Yes, every year I complain about the crowds, but every year I go. I can’t help it. It’s a good time – perfect opportunity to people watch, view art, hang with friends, and enjoy cheap wine from plastic glasses.
Art for Art’s Sake is this Saturday, October 1st from 6pm to 9pm. DJ Brice Nice will be on hand.
While the event is mainly held in the Warehouse District on Julia Street (400 to 600 block), there are also many participating galleries citywide and on Magazine Street. I tend to stick to Julia Street and hit all the galleries – especially my 3 favorites:
Arthur Roger on 432-434 Julia Street, who is showing photography and sculptural work by John Waters. I had a chance to go to a private showing and talk of his work about 8 to 10 years ago – and I think I had this permanent laughing-fascinated look plastered to my face the entire time.
LeMieux on 332 Julia Street.
Soren Christensen on 400 Julia Street.

Yes, I have a comment: Why aren’t there more pics of me in this blog post?
I am saving them for my blog that is devoted strictly to the wonders that is Chessa Rae!!!
