Contemporary Arts Museum Houston: The Birth of Cool
In 5 Words: Groovy, Endowed, Afrobeat, Retrospective, Fela
I stop by my favorite couple’s house for a cocktail to start the evening and to convince the boyfriend that he should, in fact, join us. The company will be nice, but more importantly, it’s always nice to have a man around to double as a body guard or a drink getter. After the introductory drink, we race over to CAMH a little after 8 and find, to our surprise, that the bar has been placed outside the front doors. The cold night air hasn’t deterred the art goers from lining up to partake in the cheap spirits, wine and beer being hocked for a few dollars apiece. Noting the Smirnoff label on the sole bottle of vodka, I decide cheap wine will hurt far less than cheap vodka.
