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.

Day of the Dead , Arte Show

Again, I jumped on a greyhound bus and before you knew it, bam! i was in LA. This is the Dia de los Muertos/ Day of the Dead Art Show in Mendenhall Sobieski Gallery in Pasadena. oh yeah and I got there when the show ended...retarded.

some Catrinas serving some wine...

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

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...

Lets drink poison in our Garden of Souls

Anyways was art part of an art show back home at Self Help Graphics...here are some pics. Oh yeah and due to some technical difficulties I didnt get to photograph every one's work. Sorry. But good work ladies. And Thanks Melly for all your curatorial talents...
