TBA DIARIES: Opening Night at the Works

10:15 pm Sept. 4, Leftbank, The Works: Word has arrived that Portland Spaces Editor Randy Gragg wants to "buy" the recycled cardboard benches made by students of the Art Institute and are filling one of the several Egyptian catacomb-cum-Andy Warhol Factory rooms throughout The Works. "Maybe he could just write something nice about us," said one of A.I's blushing students on hearing about the "offer." Outside in the parking lot-cum-outdoor garden everyone is loading up on cheap tacos and expensive mixed drinks (there's not a drop of wine in sight) before heading back inside to Sarah Dougher conduct the Flash Choir. For most of us, this is the best site in years for The Works. (BB)

Also: the scupture is freaky.
