A pretty good old friend of mine opened an art gallery in Venice a week or two ago. it was a packed opening. He sude to work at the Saloon and somehow got Buweiser to sponsor it and thus provide free beer. The second day the gallery was open Stacy Peralta cruised by. Last weekend he showed a Pink Floyd Film and soon he is supposed to do a skate oriented show with Jeff Ho. For more info go to cavegallery.net

The art is of a sensuous nature
