madbakerFriday the wife and I drove over to Berkeley for her senior art show. No, that doesn't mean a series of "Depends" on the wall!
About a dozen seniors from the printing department had works up. The wife, who was exhibiting a book, put it in an enclosed case - discretion being the better part of valor, when there is food and beer about.
Oh yeah - beer. The other seniors being 21-22, they bought two kegs. Of Pabst. Mmmmm. We had to chip in though, so I had a couple of beers anyway. Doesn't make me miss that era of my life.
The show was good. Many different printed works - etchings, handmade paper, lithographs, and more that I don't know the names of. It started slow; but by the time we left at 8:30, there was a good crowd. College students + free beer = attendance.
(The wife will have a solo show in October, I think it is. I'll publicize it closer to the actual date.)
The funniest moment: Berkeley's finest showing up across the street on a call. The dozen or so of us who were there were standing outside; all the 20-somethings with beer immediately faded into the building. I stayed outside, 'cause, well, yeah I was violating the open container law, but they weren't heading our direction and I'm not paranoid about that sort of thing. Anymore.
Then last night drove to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
farmount's party. Good time, even if it was a long way to drive for a couple of hours of hanging out. But since I feel somewhat isolated here in S.F. it was worthwhile. Also met some LJ-names I had read but not seen in person - selkiediver, firehair28, and some others whom I'm not remembering right now.
