Crippled Art Crawl

One of my favorite Funemployment past times is the Gallery Opening. Here's why.

1. Free Art.
2. Free Drinks.

If you're a girl in LA it's not that hard to score a free drink, but the key is to do it in an environment that doesn't make you feel like you're selling your soul along with your vodka soda.

For our first post, your bloggers, Nora and Noelle, decided to go on a little art walk. Our first stop was Kinkead Gallery for the Heather Cantrell (pictured right) show. UNFORTUNATELY, Noelle had misread the date of the show and after arriving in Culver City wearing heels at 6pm, the gallery was shut.

Not a problem, we decided to make our way to another show, guaranteed to be fabulous in terms of the turn out if not the art. However when we got there, more bad news. A line was already forming, cute boys were queued up for the taking. We could see the wine bottles splayed out through the window. Unfortunately, we could also see one of our ex boyfriends so without missing a beat we jumped in the car, slammed on the gas. Because people, free drinks are never worth a run in with an ex. Free gold is barely worth it.

So our art walk had slowed to a limp and the a crawl. What to do? Sometimes you face the facts 'It's 7pm, I'm wearing heels, and I have absolutely nothing to do.' That's when you say screw Funemployment and take yourself out for Thai food and $9 martini's at the local hole. Because there's a time and place for everything and that night was destined to cost about 30 bucks a piece.

So what? My first post was a failure. I've failed at more things than you've even tried. But stay tuned because there are good shows coming up next week and I'll post all the details in plenty of time to attend.

xoxo, Noelle
