You may remember from previous invites I've posted (or from my sig) that my father is an artist. He's doing a new exhibit and the opening is next Friday, 11/19 from 7 to 9 pm at M2 Gallery in the Heights. Please come on out if you can make it. Why should I go to a show? I'm not looking to buy any art. That's okay. Art openings are great from cheap dates. They give you free hors d'oeuvres and free wine. You can walk around and wax intellectual and make your date think you're deeper than just beer and sports. And, it's a soft-sell, a no-sell really. If you want to buy, they'll sell to you, but there's no expectation. Is he any good? Of course. But, judge for yourself: http://gaffordstudios.com/default.aspx How do you dress for one of these things? Is it snooty? Houston is a dress-down kinda town. And, this is a Heights eclectic sort of gallery. I suggest wearing long pants, but otherwise there's no standard to comply with. How do I know who you are if I want to say Hi? I'll be the guy with the 4 young children. I'll probably arrive and leave early (because of said children). My real name is Sam, but you can call me JuanValdez if you want. I'm sold; how do I get there? Gallery M2 339 West 19th St, Houston TX 77008 (the old Heights theatre) 713-861-6070 www.gallerymsquared.com m2@gallerymsquared.com
My wife is now on the board of the Art League and they have an opening that I "have to attend" so sorry.
Just realized one of the artists participating in the Art League show is a friend of mine, Sarah Hazel. She also can't come to my father's opening.
I'm already going to the Art League on on Friday. A buddy of mine is displaying his artwork over there. Truth on art galleries being cheap date places though. FTW
