Lower Haight Gallery Openings

This past Friday we checked out some of the neighby-ho gallery openings, and my, my, my what fun it was!  We ran through Fifty24SF, D Structure, and Lower Haters - check the detailed photo run down below:

First up was the main event, Porous Walker's Haricots Magiques opening at Fifty24SF Gallery's new space directly adjacent to Upper Playground.

Inside and out it was a wild scene, tons of great people, great art, and great entertainment! Not to mention complimentary beers and popcorn!!!

Porous' art is absurdly amusing. He's definitely got his own style. And while it may not be as detailed as Carravagio the time he saves on each individual piece is probably what allows him to come up with such a prolific show.

There was a really great stream-of-consciousness type scroll along one entire wall of the gallery

...that too

One of the best things about going to a Porous Walker show is that he doesn't take himself too seriously, as such most of his work is seriously inexpensive. And I'm proud to say this precious gem now belongs to me

Snugglemachine also played and gave out prizes and compliments! What a couple of capital dandy fellows!
Friday June 4th 175

There was some other artists' work on display at the show too, but unfortunately I got too drunk to remember names. Here are a couple of great paintings hanging there now (I think one of them is rendered after the likeness of SF's own Jeremy Fish):

Remembering that D Structure was having an opening too, we ran over there next. These guy's have been having some seriously outrageous looking parties going on in their gallery and I'll seem to stop by too late to check it out. Luckily we didn't miss it this time:

Heeey, there's another party in here.
Friday June 4th 210

Wow, and look at that tremendous art (again I've forgotten names, but it's there now so go check it out)!

This art is making me thirsty, time for a beer...

Oh look, it's gallery director (and owner?), and all around nice guy, Devon
Friday June 4th 197
Such an outstanding member of society

Ever wonder what smoking will look like in the future? Well, maybe you should google "plooming," they had a sample bar set up

Friday June 4th 192

You say you're not much at socializing and the art is making your eyes bleed? Take a break and stare a classic Henson joint

Very glad we finally made it over to this opening. We'll be back!
Friday June 4th 186

Next we ran over to Lower Haters to check out some custom bikes

Couldn't resist heading back over to Fifty24 where the party was showing no signs of slowing
Friday June 4th 226

Oh man, is that John and Jessica Trippe from Fecal Face? These guys are like celebs to me, and I finally got up the nerve to introduce myself. Here they are representing some Midwest flavor
Friday June 4th 248
A true pair of Coolio's. Hope to run into you again!
Friday June 4th 249


We met a Harvard teaching fellow who lost his finger in freak accident at the dolphin therapy camp that his parents sent him to because he wasn't speaking at the age of 6 and they thought he wasn't right in the head. One morning while feeding the dolphins this boy's life would change

The party's still "popping" inside
