Those nuts at the fabulous Seattle Art Museum have apparently lost their minds because they’ve asked ME to host a tour at this month’s also fabulous “SAM Remix” their delicious quarterly party. This month’s theme is apparently “Choose Your Own Adventure” and I’m apparently an “adventure” you can choose!!!
Don’t worry….I’ll be gentle.
Also. I mostly come out at night.
Mostly.
Basically, what this means is that I’ve been asked to lead a mini-tour of “My Favorite Things” at the Seattle Art Museum. It’ll last about 30 minutes and you’ll follow me around the museum and reverently listen to me prattle on about the things I J’adore at SAM.
I promise we won’t spend the entire tour in the Men’s Room….
If I terrify you, then you can choose OTHER tour guide options including the fabulous Jody Kuehner (aka Cherdonna, though I’m not sure if Jody or Cherdonna will be leading their tour….)
Oh, and my tour happens at 10 pm at the top of the escalators!
Here’s more info from the official SAM invite but grab tickets NOW because Remix almost always sells out…though they do save a few tickets at the door for people who show up in the appropriate attire. This Remix’s theme is “Floral” so get out your favorite daisy covered mini dress or rose hipped jump suit.
