last half of a weekend


Andy Moon Wilson

Last weekend was the last big escape for my bride and I before our bundle of joy arrives. Friday night we drove up to Reston to see the great J.T. Kirkland show - I wrote about the show yesterday, but didn't mention a few details of the reception. We met J.T.'s mom, saw Bren again and finally met in person Andy Moon Wilson and the incomparable James Bailey. We drew on the whiteboard in the room with the great food. I gave them stickers, Andy gave me this rad doodle - the text reads:
They are specially programmed to disco dance. On the floor, their moves form a blur of precision in speed. You cannot defeat their funky technique.
Here's the back:



His drawing kung fu is mighty, all hail pen-power.

We left Reston for DC, and the next day, in the company of good pals, ate felafel and saw art at Connor (Kehinde Wiley, which I'll review later), G (where a lady talked to us and was nice and where we got free fortune cookies), Hemphill and Curator's Office (which was a tiny space with really cool stuff hung salon-style, including a kickass Tuttle print). Back at casa de Truly + Gwydion + Helen we had a dance party, then drove home.
