February Mack Event
Posted by Allison Mack | Filed under MackEvents
Hey! Happy February!
It’s the month of love, or at least that’s what I equate February to, and so I think the Mack Event I would love to highlight is “Steal a kiss.” Find a kiss, whatever that kiss is, and post it on my site! I have seen some of the most amazing pictures of strangers kissing… I have come across some of the most beautiful lips that stained a napkin in a bar… So steal a kiss! Find one and post it!
Ciao, amore!

Haiku
Posted by Allison Mack | Filed under MackEvents
A little late– sorry, guys. Those of you who have a Juicy Peach calendar might have recognized I’m a little late announcing the next Mack Event! Now, I’m playing a bit of catch up and will announce it: the next celebratory event is to write a haiku on your bathroom wall! Remember writing haikus for your third grade poetry project? I certainly do, and they always seemed so peaceful and serene.
So I’m trying to bring some of that peace and calm into my somewhat insane existence right now. I thought, “Just focus on a haiku.” It’s nice to have something so simple to focus my manic energy on, you know? A simple 5-syllable line, then a 7-syllable line, then another 5-syllable line are all the poem requires!
So either write your own or someone else’s, but take a bit of time to enjoy the simplicity of this beautiful little poem. Oh, and the whole bathroom part is just to keep things interesting… And also because I’m a little tired of reading about the horrors of capitalism and that Johnny loves Mary on the bathroom walls of my favorite restaurants… But since I can’t exactly encourage you all to deface public property by writing on public bathroom walls, I figured I would suggest writing it on your own wall. but the point really is just to write it.
OK! Have fun, and photograph, scan, or just send in whatever you have written! I’ll submit mine ASAP, but here is an example to let you know what the darn poems look like in the first place.
Ciao,
Allison

Find a beautiful leaf and photograph someone you love holding it…
Posted by Allison Mack | Filed under MackEvents
My favorite season of the year is coming to a close, and I’m collecting as many of the precious leaves that have fallen as I possibly can. I’m always overwhelmed by the natural beauty that surrounds us, and I think that the unbelievable fire that radiates out of the fall leaves is astounding! So, let’s not let them disappear without taking the time to appreciate and document them. Find a leaf you think is awesome and combine it with a person you love!
To submit your photo, email it as an attachment to mackevents@allisonmack.com, and we’ll put it up in the gallery as soon as we can!!
