yesterday i left LA after the toy show because i had a dinner date in los gatos, 6 hours away, with sheryl. i was gonna go see the camille rose garcia show and maybe one at the MOCA as well, but i had a dinner date with sheryl, so i didn't. truth be told i was LA'd out so, but those art shows woulda been cool...but, like i said, i had made plans with sheryl for dinner. and since the last time i was there a couple of weeks ago and it didn't work out, now would be better. no boyfriend around-not that i care, and we could have a late dinner. so i left LA-because i had a dinner date with sheryl.
ariund salinas, CA i called her to see what the deal was and i got..."oh, didn't you get my e.mail...?" so...lomg story short, i no longer had a dinner date with sheryl. boyfriend coming into los gatos...blah, blah, blah....i love sheryl but i was a little choked...whatever..onward. i dined at adale and had the famous el presidente and it was better than ever...i was gonna blog it up but the coffee shop in los gatos closes at 6 pm...what the fuck? so i took that as a sign to get the hell outta there...
i headed into SF to take a look-through the window of upper playground-their galley actually, at the blaine fontana show...looked good but i was tired and needed to sleep and i didn't want to sleep in SF...so...i got outta there and headed to the I-5...slept somewhere.....got up at 4 a.m. and got going.
pulled over at 5 a.m. for a nap...i was stunned....
got back up at 6:30 a.m. and got going for real this time...i wanted to make it to an art show at upper playground in portland that featured a bunch of portland artists...when i finally got here/there, the gallery was or is closed on mondays...but the guy who runs the store recognized me and let me have a look...he may as well have been saying to me, "get ready to open yer wallet dude..."...
and i did...
i bought three paintings by a guy named corey smith. a painter/artist/pro snowboarder...very warhol/fairey kind of stuff. except they did multiples of people who are famous-generally-for doing something. he does them of people who are famous for nothing...and i could care less about paris hilton but..when you see these side by side...i love them. there are ten in the series. i bought three. they are approx. 3' x 3'. i know what some of you are thinking...i do. but just wait. wait until they're up in the apartment. they are stunning. heavy heavy laquer and stark. i dunno.
so now i'm done i think...i need a nap perhaps, then homeward...
good times...
