Yes, I did choose a viewing spot downwind of the performance. I REGRET NOTHING!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I always marvel at how lucky I am to live in San Francisco<\/strong>. While taking long walks with friends, I often say aloud that we are extraordinarily lucky to live here, in such a beautiful city, with such a vibrant and creative and international population, mild weather year round, and the remarkable influence of the bay and our famous fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 16th was one of those days that inspires outbursts of gratitude<\/strong>, not only because the weather was warm and mild, but also because I also got to participate with friends<\/em> in an ART EXPERIENCE! The brilliant Judy Chicago<\/a> performed one of her Atmospheres<\/em> installations<\/strong>: a gorgeous, colored smoke performance of vast size, here for the public in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT WAS FANTASTIC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not every day I come home starry-eyed and reeking of gunpowder, but this was one of those days!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The de Young<\/a> live-streamed the event, and packaged it with a great overview of the exhibit. It’s a GREAT use of video, and I want to compel everyone I know to see it (giving me a moment’s overlap with the sort of zeal religious missionaries possess, which is a funny feeling)<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
