DALI at LACMA - November 10 - CONFIRM NOW!

[Not Afraid]

We are members of LACMA and can get tickets for the Dali exhibition at LACMA (http://www.lacma.org/art/ExhibDali.aspx)before they go on sale to the general public (Oct. 1).

We're planning on getting tickets for Saturday, November 10. If anyone would like to join us, confirm by THIS SATURDAY that you will be joining us.

Tickets are $20.

Sorry for the short notice, but the deadline suddenly appeared.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Me me me me me! (And Tom!)

[mousepod]

...just another onionhead...

I'll check with the Mrs. and see if we can make it.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I keep reading this as Dali Lama - November 10 - CONFORM NOW!

[blueerica]

What time is it at?

[Not Afraid]

I won't know a time until I call the reservation office and see what's available. I'm probably going to try for mid-day.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Our entire social life is built around the mantra, "Work, no work, work, no work" as we play "spin the calendar" to see if it's a Saturday the CP works.


Survey sez......


No work!

Us us us us us!

[Snowflake]

:(

I'll be in Virginia on the 10th.

But the Murikami, zounds, that I'd love to see!

[madmonkeygirl]

Work and work and more work especially on a Saturday. Not only that but funds are limited due to a band's world tour coming up. Have fun everyone going if it were a weeknight i could possibly.

[mousepod]

We're in.

[innerSpaceman]

I'd like to go!

[Gemini Cricket]

I'll go.
:)

[Not Afraid]

Nice ass.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Dali Lama

[wendybeth]

Yeah, cute butt there, GC!

Do you guys have any idea how lucky you are to live in an area with so many cultural opportunities? We're lucky to get a 'Masters of Etch-A-Sketch' exhibit around here.

[Not Afraid]

Yes, but have you taken a look at my calendar lately? Sheesh!

[blueerica]

Not looking likely for me...

[Not Afraid]

We're on. 10 tickets total have been purchased.

[NirvanaMan]

Just bought my ticket...

I'm geeked.

[innerSpaceman]

What date, what time?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

What date, what time?See the OP.

[BarTopDancer]

No game. I think I'm in.

[Not Afraid]

Tickets have been purchased for the 1:00 entry time for:
Chris and Lisa
Heidi and Tom
Jesse and H
Greg and Jen
Steve
Brad

Both NM and BTD have purchased tickets separately and will be joining us.

If you want to join us but don't have a ticket, go to the LACMA web site and purchase an entry ticket.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm in. Very excited.

[NirvanaMan]

Must I wear pants to said exhibit?

[€uroMeinke]

Must I wear pants to said exhibit?

That or something else to hold your goldfish

[BarTopDancer]

Must I wear pants to said exhibit?

No. But people who don't understand your aversion to pants may have a problem with it. Namely the people who work there. And other patrons.
We can always throw water on you and then light a fire so you can explain how you need to dry off your pants while not wearing them.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm bringing a new victim friend of mine. She loves art.

[Not Afraid]

I would encourage all of you Dali-goers to also get tickets to the swanky Koop show that evening. The thread is here. (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=6878)

[BarTopDancer]

Great idea!

How far is that from the MOCA?
Is it open seating or do we need to buy in a block to all sit together?

[Not Afraid]

The venue is in Downtown - not terribly far from LACMA. (We're going to LACMA not MOCA). No seats - or at least reserved ones - at the event.

[BarTopDancer]

Oops. Got my museums confused.

I'd like to go, but I need to check with my friend. :)

[Ghoulish Delight]

For some reason Koop just doesn't strike a chord for me. Have fun!

[BarTopDancer]

Friend doesn't want to see Koop so we're going to do the museum and what-not.

What time/where are we meeting for the exhibit?

[innerSpaceman]

Ugh, zapp needs to get museum tix. Will they be available day of?

[BarTopDancer]

He may want to buy them online as they are scheduled by times.

[innerSpaceman]

Well, what is OUR time?

[BarTopDancer]

1pm

So, let's meet in the courtyard, near the ticket booths, at 12:45.

[BarTopDancer]

That was awesome. I'm so sorry we left without saying goodbye. My friend had to get home to take care of some stuff. :(

Really sorry I missed Koop too. That looked like an awesome time.

[Gemini Cricket]

I spaced on this completely. But I will, of course, pay for my ticket.

[mousepod]

What a fantastic swanking! I intend to go back and revisit the exhibition again during its run, but I don't think that it'll be the same without the presence of all the hip LoTers.

Some highlights for me:
- Destino. Disney meets Dali. And it works.
- All of the drawings from the unrealized Marx Brothers project. "Groucho Shiva" - flaming giraffes.
- The letters between Dali and Bunuel. Hysterical!

Thanks again to NA for making us aware of this and hooking us up with tix!

[NirvanaMan]

My faves were as follows:

-Destino
-That one with like the skeleton dudes on bicycles and the piano filled with water
- The elderly gentleman on the park bench browsing a playboy

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Why didn't I go? :(

[innerSpaceman]

Campire at Night Lit By Flaming Giraffes was my fave Dali piece at the exhibit.

I expected to see some great artwork on his collaboration with Disney on Destino ... but when I rounded the corner and saw DESTINO playing in front of my eyes, it was a surrealistic sensation worthy of everything Dali may have ever tried to convey. Definitely the highlight of the museum portion of the day.

Sigh, even with all the wonderful fun had there with swankers - and not to diminish it in any way - it was (as €uroMeinke so aptly put it) but an appetizer to the unexpected and fantabulous musical evening experience that was the Koop Koncert at the Barker Block Loft Wine Tasting Rooftop Swankland Extravaganza.


All in all though, a fun-filled day of art and music with friends, one I will never forget. That it was merely part of a four day festival of art, music, friends, nature and hedonism just boggles my mind.

[innerSpaceman]

Um. time to un-stickify this.

[€uroMeinke]

Yeah - I can do that

[Not Afraid]

LOL! I was wondering why I couldn't figure it out. You already did it.


Yes, folks, we DO live in the same house.

[Gemini Cricket]

Wait, is this for next November 10th?

[Not Afraid]

No, but I'd sure like to see it again before it closes.

[Gemini Cricket]

I'd still like to see it.
If only I remembered it.
D'oh.
:D

[katiesue]

I need to remember to go see this too.

[mousepod]

My parents were in town yesterday - I was going to take them to the Getty, but both of them said they'd rather see the Dali exhibit, so we went.

It's so worth going (even twice) - esp. if you can make it during the week when you have time to really wander the galleries without the crowds.

But according to my soft watch, time is running out... tick.. tick... tick
