Slog - Comments on Art for the Rest of Us http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/art_for_the_rest_of_us On my way home last night, I stopped at 11th and East Pine Street to take this photo of a wheat-pasted booze poster when a lanky hipster yelled, “Free art show!” Which seemed like a strange thing to get exited about.
