Saturday
What a long day.... I went to the Huge Burney tent sale at the Santa Monica hanger. It was filled with shallow people buying thing with expensive name brands. Andy and I were in the mist of this hanger full of expensive clothes. They did not have dressing room, so many people were just changing and trying things on. It was ridiculous. I saw these real nice pants but I got punked. It had a regular price tag so I asked what the mark down was. The woman who worked there said "it was accidently put here by mistake" Apparently the pants were from the regular store and it did not belong there. She took it way. I was mad. I got over it. I got over it thanks to all these chicks were changing in front of everyone. No shame. Some girls had nothiong tobe ashamed about. They were fine!!!
After the Barneys fiasco, Andy and I went to J. Paul Getty museum. They had the Dorothea Lange exhibition. It was a treat. Some really great black and white documentary photographs. Saw some impressionist paintings. They had a bunch of Renoir, bunch of Cezanne, one Van Gogh, and etc... They also had this silly exhibition of video art called "passion". Basically they video taped different people's facial expressions with different emotions. It was intersting but nothiong that I would really recommend. I feel that art only happens when one does not really know what they are trying to achieve. They create as they go. But when one is trying to be "artistic", usually it does not really work for me. Thay is what I felt about the the whole video presentation. But all in all, the Getty museum is a treat. I just appreciate the architecture of the place. What a beatiful place. For andy it was 2 days in a row that he went. It was really something else for me to see the magnificent views Getty's offered. We had soondooboo afterwards at K-town. It was good. It was a good day.
Getty museum is funny. They have a tram to get to the museum if you park your car at the museum. If the Parking lot is full, you can park your car 2 miles down and you can take the shuttle. While we were in line to go up, we were talking to this German girl and a dufus who lived in Germany for a while. Basically I was making fun of the Germans and the girl was joining us. Her views were actually really honest. She had no problems making fun of the Germans with me. It was fun until she started cursing up a storm. I braought up the fact that I did not like the current German chancelor(Gerhard Schroeder). She started blasting him with me. It was funny. Europeans are so silly.
After everything I met up with Terek and had couple of beers at Blue Note. Also talked with Al over the phone. I am really happy for him. He sounded really happy. Apparently I gave him an advice and he took it. The amazing part was that my advice that he aplied, worked. Wow how about that. Al deserves to feel good.
