Here's a little behind the scenes photo essay on setting up an art show in LA. In this case at Silver Lake's Thinkspace Gallery. The show is billed as The Art Dorks Invade LA! and in fact, we got into town on June 6! D-DAY! The opening reception webcam is online at Thinkspace Gallery . The entire show is online too!

I fuckin' love LA! In 3 days, I ate at House of Pies, Fred 62 [twice!], Cafe Figaro, The Rose Cafe and Roscoe's Chicken Waffles, plus beers at Chez Jay's! fiedler
My new favorite "old" bar, Chez Jay on Ocean Blvd in Santa Monica. Google it. fiedler
You know about this place, right? You can see Jay's in the background, accross the street. fiedler
Just about everywhere you look, there's something interesting to see. fiedler
I also got to see Eden's Edge @ The Hammer Museum. EE is a collection of 15 contemporary LA artists in this gorgeous museum setting.
Artbeat wants to thank it's LA staffer David Chung and Seattle staffer Robert Hardgrave for their excellent photo coverage.
