Vik (science expert) and Gary (photographer/philosopher) told me about two very different art & food events today.
As it turned out, they’re unable to go, so I need to cover for them by having a double serving (of art as well as food).
The first was the Aloha Festival. Hawaiian dancing and barbecue. Combine those two things, and it’s impossible not to have fun.
The dancers’ backsides are shaking in ways that would cause certain injury to most people I know.
The food’s excellent, but I wasn’t able to try all of it.
The next event, over near Berkeley, is an art gallery premiere, and a fundraiser for Unicef. The artist I’ve come to see is Siddhartha Deb. I knew I’d like his work, but I wasn’t prepared for the Aspara of Rice.
I’m seriously drawn to the concept of a sensuous spirit rising from the steam of a household appliance. Makes me want to cook more. Gary’s right. This was a good idea.
Random assertion: If you’re looking for a deity or a muse, don’t give up. You may not find her, but she’ll certainly find you.
