DAMN!!!!!!!!
Will someone please smack some sense into me.
I tried to buy tickets to the show tomorrow and they are sold out.
I was told they were running low but I have no clue about these things.
so I tried to buy 4 tickets and nope nada nine.

I can't even go to an art show where my own ass is on the wall. 
I'm depressed, I think I'll go buy that reflector and shoot something outdoors tomorrow.....

If that's the biggest screw-up you ever have, then you're in for a smooth ride overall!

Not even press can get in now sold out, standing room only, max capcity.
The curator knows who I am, I laughed with her and told her I had been advertizing this show for weeks and just didn't buy my own ticket.

The only chance I have is to show up at 10'45 and hope people leave early, it's ok I learned something at least.

besides it means hopfully people with more money than I will be going and buy some prints then I'll get a cut.

Artist's own fiance may not be able to go they won't even hold tickets at the door. I guess this is a lot bigger than I had expected......I've only gone to tiny shows in coffee houses before or night clubs.

Who knew how popular Iona's ass would be on a wall? (Correction, who didn't know?)

You are a completely clueless, aren't you?

Not because you didn't buy the tickets, but because you fail to see the true opportunity in this situation.  This is where you get to shine!  This is where you get bask in snobbery and sophistication.  This is where you walk right in and when questioned, you scoff and say "You obviously have no idea who I am..."








And then you get naked and say "I'm the one on the wall.  Duh.

I'm certain that they'll let you in free of charge without question at that point...

Okay, who pays for tickets to an art show?

If it's exclusive I get invites.   Who is actually charging?????

Simple... when you are at the door, lift your skirt or drop your pants when the doorman wants to see your ticket... https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/UdoRPhotoArchive/MakingAPointGifs/shakedatass.gif , and then you show him... wink

Just make certain that everybody in line knows that it's an interactive performance piece.

And then they will ask "Where's the model?  She must be here for this work to be complete!"

Thanks!!!! but it is a two hour drive to get there and if I don't get in I will have wasted 30$ in gas and 4 hours of time, I don't think there is much to do in Sonoma late at night.

On the other hand I get a job working in SAC at Ozzfest tomorrow so this will let me go to bed early and man Ozzfest for free!!!!!! Wait, not free, I get paid!!!!!

ok, let me see if i understand, you DON'T get to go to a gallery show where you're not going to get paid but you DO get to go to an all day concert AND get paid. Gee, tough life you've got there Iona.

Try to force your way in.  Make a scene.  Get arrested.  Small fine. Priceless! Publicity!
