A Day with Peter Max

 

Well that was nice. a day with the daughter, going to see Peter Max at the Off The Wall Gallery in Houston, by the Galleria. Was very nice I must say, love his work. Got a couple of autographs, one for Lindsay and one for me, but didn’t get any pictures of him, that wasn’t allowed unless you bought a work of his, and then you had the picture taken by his photographer, which would be ok really, I mean, you drop $6k + for a picture, you should get a picture with the artist, with a real camera, and not your cell phone. They were giving out champagne and mimosas, and Lindsay thought hers was just orange juice, so for a short while I was holding two mimosas.
