Patriots' Day photography reception at Hi-Fi

Just a reminder to come out tomorrow night for the Patriots' Day photography reception. Come, enjoy the photos, pancakes and drinks specials. The (vodka) Shot Heard Round the World comes highly recommended.

Hi-Fi
169 Ave A (btw 10th & 11th Streets), NYC

Francine Daveta is having a party to celebrate the opening of her photographic series, "Patriots' Day" at Hi-Fi. The project is based on photo-journalistic portraits of Revolutionary War re-enactors and the townspeople of Lexington, MA. This exploration of patriotism and the celebration of war in liberal, suburban America comes at an important time in our living history. The exhibit will be on display at Hi-Fi until January 11, 2009.

In addition to appreciating art, please come to drink, play pool, listen to Hi-Fi's acclaimed jukebox and eat
a traditional Patriots' Day Pancake Breakfast for dinner (while it lasts).

Rubber Ducky, You're the One

As it turns out, baking soda and vinegar doesn't always help with a clogged drain. Neither does Draino or Liquid Plumbr. In some cases the only thing that works is your building superintendent and a plunger.

Check out this 10 minute synopsis of ORG, the event in Boston where I exhibited my Patriot's Day photos. If you can't watch all the performances in the beginning at least watch the last few minutes or so when Amanda Palmer's performs Rihanna's "Umbrella". I comes complete with a man in scary clown make-up hosing down the crowd and, if you look carefully, me in the background shielding my camera by shoving it under my dress (not once did I stop dancing though).

The children running back to their housing projects across the street is priceless too!

So Long, Sophia.
