Mark took me to Ari Marcopoulos' show at the Berkeley Art Museum today. Though an admirer of his work, I didn't understand why we had to be there at 3pm sharp but anyway, we get there and lo and behold, Fab Five Freddy, Keith Hufnagel, Ari Marcopoulos and Barry McGee in "conversation." I could have just dropped to my knees right then and there. After hearing them speak, I thought about how awesome growing up in NY must have been in the 70's-90's. I'm so old school about the things I like and the people that inspire me but after such a great day, I can't wait to pick up a camera and pen. These are some of Ari's images that stayed with me-



ps. Word on the skreets Barry will be doing an exhibit at the Berkeley Art Museum 2011. Watch out now!
