Flashback to Halloween 2007

I am a sucker for a good joke and when I find someone willing enough to help play it out...Halloween Party, my wing gal and I went as Picasso and His Blue Period. Guess who was Picasso (which is presumptuous enough).

This was about the same time I actually started painting again. The blue streaks on my shirt are real. The product of a day's efforts painting, "The Philogynist."

Recognizing Historic Landmarks, and Happy Birthday, Neal Cassady!

The Condor was the first topless & bottomless strip club in America. It sits on the corner of Columbus and Broadway, across from City Lights Books and near the Beat Museum. It is a strip club again.




Some photos from the "Beat" part of the trip...including scenes at the Beat Museum, City Lights Books, Cafe Vesuvio, and Cafe Greco (both beat hangouts). Neal Cassady had a birthday on Feb. 8...he was the influence for Kerouac's "On the Road."
