Another Opening, Another Show

Are you still sitting on the couch, (And what did you do with The Thing On the Couch) staring at the super wide plasma watching the beautiful baby Bears maul the grizzled old Green Bay Slackers? Well pick up your bed, er couch and walk to the amazing art displayed at the Pacific Park Gallery, this very weekend and learn something, absorb culture and fire up those weary gray cells.

The Ole Trawler himself will be on hand to welcome you and share with you his own incredible works of photographic brilliance. Just take the short walk up the stairs, cause there are photos in the stair well as well and then on the second floor you can see all of the faces which make up, Character: Them What has. A photographic essay of the wonders we walk by every day but are too absorbed in our own little dramas to see.

Then if that isn't enough here's the insightful, imaginative work of F. Gary Ostrom, gentleman artist and all about swell guy who you should take time to meet and discuss art with cause he has much to say of merit and you know that your time will be better spent than it would be watching another early season football game where the players haven't even worked of all of the lard they packed on in the off season unless they are place kickers in which case they are scared spitless cause they saw the YouTube of Carli Loyd nailing a fifty-five yard field goal through the practice goal posts which are only nine feet wide instead of the regulation eighteen feet on the first try and why haven't my beautiful baby Bears signed that girl up cause you all remember last year it was one missed filed goal that knocked Da Bears out of the play-offs.

An then, and then , and then along came Janne! I can't actually say if she is Slow walking Janne, Slow talking Janne, along came bright, bold, brilliant Janne! Ya see she is the boss of the gallery it would probably be best just to say nice things about the Honcho, but that's so easy cause when you see her art you too will be saying nice things and when you go back to the Home 20 and see the Thing on the Couch who hasn't moved and might need to have his pulse checked just to make sure he hasn't died with the remote in his hand and said he rhetorically is that the modern equivalent of dying with your boost on, but I digress so when you see the Thing on the Couch you can tell him all about the amazing, wonderful and enlightening art on display at the Pacific Park Gallery and remind him that if he had put on pants and brushed his teeth he too could have seen the art, enjoyed the intellectual environment and snagged some killer snacks all while listening to the Little Match Girls play the top 40 of 1756.

Now are you still interested in that silly football game, which isn't actually played with feet cause then it would be soccer and the United States National Women's Second consecutive World Cup winning Super Stars would be playing and everyone would be staying at home to watch America's team cause they are the real stars of any game, but since they don't play again until October you have no excuse not to be at Pacific Park Gallery, this very Sunday, September the 8th from 2-4 for the reception and to meet the incredible artists on display with no annoying Liberty Mutual Limu commercials to distract from the art.
