Opening time again. I wasn't even going to mention it, 'cus it seemed so obvious, but Art Chicago and NEXT are this weekend. If you didn't know that by now, well, I don't know, there is a glitch in the communication. I don't know how many of you care, or are planning on going, but be sure you get in for free. There are a million ways, if you don't have one, drop me a line. Also, I didn't list every gallery in River North and West Loop that will be open Saturday, I only listed the ones that were having actual "openings" (ie the first reception for a show). You can see a full list of participants on Chicago Gallery News' website. Aside from those, there are still a shit-ton of openings. If you don't go out a see art this weekend (but you are reading this and will be in Chicago), that is just fucking lame. Sorry to berate those who take offense, but seriously. Ok, on to the list:

Opening This Weekend! (4/9-4/11)
Well hello again my darlings. Sorry about the lack of listing last week, I was out in the middle of the desert looking at wildflowers. I was woken up one morning by a scorpion (thankfully in a jar), and man, those things are cool looking. We turned him loose in the desert a couple hours later. Oh, the desert, it's awesome. I also discovered that my favorite decrepit old motel, the North Shore Yacht Club on the sunny (and stinky) shores of the Salton Sea, has been remodeled. SUCK! I also acquired a Brownie Beau from my husband's grandmother (it belonged to her aunt), and shot a roll of film with it. Firggin' AWESOME! But now I'm back, and ready to rock and roll.
