Atrium Art Gallery Opening

Atrium Gallery had its grand opening reception featuring the art of New York artist Christopher Tanner. He actually did a drag performance as part of the show.  CWE area was very busy with a block party type atmosphere with all the local galleries and shops having something going on at the same time. It brought a renewed street traffic the area hadn't seen in a while. A lot of my friends and many other people seemed to have a great time for sure. (Click on a pic to enlarge)

9/11

As with many of you, 9/11 will forever be etched in your memories. Where were you? What you were doing.
I was vacationing in the Cayman Islands with my friend Bob D. at the time so will never forget. Although i had been there a few days before as you may remember all planes were grounded for that week. We luckily were able to fly home as scheduled once the airspace was reopened. The Pentagon part of that day is often thought about after the World Trade Center, as an artist i find the memorial built and dedicated today is amazing. 184 stainless steel benches in memory of each that died there.

GO GOs

Definitely going down memory lane tonight. The Go Gos girl band returns to the stage here in stlous.
Dean V. Pete J. Mike.L and I are going to see them tonight (Friday Sept. 5 2008). Nothing compares to my love for Madonna :) but i used to be obsessed with the Go Gos even ending up meeting them in person at a art exhibit i was have in Austin TX years ago thanks to my old friend and patron Roanna V. Hope they are just as good tonight as they were back in the day lol. I will let you know how it was of course!

(The Go-Go's became one of the first female bands to emerge in the 70s and 80s. They were held in high public regard because they were the first female band not controlled by any male influences. They had many hits that are still played on today's radio stations, including 'We Got the Beat', 'Our Lips Are Sealed', 'Vacation', and 'Head Over Heels'. The girls were not only a part of the new wave pop outlook, but also an important part of the punk rock scene.)

Enjoying a bite to eat at ASIA after the concert.
