Blinky Palermo: Retrospective 1964 - 1977

Blinky Palermo: Retrospective 1964 - 1977 closes on January 16th at LACMA. Please try to see the national touring show if you have not yet done so.  The exhibition provides an in-depth examination of the evolution of Palermo's aesthetic. This is the first retrospective of the work and not to be missed. Next stop: The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC.

Guten Mittwoch!

Guten Mittwoch (basically the working stiff's Friday) my dearest friends! Shannon, Tierney, Adam, et al and I met at (where else but) Union Pool last night for a few 2 for $5 domestic canned beers and a small gathering to bid adieu to our Brooklyn family for the long weekend.  We gave thanks for our health, friendships, Blinky Palermo, family, Brooklyn (!!), Tuesday nights out and most importantly for voodoo beer taps. Oh, and I thanked Monster Rally for a great new Color Sky 7" that just released.  The track Champagne is smothered in awesomeness. More on that soon...

Happy Thanksgiving eve!! I do hope you are whooping it up somewhere, anywhere with your nearest and dearests. XOXO, V.

Currently listening to White Ring's Roses- a haunted melodic lullaby; quite simply, a perfect sound.

Update: Shannon says I resemble the voodoo tap. I say she's a liar.
