Artist Tracy Sharp's opening reception November 12

Friday November 12 is a big night for art events. It's Art Stroll night for <a href="http://castleberryhill.org/wpmu/calendar/art-stroll/">Castleberry Hill </a>and Studioplex, and there is cool event at <a href="http://www.pd.org/%7Eeyedrum/calendar/index.php?eventTypeId=1&id=3860&month=11&year=2010">Eyedrum: "Art of Such and Such closing event"</a>. Let me suggest an art opening in Virginia Highlands. If you go early, you can eat nearby and still hit Castleberry or Studioplex, then late night at Eyedrum.<br /><a href="http://maxwellgallery.com/"></a><blockquote><a href="http://maxwellgallery.com/">Maxwell Gallery</a> presents "Eclipse" a group show featuring <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ruth Franklin</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tracy Sharp</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael West</span> on Friday, November 12, 2010, 6-9pm, 790 N. Highland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30306, next door to Bill Hallma. </blockquote>Here is <a href="http://tracysharpart.com/">Atlanta artist <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tracy Sharp</span></a>. She's doing whatever has to be done to open <span id="BugEvents">Maxwell Gallery</span> for the September 17 reception.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3o4OtfodcmfwsKEwLEpB3jzq4r9ZRJpKopxU1Qf37CTrVtN5JpyjAaFbll35i3u4a6D9CWh3PxZTAWkOcRIsyk_77X4E8zRpT1EXLhI7WKf5LMNvDpDyPbyhFlVL57KVkD75JcOAtEuHy/s1600/P1040082-2010-09-17-Tracy-Sharp-gets-ready-for-t+onights-opening.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537543314159551250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3o4OtfodcmfwsKEwLEpB3jzq4r9ZRJpKopxU1Qf37CTrVtN5JpyjAaFbll35i3u4a6D9CWh3PxZTAWkOcRIsyk_77X4E8zRpT1EXLhI7WKf5LMNvDpDyPbyhFlVL57KVkD75JcOAtEuHy/s400/P1040082-2010-09-17-Tracy-Sharp-gets-ready-for-t+onights-opening.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />Few Atlanta galleries are in a walkable neighborhood.

Jon Ciliberto Watercolors Soccer Dads at SWITCH Modern

Wes Stone and I were trying to figure why we recognized each other. We were at <a href="http://www.switchmodern.com/">SWITCH Modern</a>'s Spotlight on Design with John Howard -<a href="http://www.howarddesignstudio.com/">Howard Design Studio - Landscape Architecture</a> - on October 27. (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/sets/72157625257092802/with/5122224778/">Here are the pictures</a> in case you missed it.)<br /><br />Here is John Howard in designer black with glasses.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5122428372/" title="P1040876-2010-10-27-Switch-Modern-talk-John-Howard-himself-blackshirt-glasses by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1040876-2010-10-27-Switch-Modern-talk-John-Howard-himself-blackshirt-glasses" height="463" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/5122428372_9c249c284a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />So Wes was asking, "Are you an architect? A builder? Druid Hills? Paideia? Where you do live?" We finally nailed it: His Dana and my Katherine had been playing soccer with and against each other forever. This is a bigger coincidence that you might think. I'd expect a few soccer moms at a design event but not many soccer dads.
