a word about art museums
My favorite reception venue was the art museum. It was unique. It was interesting. It fit me. My fiance was okay with it too. The guests could spend the cocktail hour wandering the galleries. If they weren’t dancers, that was okay! The galleries would be open for a while after dinner too. How great was that? It was a little more expensive than I wanted it to be, but I thought I could find a way to fit it into the budget. I would have to get a caterer, which would be a little work, but the museum had a vendor list, so I was going to rely on that. I was 99% sure that was where the reception was going to be until I asked the all important question.
“What exhibits will be here in the month that I want to have the reception?”
Well, one hall was going to be closed, one had Mexican heritage paintings and one was going to feature an artist named Camille Rose Garcia. Seemed like a pleasant enough name, but I decided to check out the art… just in case. The name of the exhibit was Tragic Kingdom. Hmm… doesn’t sound too appropriate for celebrating a new marriage, does it? With pieces like Orphaned Nihilist Poison Rations and Subterranean Doom Party (Cake) I suddenly had to mark the art museum off of the list.
