Oh wow, thanks everybody, I'm glad you likey! The opening was well attended, and everybody got a buzz out of the energy.

It was great to have so many artists from the show in attendance, plus have many artists that were not in it come and visit, also.
The Martini Kings were the perfect cultivate sound track for the evening, and Truus' Musica Exotica added that avantgarde touch.

I was thrilled to have author Alan Hess attend, he (together with Leroy) is one of my spiritual forefathers, his book "Googie" (1985) got me and many of my friends into Midcentury Modern architecture, and coined the term:


Here's Alan chatting with my wife Naomi, another one of his fans. I got to introduce Alan to Bosko, whose new works he really liked:

Here are two wild and crazy guys in their favorite artists' shirts - (whose works were also IN the show):

And here a close photo of Leroy's amazing wood collage!

He still got it!
