Bubbles Galore

I hope everyone took advantage of the free museums today. I was hunkered down at Laguna Gloria being a volunteer for the day, so my only experience is of bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles. The house museum itself is lovely, with stunningly beautiful grounds that overlook the river and fetch a nice breeze off the water; however, in 100 degree temperatures, even a breeze is no relief. I was a ball...

Architecture & Arthouse

12:45 AM Posted by Unknown ,
Time for a slightly embarrassing revelation: This past Friday was my first time to see the inside of Arthouse since its renovation. I know! I know! I am a bad art lover. I mean, sure, I've driven by it, walked by it, and even paused to inspect the exterior. But I had not gone inside it. I can now say that I'm thoroughly impressed.

11:40 PM Posted by Unknown , ,
"Anxiety of Photography" opened tonight @ Arthouse. Initial reaction from yours truly, a volunteer docent: I love openings of exhibits at museums.

I've found my experience of the art itself is changed by the difference...
