Tonight's reception was pleasant enough, partly because it was almost empty unlike the noisy melees of the past, but they seem to be phoning it in on their website. I'm trying to find out who the guy...

REAC is my favorite art gallery. I love it. They feature a gallery night that is free and open to the public once a month. The best is when Food For Thought Caters the event (IMO). Great music, great...
