pARTy, or, As if I needed ANOTHER reason to love Brooklyn



Where else can you arrive at 9 p.m. to attend a dance party in the middle of a room full of expensive artwork, and take a break by heading downstairs to see the Ron Mueck exhibit? Or a huge selection of works by Walton Ford? Or a massive collection of photos by Annie Leibovitz? And all for free? The Brooklyn Museum is the place to be on the first saturday night of the month, and that's that.

Andrew, Rachel, Marie, Mingo, Brian, Brian's old college friend and I attended the festivities this weekend, and it was so much fun!

By the way, Ron Mueck's work (above is a picture I found online of one of his pieces being finished, and beneath that, a Walton Ford watercolor) is even more impressive (or creepy, depending on your style) as you think it might be. I found his strange-scale, perfect-replica people amazing.
