Quick Update, or, hmmmm... I spent money

So, short post, on account of the fact that it's 1:21 in the morning. Just wanted to say, real quickly, that I achieve slumber this evening a happy man. A week of almost too much visual art has passed, and I'm okay with it. On Tuesday, at the Evening With The Arts, I got two pieces of cool art for under $100. One of which is a super cool commentary on terror attacks (from the 1960's).

At Art See on Thursday, I saw a piece of art that I loved, and I came home and told James, "I love this piece, but I'll never get it."

Well, I got it. Tonight - at the ND Museum of Art's Silent Auction and Benefit Dinner. It is sitting next to me. It's called "Talking Shit," and I think it's brilliant.

Though it was a battle, right to the end, I won, and really -- that's all that matters, right?

Even without the "positive blessings," an evening of hanging with some friends always is fun. At the end of the event, I won the raffle, which was an Adam Kemp mirror made out of the remains of wood from the building in which I live, which is also super cool.

Plus I won our table centerpiece - so I came home with three new pieces of art tonight, five total this week. That's not a bad haul. I'll talk more about the auction itself another time, but for now - this is where I sign off, happy about the art options in town, and greet an evening of wonderful rest. Happy rest. A good night's rest...Though, I can hear James downstairs having issue with the wine he drank tonight. It doesn't sound pretty. I think I'll take pictures. Then again, no.

Next week - the 14th - Club Red. See culturepulse.org for details.

I'm out.
