Love Note....

In the "new" demolished Pocket Utopia space with Benay, me and Donald discussing the installation of the "Queen and I."

I met Donald Steele in Hudson, New York while co-organizing a show called Pop-up Gallery Portraits  with Scot Cohen.  Donald is a playwright.  He sent me one of his photographs of the Queen.

I liked it and sent it to Hrag Vartanian.  Hrag also liked the images of the Queen.

 Donald is a swimmer and so am I.  I ran into him (I did not swam into him) in the slow lane 4 days a week. I saw a few of his plays.  I met Roger, below:

  

Roger, me and Benay planning out next week's one night grand reopening of Pocket Utopoia.  There's a little bit of John Kenny on the left-hand side.

We all talked about art; Weegee, the current Paul Graham show at Pace, and the Renaissance Portraiture show at the Met.  More Queens came into my inbox.  I decided to reopen Pocket Utopia although some argue it never closed.  We decided to have a show, "The Queen and I," which opens next week, Wednesday, March 28, from 6pm to 8 pm!!  God save the Queen!

More planning pics below, which were beautifully shot by Cat Kenny!  Thanks Cat!!

  As Donald says, we're having "fun with Her Highness."
