CALIFORNIA CALLING!

Join Ms. Jennifer Wofford and I for a salon style night of artspeak and sunset boulevard views. Ms. Wofford will screen her video work, "Motel Cucaracha" and and show some collaborative works done with Mail Order Brides before beginning the artist's talk. So come on over again to the Living Room next Saturday. The conversations will be artsy, the nuts will be salty, and the shots of Finlandia vodka will be free while supply lasts. There might even be some beer.
