“The Face of Change”
Last Saturday night I joined my two favorite fashion divas, otherwise known as The Boys, to a gallery opening of one of Joe’s friends. It didn’t take much to get me out. A night out with my favorite guys? YES! Drinks? Twist my arm! Cute Photographer-Single-Democrat? HELL YES!
This C.P.S.D was the very talented Eric Baillies. You can check out some of his amazing work here. Or HERE:
Eric took pictures at the Obama rally here in Madison (February 2008) during the campaign and then in Washington DC at the inauguration. His pictures were inspiring and different in that he didn’t just get shots of Obama, instead he captured the people who were moved by this amazing event. Hence the name of the exhibit, “The Face of Change.” If you are in the Madison area, his work will be displayed at Glass Nickel Pizza (on the east side) through July.
Eric’s art wasn’t the only thing that was dramatic and caught everyone’s eye that evening. Joe’s hair did too:
It was LARGE and in charge. It even managed to cut me off in some pictures. Later I figured out he was going for the Edward Cullen look that evening. Yes, very Robert Pattinson. Nice job, Joe.
After we drank enough of Eric’s beer and I oggled over his photography and his kick ass Obama belt,
The Boys, kidnapped me to a new gay nightclub called Out. They drove to the exhibit so really, I was their hostage. Besides it being late (Hey! I’m 93! Being out after 11 pm is LATE!) me trying desperately to get some loser guy off Jason by calling in Joe, and then subsequently getting called a “Fag Hag” by said Loser Guy; it was a very fun night.
But next time, I’m SO driving myself.
p.s. for all of you, including myself, who don’t know what a Fag Hag is, the definition, per the very reliable source of Wikipedia, is “…a gay slang phrase referring to a woman who either associates mostly or exclusively with gay and bisexual men, or has gay and bisexual men as close friends.“
Jason reassures me I NOT a Fag Hag. I just love my gays. So take that Lady!
The Busy B’s
Ben and I are always busy. It’s just who we are, what we do and luckily – we do it well. God forbid we are left home for a whole day with no plans. *SHUDDER!*
But even the Busy Pros that we are, this end of the school year/early summer is about to do us in. For the past two weeks straight we have had something going on every night during the week. We rarely get home before 8pm. I have fruit that I bought a week ago that still hasn’t been touched, the dishes in the sink are begging me to be cleaned and don’t even get me started on the laundry mountain upstairs.
Then there are the weekends.
RIDIC! ULOUS!
In fact this coming Saturday might be the end of Ben and I. On Saturday we have one Little League game, TWO soccer games, an end of the soccer year picnic and my nephew’s graduation party. Yes all these things will be very fun but a little breather in between 10:00 am – 10:00 pm wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Hopefully things will begin to calm down next week with soccer and school being over. I have so much I want to blog about! My lack of a descent post is, for once, not a case of writer’s block but instead just not enough time to sit down at the computer to type it all out.
But um, apparently I do have enough time at the computer to do this. Sorry Amy….
