Jose Parla: Walls, Diaries, and Paintings at the Bruce Wolkowitz Gallery


Show is up til 4/16. Worth a long look to decipher the canvases and the walls that he transformed remind old-school types of the beauty of decay/neglect.

Sneakercon Invades DC

Not gonna be able to get down there for this one. Funny thing is that Adidas is the official sponsor. These things are always a Nike/Jordan lovefest. I personally am unbiased but never was down with the Af1/Air Jordans obsessed freaks/geeks.

Grace Jones 'Nightclubbing'




Went to the Leica Gallery to see WOWE's photo exhibit of New York Nightlife in the '80s. One that caught my eye was William Burroughs and a brunette Madonna at the Canal Bar I think. Print was $2000 though...worth a look especially if you were around then. Came outside and my man Snoop just picked out some duds at OMG of all places. I wonder if he was headin' to this church around my way to reflect on Biggie...
