Pink Week reception

Here are some candid shots of artists and supporters at the Pink Week reception at Cricket Engine Last night. Pictured first is the Impresaria of Pink herself, Gioia. Next photo, on the left is artist and husband of Gioia, Eric Wood. On the right is Andy Phares, who has been mentioned in this blog before. (I think he's one of 3 people who keeps up on it regularly, not including my parents.) (Also, Andy recently had a spotlight on his bad self in the Contra Costa Times. Yes he is all that and a bag of chips.)

Next is an artistically clumped group that includes Gioia's parents, Eric's mom, and Alex in the foreground.

Next, on the right is Brian Gangelhoff, a fellow Richmond Art Center staff escapee and artist in the show. On the left is the guy I only know as John, and in feathers and wig is Vinny. (or is it Vinnie?)

Next, another portrait of Andy pictured with Shalene Valenzuela, Cricket Engine gallery proprietoress. There were lots of other people there, but after a couple cups of wine, my photo taking becomes strikingly worse.
