(Speaking of which, I just checked Max's gift and learned that you are 18 hours ahead of me, so you are already in tomorrow!)
Well, we have to be world leaders in something! It used to be rugby, but after Saturday's match, hmmm. Time seems to be as good as anything else.
BUT--if I recall last week's paper correctly, the
GUTENBERG ARTIFACTS are now at our main library!
And I'll be there!
Good old Gutey! I'm a printer by trade from way back, so he's something of an icon for me. I always thought he was a bit of a cunning so-and-so setting up shop in a church crypt. Bit difficult to get slammed for heresy under the circumstances, something a lot of his contemporaries or successors didn't avoid.
I wonder if the exhibition that's hit Old Caintuck is the same one I saw in Njimegen in Holland in, I think, 1997 ...

Of course Jo, it is a new painting method, slightly akin to postmodernism. I believe it is called postmortem. But don’t quote me on this, I might be dead wrong.
I'm still chuckling, bel... it's a sort of decomposition, oui?

The Cezanne acquisition by the Louisville museum is common knowledge in the art investment world. I have a semi-professional interest in that. The mention of "Louisville" in the preceding posts simply triggered a memory from a recent article I read - and Jackie appears to be the sort of lady who would be interested in seeing a Cezanne.
I didn't have the foggiest notion what (a) the largest museum in Atlanta is; or (b) what is on exhibit there. I think I do now after a quick search on "Atlanta", "Art" and "Museum" using the AltaVista search engine. I take it you're referring to Elton John's snapshots at the High? Sorry, I gave up on him after "Yellow Brick Road"! I get the distinct impression he's more famous for being famous than for his music these days.

Kudos to you, Kiwi. Excellent search. Elton's photographs ("snapshots", schnapshots). He lives here now. I'm not impressed with him, but he has an awesome collection. I have a semi-professional interest in photography. I was just teasing when I called you hotshot, by the way -- silly me, I thought NZ humor was similar to Oz humor, sarcasm and irony a given, and expected. *running and hiding*

I thought he lived in Windsor.
Never mind, we get Madonna, you get Elton. Net impact on humanity = zero.

Jo and mav, I couldn't agree more . Elton's just a part-time resident here, I guess. For tax purposes.

Mr Quordlepleen, at least, will understand when I suggest that Reg Dwight would be better off dead for a year for tax purposes, the same as another rock icon, Hotblack Desiderato ... but then he is/was from another time and space. And Max will know where/when!
