Di Rosa, far away in Napa has an exciting looking show opening on Saturday. Beatnick Meteors, inspired by a work by William T. Wiley from the di Rosa collection, will have work by Paul Clipson, Lisa Rybovich Crallé,Chris Duncan, Christopher Füllemann, and Bailey Hikawa along with number of events and performances during the exhibition. Now, to plan my trip to Napa...

Which reminds me... there were so many things I wanted to see Friday, including the new shows at Romer Young and SHED Projects, but, tired from a long day I went home. This temptation, to skip going to see things for this or that reason, weighs especially heavy as it starts to get colder. Lets all try to resist the call of our streaming video queues and keep going out to things! I will if you will...
