Chicago Trip Bonuses

Having a few extra days in the big city Chicago we were able to meet up with alot of other friends in town for the concert and revisit some old and new places to eat. One of my longest and dearest friends Betsy G. lives on Lake Shore Dr. there and she had us over for "drunk brunch"  We first went to Angelinas near Halsted St. for unlimited Mimosa's and the best french toast i have ever had, before venturing back to her place for an definite memory making afternoon and evening.  Thank you Betsy!!

        So Pretty!!!!

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)

Deb Peterson Column Mention

I was mentioned in todays St.Louis Post Dispatch Deb Peterson column. It seems that Jeff K. rode my coatails into the same article. Love it! As you saw in the photos from the party below, it really was a good time. Thanks Bill D. for one more year of fun! Click on pic to enlarge!

Bill D. 50 Bash

Well it was a night of inspirational costumes to say the least. The furlowed TWA Girls made a splashing return to Bill D.s 50 Bday party held in and around his Ladue home. Even a 70s surprise disco in the garage set the evening into a twirl. Some pics from the night below. Enjoy! P.S. Im the tall one on the left :)

Saturday Sept.20 2008

Although i did spend most of the week and weekend painting diligently in my studio, working on all new paintings for my upcoming Jan. 10 exhibit at the PHD Gallery, i took abit of social time out saturday to attend a few parties etc.
This weekend was the yearly Balloon Glow in forest park, it is amazing to watch so many hot air balloons go up at once especially from the private party view i had at the gracious Veta and Janets magnificant Park East Tower condo. They host a Balloon Glow party there each year.

FEVER Fashion show

They had glamorous food and drinks and quite the fashionable place to be. Thank you Mel P !!!!

Bobby and Mikes

We ended the night by meeting up with everyone else and the continuation of Bobbys bday week. He and Mike G. threw a well attended bday bash at their house in Tower Grove. I think he may finally be done celebrating.

Happy BDay Bobbie and Robbie

Last night we were able to get everyone together in one place to celebrate our friends Bobbie and Robbies combined bdays. We had the private room upstairs at Terrene (One of my favorite CWE Restaurants) Of course with so many people sitting down to eat it was a 3 hour tour but the Terrene staff handled us perfectly and most important...i never had to wait for a cocktail! Enjoy some pics from the night.

Eric and Tonys bday party

After the movie we met up with other friends at one of the new houses in Botanical Hieghts. It is amazing how that area used to be so run down and like over night all new houses built.
Some party pics. Enjoy.

Bird Boys Birthday

Friday was a friend and fellow artists Birthday. He celebrated by having a large get together at his fashionable loft in downtown St.Louis. So many friends were able to attend it was great having everyone in one place for awhile.

Happy Holiday Weekend

Has been a great long weekend so far. Thurs a group of friends and I hosted "Thirst for life" @ the Atomic Cowboy. (They have the BEST cuban sandwish anywhere and their mini burgers yum!)It was so nice to see and catch up with fellow past gallery owners Dawn and Michel.
