That when I told the girl I’ve been dating for like a year that I was going down to Baltimore for Meow Meow, the first thing she said was, “Is Brad Troemel going to be there?”

Listen, Brad. Fuck you.

There I said it.

Peter Voelker put on a pretty terrific show yesterday. His Meow Meow house gallery was packed wall to wall with people at the peak of Shake It to the Ground last night and I think it’s safe to say a good time was had by all.

I got to meet a whole bunch of photo friends from the interweb including Pete (of course), Andrew, Coley and Daniel. But the list goes on and on.  think the Baltimore City Paper may have popped by for a visit.

The whole thing was a resounding success and has inspired me to do something along the same lines. I hereby announce the creation of Secret Gallery. Shh, don’t tell.

From today’s New York Times:

No matter how much they try to kill it, the Polaroid is still beloved by art stars and amateurs alike. Tonight, as part of the party crew LVHRD’s ongoing cultural battles, three artists — Jonathan Harris, whose work is currently hanging in MoMA; Joseph O.

I started twittering recently, or trying to twitter more accurately… I tweet even less than I post things here. But the microblogging phenomenon is pretty interesting. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ll explain. Tweets are one-word blog posts to keep your peeps updated as to what you’re doing or to share some brilliant wisdom. Choire Sicha of Gawker fame has got the twitter thing down to pretty much an art.

The photo friends I’ve managed to locate on Twitter thus are the ubiquitous Jen Bekman of course, David Michael Murphy, Kate Bingaman, Younga Park and Raul Gutizerrez. There are plenty of others on there too though, like Snoop Dogg and Barack Obama. You know– we’re all friends.

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.
