One of my favorite stretches of Williamsburg saw two little openings last night, both of which were a-ok. The first one we hit up, at The Hogar Collection had almost zero anxiety factor, aside from the incredibly attractive attendees and those maniacs letting their child dangerously close to that eye gouge-ready buddah sculpture. What are people thinking? I cringed at least 4 times.

The scene down the street at group opening at 303 Grand was way different. Super crowded, it looked like a Chelsea opening had barfed up a couple fashiony girls in the mix who were dutifully mean-mugging. Some of the photography was nice and that glass blown crutch was awesome - I'm pretty surprised some tipsy dumb-dumb didn't knock it over as I expected. Once I stepped outside for some air and a cigarette, two neighborhood dudes who noticed me eyeing their hooptie would not relent with suggestions of "letting me see the inside," so much so that I had to cross the street. The vanity plate said "Stalkers," maybe this means I'll be seeing them again soon?
