) I&#8217;m not impressed by my own painting skills whatsoever, 2) I really don&#8217;t like some of the pictures they had painted in the past (when everyone paints the same one) and 3) I had no desire to spend an evening with a bunch of people who knew Adam somehow and wanted to hear all about me or us (a 90% change of that anywhere in Macon at all times ^^).<br \/>\nI was very pleasantly surprised however. Really the only bad thing about it was the fact that the glass of wine that was included in the ticket came in a plastic cup (somewhat ironic since we were painting wine glasses). Gotta love America. Anyhow &#8211; this Art&amp; Wine&#8217;s topic was bottle and glass painting &#8211; one of the reasons I wanted to do this exact one &#8211; because everyone can just do whatever they want. So fear no. 2 was unfounded.<br \/>\nAs we sat there and the other people (women really. There was only one other guy and he only drank, he didn&#8217;t paint ^^) started coming in, of course one of them had gone to school with Adam- luckily no conversation other than introductions happened. Out of 6 of the women surrounding us, 2 had graduated with Adam&#8217;s brother Brian &#8211; so he as the topic of conversation for a while. All I thought was: Wow &#8211; if I look and talk like that at 37, somebody please shoot me. They seem to have aged beyond reason already &#8211; I would have easily thought they&#8217;re all 45\/ 50+ (and not good-looking for that either). So as you can imagine, I had a great time with my diabolical thoughts :D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Da wir ja<\/strong> <strong>ganz offensichtlich noch nicht genug unternommen hatten in der (vor-)letzten Woche,<\/strong> <strong>waren Adam und ich auch noch in Macons kleinem Weinladen f\u00fcr deren monatliches Kunst&amp; Wein- Event. Obwohl ich seit ich im letzten Jahr das erste Mal davon geh\u00f6rt hatte einmal hingehen wollte, war ich ziemlich skeptisch. Warum?<br \/>\nTja, 1) Ich halte wenig von meinen eigenen Malk\u00fcnsten, 2) Ich fand einige der Bilder, die sie in der Vergangenheit gemalt haben wirklich scheu\u00dflich (wenn alle dasselbe gemalt hatten) und 3) Ich hatte wenig Lust darauf, einen Abend mit einem Haufen Leuten zu verbringen, die Adam irgendwie kannten und unbedingt alles \u00fcber mich und uns wissen wollen (in Macon herrscht zu jeder Zeit eine ca. 90%ige Change, dass das passiert).<br \/>\nIch war allerdings h\u00f6chst positiv \u00fcberrascht von der ganzen Veranstaltung. Das einzig wirklich Doofe war, dass das im Preis inbegriffene Glas Wein im Plastikglas kam (schon ironisch, wenn man dabei Weingl\u00e4ser bepinselt).<\/strong> <strong>Die Amis halt. Jedenfalls war das Bemalen von Weinflaschen und Gl\u00e4sern auf der Tagesordnung &#8211; ein Grund daf\u00fcr, warum ich unbedingt bei dem Juni-Event dabei sein wollte &#8211; denn jeder konnte diese bemalen, wie er\/sie wollte.<\/strong> <strong>Also war Angst Nummer 2 schonmal unbegr\u00fcndet.<br \/>\nW\u00e4hrend wir darauf warteten dass es losging<\/strong><strong>, kamen immer mehr andere Teilnehmerinnen (Adam war der einzige Mann der gemalt hat, ein anderer der da war hat nur getrunken ^^)<\/strong> <strong>und nat\u00fcrlich war eine davon mit Adam zur Schule gegangen &#8211; gl\u00fccklicherweise blieb es bei einer Vorstellungsrunde. Von den 6 Frauen, die um uns herum sa\u00dfen hatten 2 ihren Abschluss mit Adams Bruder<\/strong><strong>, also war der einige Zeit lang Thema.<\/strong> <strong>Ich sa\u00df w\u00e4hrenddessen da und dachte nur: Wow, wenn ich mit 37 so aussehe und rede hoffe ich, dass jemand mich erschie\u00dft<\/strong>. <strong>Sie schienen allesamt deutlich mehr gealtert zu sein als n\u00f6tig &#8211; wir h\u00e4tten sie alle locker auf Mitte 40\/ Anfang 50 gesch\u00e4tzt (und dann h\u00e4tten sie sich immer noch nicht gut gehalten). Wie ihr euch vorstellen k\u00f6nnt, hatte ich einen Heidenspa\u00df mit meinen diabolischen Gedanken :-D.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1534.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-519\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1534-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1534\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1534-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1534.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1535.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-520\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1535-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1535\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1535-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.anniwhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_1535.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAdam&#8217;s painting skills far surpass my own, but I think in the end he wasn&#8217;t very pleased with either bottle or glass.

He didn&#8217;t want to keep either for longer than a week &#8211; the bottle is still here, the glass has already been passed on to his Mom, lol.<br \/>\nOh yeah &#8211; the lady in the background was doing Micky and Minnie Mouse glasses (see third picture) &#8211; and here I thought she was painting the German flag.
