I think this fascinating thread suffers a little from a lack of visuals, so I wanted to share my experience of going to an art opening at Wacko's La Luz Gallery last night, where they served Absinthe. Both artists' work ( Jessica Joslin and Laurie Lipton) perfectly complements the Absinthe esthetic. Joslin's animal sculptures are the most amazing constructions of vintage hardware and articulated animal bones,

and Liptons poster size pencil drawings are aptly grouped under the title "Machine Punk":

The bar in the back courtyard was an ingenious steam punk affair with an ice water dispenser and a gas torch to light the sugar cubes:

They were serving three brands of Absinthe, I liked number 2 and 3 (St. George):

Mr Moto, being the authority on La Fee Verte here, what is your opinion/experience of these three brands?
