American Graffiti

This past Saturday I went to Miss Pixies for an American Graffiti exhibit I had read about on the Washington Express, the newspaper provided free of charge as I get on to the metro each day. I have to say I was expecting more of an exhibit. If you ask me, Miss Pixies is a glorified Good Will and auction house combined into one. To get to the exhibit I had to meander to the back of the store, and through a door that lead to a room that most closely resembles a garages.
There was some cool art.

Here are some LP's

The next pieces were done on pieces of metal taken from the bottom of light posts around the city.
Here is one of the last shots I was able to take before the batteries on my camera died. It is a nightstand with some design across two panels of faux wood.

Later in the evening I went to Cafe Atlantico for rum weekend with Abbey, a friend of mine from the study abroad program. I did not write the names of the rum down because I thought they would have the menu online, but they do not. Please know they smelled like vanilla, and sugar cane. (Hat tip to Anjan for helping me pick one out).

  1. Can find art in the most unexpected places...
    Grownups are obsolete-- so what happens when you 'grow up' are you obsolete? or is it obsolete to grow up?
