Savannah Side Quest: Art Show at Cedar House Gallery

1 Comment

One of the great advantages of knowing April is that she has a bead on the bustling art scene in Savannah. We went to see an opening at Cedar House Gallery before an unbelievable dinner at Elizabeth on 37th.

The opening was packed and fun to wander around in.

But dinner? Out of this world.

DJ Williams Back Home in RVA

Leave a comment

Well, not really back home. DJ Williams now lives in Colorado. But his roots are in Richmond.

We went to see DJ perform at Anytime Beer Company. Honestly, though the brewery might be awesome, we’re just not beer people. In fact, before the show was on, we spent some time next door at the Lion’s Den Cigar Bar and had way more fun. But hot damn is DJ Williams excellent and the band is tight.

We were on a secret scouting mission for our up coming 5/25/25 nuptials. So glad he is involved in the plan!

Of course there was xmas music. Obligatory.

I mean, what’s the matter with that?

The parties in RVA were quite fun as was the rest of our visit.

The Art Institute of Chicago Remains Incredible

More art in Chicago, according to plan. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the best art museums in the world.

The Chagall stained glass is, alone, worth the price of admission.

America, what has become of you?

But there’s lots more.

Chicago, Chicago, It’s my kind of town.

MCA Chicago: Our Favorite Stairway

We came to Chicago for art, and so art it was. On Sunday after arrival we had an excellent brunch at Marisol and then headed up to steep in the collection at the MCA.

No visit to the MCA is complete without a visit to the best stairway on the planet.

Canvasing for Harris in North Carolina

We tried our damndest.  The McGraw clan convened in western North Carolina outside of Black Mountain to get out the vote in a swing state.  But it was not to be.

Seeing the family was a delight.  Watching the election results was a disaster.

Lets hope the United States survives four more years of the worst President in the history of our democracy.

Hyde Park on a Rainy Day

We decided to walk from Marylebone to see the Market at Portabello Road. It was a long walk, but filled with real London sights. The market itself seems more suited to Hollywoood movie watchers than to us. But we’re glad we went.

Iceberg?

Or swan?
