If It's Friday, There Must Be Art

Tea: Chai

Music: Tom Ptacek, "The Joker"

Time: Night.

Friday is when the new art comes out here in Kansas City -- not just First Fridays, but through the month.

Tonight, there was an opening at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. It's a photography show, pieces by Stephen Shore -- and it's fantastic. One of the shots stopped me in my tracks and made me mouth one name: "Hopper."

That's as in "Edward." And that, folks, is high praise.

So yeah, you should go. And while you're there, check out Deb Sokolow's brilliant (and funny) "You Are One Step Closer to Learning the Truth." Give yourself plenty of time. You won't just need it. You'll want it.
