I went on the downtown art walk last night and Bobby Fischer joined me. We started at my office building’s holiday party and had a few Mac & Jacks and then headed off to the galleries. Bobby drank harder than I’ve ever seen him drink (though I’ve only seen him drink a glass of wine or a beer at a time).… read more “First Thursday Art Stumble”
