Pop Culture Petri Dish

My talented wife, Rita Bellanca, is one of fifty honored participants in the Forgotten Works Art Challenge, exhibiting at the Tashiro Kaplan Building in Pioneer Square, 315 Prefontaine Place South! Thirty of her paintings will be on display, along with a lot of other great work from local artists, and the schedule is as follows: Wednesday, December 2: Preview (no works for sale), 5 to 8pm Thursday, December 3: The sale begins and runs from 5 to 9pm. This is a popular annual event, plus it's First Thursday in Pioneer Square, so make sure to arrive early: It will be busy! Saturday, December 5, the gallery will also be open from noon to 5pm. Rita's done a lot of great, great work (check out her Zazzle page and her Blog, Atomic War Bride , and prepare to be, well, Zazzled), so this is an outstanding opportunity for her work to be exhibited (and sold!). Hope to see you there!

I've got mucho irons in the fire, friends, so the 'Dish may be a bit under-stocked in the coming couple of weeks. HOWEVER! I will be hosting a Movie Night at the Aster Coffee Lounge in scenic Ballard, Washington and have created a Blog to summarily clarify/plug/pimp the blessed event. Feel free to stop by said Weblog  at your leisure and say hello. And try to come out for the shindig! I could be persuaded to pull my T-shirt halfway over my head, then bust out a baaad imitation of Vincent Price in The Pit and The Pendulum . Maybe. But one thing's for sure: I promise to deliver some seriously wiggy stuff...Stay tuned!
