SAM Remix

Y'all know I was a huge fan of Hirshorn After Hours, so, after the stars aligned to give me enough time to do something fun this weekend, I decided to head on over to the quarterly SAM Remix. Now, my first After Hours may have changed my life forever, but... Friday November 6th's Remix at Seattle Art Musem was off tha hook.

Remix featured, among other things, "Highly Opinionated Tours" led by art fanatics like Jen Graves of The Stranger fame, yodeling Dominatrix Manuela Horn (from this year's America's Got Talent), a stilt dancer, and a hella sweet Alexander Calder exhibit (featuring lots of mobiles and his puh-sycho crazy-man circus video).

Need I mention this shit was super gay? Come here if you need a place to show off your latest drag ensemble... Now that I look at the program, it was co-sponsored by Outlaws (for queer law students at UW), Out for Sustainability (fuckin no clue what that means but it sounds gay), Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and Seattle Out and Proud.

Some other activities of the night, in pictures:

Michelangelo's David-inspired temporary tattoos. (There was a Michelangelo exhibit in the galleries.)


A modeling/drawing station.


Crafts 101 for adults: Paper bag luminaria for Dia de los Muertos.


Two different dance floors w/ two different DJ's. This particular DJ, mixed super dancy versions of classic motown and 90's rap.

All in all, hella fun. Def's worth the $8 student admission.
