Today, Ilana, Janine and I went down to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Roman Treasures from the Louvre. Ilana had already seen it but she wanted to see it again. Roman summer theme and all that. She designed it to be a 'girls and mommies' event to include Janine's mother, Nancy. But she couldn't go, so we went anyway. Tried to convince Naomi to come with us, but no.
We decided to drive all the way downtown rather than taking the bus as the Saturday garage rates are cheaper. When we got into the parking lot underneath the Seattle Art Museum, I wondered why the parking lot was so darn full on a Saturday afternoon. Because they were all at the art museum, that's why!
This installation loomed over our head in the central lobby. Don't know the name but it WAS boxy white cars at funny angles with flashing lights like rays coming out of them. The lights flashed on and off. Disconcerting. Left $34 for Ilana and I to go see the roman artifacts. Which was a lot of marble and crowded with people. I had rather forgotten about the Roman empire.
Mostly I participated in renegade behavior taking some pictures before being busted 3 times by security guards to cut it out. I figured if you weren't caught by the same guard twice, you were cool. Enjoyed their signature abstract impressionists (Rothko, Pollock, Rauschenberg) on the way out.
