"looking for potential collaborators for the opening night, June 7th. It'll be on the first thursday art walk and listed in the papers. I'm into whatever, the restaurant is open for music, performance, art production."

I wonder where he gets his talent.. not to mention his drive to create.
If I, through some fluke wormhole in the time-space continuum, so to speak, find myself in Portland.. you betcha, I'll drop in on Gabe's show.
This obviously brings pride, I know, and also memories of openings past, I gather, Maureen.
I think I know where all that creativity came from, you proud Mama, you.
Sounds like a wonderful show. I'm happy for you both!
Thank you so much, Wayne and EO -- you are right that I am proud of him -- he deserves it. I also admire Gabe and learn alot from him. I consider him a friend as well as a loved son -- a grown son, but still my son. heheh.
Wayne - get yourself onto the platform at the wormhole station. I really can't go, but if you have a time-space-continuum ticket, then go, man! Gabe would be tickled.
I'm also just trying to create some buzz for his show -- I have to get my vicarious yah-yah's somehow.
E: here's for you:
(((((((((((((you))))))))))))

(((((((you too)))))))
I would really love to have been at Gabe's opening last night! Like you Maureen, I'm also very proud of him. Just think, I have one of those 'famous' paintings! I'd better hang onto it. Eh? I'm looking forward to seeing him at the end of June.
Yep -- Mom, hang on to that painting and any others he sends you ... thanks for commenting on his blog, too. xoxo
