Friday NIghts at the de Young

A couple years ago Guido and I discovered Friday Nights at the de Young, which is a free night the museum hosts showcasing live music and dancers which tie into one of the current exhibitions.  They provide art projects for kids and a bar for adults, as well. A couple weeks ago I went to see the Gypsy Jazz Quartet (actually a trio that night) and the Picasso exhibition from the Musée National Picasso, Paris. Both band and exhibition were excellent, but the best part of the evening was my quiet stroll through the upstairs galleries of Californian art; the beauty of this state and how it's portrayed by these early 20th century painters always enchants me.
