Katonah Museum Preview party/dinner

[avad]

Saturday we drove on up to Katonah for the preview party and dinner in honor of the I ♥ the Burbs show at the Museum. Sippin on a lil emergency mohito bottle for my nerves like a baby. ew that stuff is strong. But wow. I'm pleased as punch with the show.I've never been in a show like this....they transformed the space to support the theme and artworks and it looked amAzing!Walls shaped like houses!! My tondo was Right at the entrance- the very first thing you see (squeee!) and Happy Cells was on the wall next to the door...looking better than it ever has because of the brilliant lighting (all the glitter was sparkling and magical!). I feel...I don't know...like some sort of 'adult' professional artist lol. There's even a catalog for $25. (!!) There was music and fancysnacks and cocktails...a special drink even called the Suburban ha!!!! I loved the show, so many amazing pieces...and I met and talked with a few of the other artists: Sara McKenzie was a sweetheart, and Robert Selwyn and Barbara Griffiths and Tom Gormally and his wife Malayka..(I'll fill this in when I find that lil notebook, my memory's shot). The dinner was at the trustee's house...which was um...very impressive. Paella and wine and art collection and crazy modern furniture...Two dogs made my allergies act up unfortunately, after a while I couldn't really breathe. The drive back was a bit scary with the fog and dark icing roads.

Today, Sunday, we had planned to drive all the way back up there for the public opening and panel discussion...but the weather was crap (snow and ice) and we just wouldn't have made it in time for anything if we made it at all. WIsh I could've been there...and I'm so bummed that I don't have pictures. (Planned to take them today). Hopefully we'll get to go up there again at some point...or maybe send someone to take some good pics.*sigh* If you're anywhere around there- please go see so I know it's not a dream!!:)
