Off-White Delight

The Chicago expo apartment tour was very informative and interesting. The crowd that first got on the bus was mostly students but there were a few randoms that seemed to be there by mistake. Definitely did not see any of the fancy art people I was anticipating being on the tour, but I did end up meeting some cool people and making some new friends. The first gallery was interesting. The space was clean and white, very convincing.

The second gallery was more enjoyable, they had a sweet-ass dog and a denim jacket that I should have bought. The third gallery was the one in Griffith park I believe. It was the one with the tiki bar and the wall with the smurf prints. I went up the stairs to where they had the flat-screen playing the youtube clips on a mental disorder where you cry and laugh uncontrollably. I laid down on the of the yoga mats they had there and watched it for about five minuets. There was a lit candle up there which made it very relaxing. I went back down the stairs and sat at the bar where a bearded artist man did an index card for my pocket gallery.

From there, we went to the place that had the awning covered in vynal and cake. There was a sweeet knife on the wall downstairs that had a highlighter yellow spandex(?) sheath sewn around the blade. I wanted to buy it from the lady who's house we were at.

ACRE gallery was fun, I had my old Core teacher, John, draw something (Cat kissing a penis) for my collection.

From there we continued to the after parties:

On the way to the James Hotel, the newspaper lady/our tour guide, Dana, was tipsy enough to inadvertently inform (I assume) Nick and (definitely) me what color undergarments she was wearing that evening (off-white).
