Yesterday after school I went to volunteer at this private opening ceremony of Rebecca Belmore's collection of works at the Pari Nadimi Gallery. I personally don't think her art is grand (they make great images, but that's about it).

I thought it was a volunteer and won't get anything out of it. So for the whole night I've been sneaking wine I was offered into water bottles. Turns out at the end of the night Mr. Nadimi offered all the volunteers a bottle of wine of their choice as compliments anyway. So I walked home after 2 hours of work with 1 1/2 bottles of wine.

I was the door person for 2 hours, taking names and letting enthusiasts who are not on RSVP into the gallery anyway, eating high-end cater food & drinking decent white wine, talking to these people who are "in the circle" & pretending to be one of them, so it wasn't bad.

it's always fun to pretend to be "in the circle" when you're clearly outside it.

it's quite embarrassing too, if you have a social conscience.
but I guess being them is about being without social conscience.
