Nothing beats seeing your x-boyfriend with his new girlfriend then waking up in Oakland

Now i must admit i had a hunch i was the gentleman tonight but lets face it: The City is 7x7 (miles square). So unless i intended to never go to another art show again this was pretty much unavoidable. And besides, I had two shoes to go to!

First show: The Dispossessed,
Monica Canilao Solo Show at Needles and Pens.



upclose...


bird prints and instillation



installation, people looking around





I ran into someone from work...kind off and was invited to a party in Oakland. Of course my first reaction was: hell no! I dont want to die! So I said maybe and headed to White Walls and the Shooting Gallery in the TL...


Second Show: Water Under the Bridge,
Sam Flores Solo Show @ White Walls Gallery

fucking beautiful but i must admit i'm not a fan of sunflowers...





"The Puppies"

I was ready to go home but it felt too early to go home. Of couple of phone calls, and many hours later...


How do I get home again? well at least I had my bike with me.

Labyrinth: You Know Its Time to Go When He Says Goodbye



Fun, fun, fun. I even helped out on this one. Fine, I just printed some labels for some of the art. Yes, laugh but I did have to run to kinkos after work.

There was so much art it was a bit overwhelming but whatever.

the following art was found at Red Ink Studios

First mistake of the night: not writing this artist name



Matt Furie



second mistake of the night: wearing these shoes



kottie paloma



third mistake of the night: the next morning



But whatever, September 16, 2006 was my one year anniversary of breaking my wrist bone and I was happy I survived September 15 broken bone free less. And, September 16 is Mexican Independence Day...
