If you made it to the opening party tuesday evening you know that the air was warm, the music very very cool and the root beer frosty. All was as it should be.

I am particularly impressed with the music. Kudos to the solid voice talents of Sister Sez Gillian Thomson along with Robert Thomson, Jamie Thomson ( http://www.intellifunk.com/) the Culturally Modified who were joined by Greg Coyes, and a spectacular trio of haida sisters the Bird Sisters.

All this along with sunset over the Salish Sea and it was as good as it ever gets.

You may not know that this was the single largest ever crowd at an exhibit opening at Vancouver’s second largest art gallery.

I am delighted to see how quickly and fully people are responding to the pieces in the exhibit. The Bone Box is spinning furiously. A hundred fingerprints are tracing the Pedal to the Meddle and Coppers from the Hood stare down the great Canadian land claim. It seems true as said during the opening addresses, that we really do want to become more than observers in our own life.

Pictures of the pieces will be posted soon thanks to the impressive talents of Alex Waterhouse Hayward http://alexwaterhousehayward.com/
