Hey, LA read­ers: if you’re look­ing for some­thing rad to do Sat­ur­day night you should head by Shot­gun Space for the open­ing of Nature Morte, a show exam­in­ing “humankind’s rela­tion­ship to the nat­ural envi­ron­ment,” fea­tur­ing the work of fab­u­lous pho­tog­ra­pher friend Alana Celii! I’ll be check­ing the sign-​​in book, and I don’t see you’re name in there you’re going to be in soo much trouble.

So I just tried to go see <a href=http://humbleartsfoundation.org/31.html”>31 Under 31, and the line to get in was lit­er­ally around the block. It’s freez­ing, so I didnt have it in me to tough it out, but I have to see this tonight so now that I’m warm and made my other stop, I’m going to brave the ele­ments and try again. But Jesus. So Many people!

Update: I man­aged to get into the show at about 11:00 pm and it was great. A seri­ous scene, packed with peo­ple but I man­aged to find Amy and Alana’s work amid the chaos.

So this would be the first time I’ve ever sold a print to some­one who wasn’t a friend or rel­a­tive. I’m glad that mile­stone could occur as part of the MWO launch, and the money will go to char­ity. Also, I didn’t real­ize how pro­fane my speech is until read­ing back. Sorry, Mom.
