Bill you are a an adorable dork but you probably lost some nerd cred there at the end but we’ll miss you. Kent Dorn’s show at the the Safe Room is fantastic but the opening was lacking attendance. Dallas get your butt to the closing event on May 30th and show him some love! Dan Phillips show at the Webb Gallery is gorgeous and he shares the space with the fantastic art of Rich Cali, it’s a great combo.

That was an ironic Vulcan salute! My cred is as nerdy as anyone’s!
