Gallery hops

OK, as promised here is a little bit more of an upbeat post. One of the best things that NYC offers is a lot of good, cheap entertainment and fun. One of the most fun things to do, in my mind, is to head down to all the galleries during their openings and get drunk on free wine and beer while looking at art. And interacting with all the good looking people who tend to go to these things. Often times I like to go to "gallery hops", organized by my friend Evan, where we jump (get it, hop?) from one gallery to another, trying to see as much as possible and get as drunk as possible (or at least I do.) He usually holds them on most Thursdays. To get some more information, you can check out his website, Hipster Travel.

Last Thursday, we started out in Chelsea, then made our way down to some gallery in the Lower East Side, which had a party that went till about midnight, then finished up at Dark Room. I must say I was already half way gone by the time we got to the LES, and I have no idea what happened at Dark Room. I remember arranging a hookup between a lesbian and a bi-sexual girl. There were some vibes, but they said they wouldn't do anything publicly just for male gratification. Maybe something happened in the bathroom, you can never tell.

Either way, the gallery hops are always a good time. Nothing like having a night full of pretentious psuedo-intellectual art talk, fueled by orgies of alcohol and topped off by finding yourself passed out in the bathroom, your shirt ripped wide open, and your pants unbuttoned, like this: Redacted.

P.S.- if you find this to be stupid, offensive and/or in poor taste, please check out the cover of this week's New York magazine (featuring Dash Snow, see below.) Apparently these are "Warhol's Children" Here, just for good measure, here's an enlargement with better clarity:

This is a picture of Dash Snow with his other buddy artists. Whatever it takes to become a "downtown legend" I guess.
