Artwalk

SOMA (south of Market, a.k.a the Mission) now has enough galleries for J. Brent Large of Little Tree Gallery to organize a monthly Saturday night "24th and Mission Art Walk."

(A Little Tree artist, Chad Moore, has an image in Spring.)

I had a good time at Art Walk's kickoff last night, fortifying myself first with a hot chocolate and pastry at the cafe (with drawings on the wall) of Pirate Cat Radio (87.9 fm).

I arrived a little early at Million Fishes.
I then hit Eleanor Harwood, which reps an artist, Emily Prine, who was in the Venice Biennale, and which is across from the greenest house in the country and which was having four bands later in the evening, and Triple Base and Receiver
and 2nd Floor Projects, which is in what might once have been the living room of an apt. in a Art Deco bldg., and Fabric8, which is a T-shirt outlet with art on its walls, and Cafe Que Tal, which is a cafe with art on its walls, and ended up finally meeting Little Tree's Large (on the right).

I skipped Soap , which was showing Veepster Matt Gonzalez, and Queens Nails Annex (been there), and grabbed a cab driven by Jerry Abrams, who was once a Ph.D. candidate at Berkeley (Kierkegaard) and then did psychedelic light shows and made films...and who, when he dropped me off, suggested I google him.
