A couple weekends ago I had the pleasure of going to a few different events but with a Saturday art opening featuring Iranian artists at a downtown LA art gallery was the most fun! The exhibit opened simultaneously with a gallery in Tehran.

I went with my new friends Christian from Germany and Mai from Sweden. We then met up with a couple of other new friends Olga from Russia, Paula from Brazil and Frank from New York! It was one of the better evenings I've had in a very long time. Extremely interesting and thought provoking. What's not to like?? Very fun.
On a side note; the Japanese Earthquake, Tsunami and threat of nuclear destruction is on my mind with thoughts and prayers out to the people of that nation.
