I Didn't Know Where I Was Going With This.

The Barry McGee opening at Redcat.

These pictures do not show the scope of this. I was immediately impressed and sold on this show. Amazing.

There was a loft that you could climb into and peek one person at a time. I won't tell you what was up there. Climb that ladder on your own.

It felt great inside this room.

This pregnant and swollen wall must have been a nightmare to hang.

Handsome Skull Buddy.

Life Neighbor, Matzah and an Abe Babe. All smokers.

It was wildly packed, a runaway success.

Down in the theater people were starting to come in to check out..

What a room! It's beautiful down there!

The night was a hint of Fall, and part of the Summer farewell. Things are looking good.

And even though there were like 700 people upstairs at his opening, Barry McGee was in the theater watching the entire AV set by himself. What a class act!

And then tragedy struck. A broken string.

Reggie looked dubious. Would the show go on?

mcgeecat20.jpg

Whew! Thank goodness!

Meanwhile, back upstairs, it's Jesse Clavin.

This is Juan, pleased that the name 'Baby Kid Congo' doesn't seem to be sticking.

And this is Reggie, pleased that in the span of a single week he will have played both the Barry McGee opening and the Dash Snow opening.

Kevin and Camille.

The night ended at Canter's, a beautiful ending, watching Juan wiggling around on the phone, eating cookies.
