Artist Seeking Lawn Chair

i realize that this is a bit of a long shot, but: i'm wondering if anyone in the Davis area has one of those aluminum + plastic webbing lawn chairs that i could borrow for the cold winter months. i need one for a painting i'm working on, and they're shockingly hard to come by (dear god, they're listed as "vintage" on ebay!!!)... If anyone has one they wouldn't mind lending me for a few months, i'd be really grateful and would bake you something yummy for your trouble! P.S. i promise to return any lent chair sans paint. Thanks everyone!

I have one you could use! I'm no longer living in the Davis area, but I can meet you there to hand it off.

Send me an email to eclecticavatar@livejournal.com to arrange.

Thanks for the offer, esp. since you're not even in the area anymore! i'm going to go with the person below who lives right near me to make this easier on everyone, but if for some reason it doesn't work out, i'll shoot you an email. :)

I also have one that I could lend you. I live on Day Street. Let me know, rnewman@thecia.net .

What? They don't make those anymore????
They were an old standby of family camping trips...

they still make them, and they're not hard to find.....in June! :-)

The season must be part of the issue, b/c seriously? i went into this being all, "i'll just go grab one at Target..." And when that proved untenable, i was all, "i'll just go on Craigslist..." And when THAT also didn't work, i was all, "Ok, fine. Ebay then. Twist my arm."

And when ebay labeled them as "vintage" and charged more than i'd be willing to spend on aluminum and plastic, i decided to try here. :P

You get the idea...

the *extreme* levels of seasonal marketing these days drive me batty sometimes.

I have a couple if you want to do a group portrait.

Please post the finished painting!!

Awesome, thanks for the head's up! i'll keep you in mind if for some reason i end up needing more than one :)

Hi! I'm the guy whose chair you borrowed. Can I see the piece of art that you produced from it sometime? Thanks.
