Daisy Cutter, by Half Acre. Apparently this beer was used during the Vietnam War to blast holes in the jungle canopy to clear landing zones for helicopters.
Snacks at Fill In The Blank
Fill In The Blank typically puts out a diverse array of snackables. This time it was watermelon, grapes, and strawberries, carrots cucumbers, hummus, and pita triangles. A well-chosen assortment of snacks, perfect for a hot summer night, especially the watermelon!

In addition to a keg of beer, Fill in The Blank is one of the only galleries to put out drinking water for their guests. Good call, guys! Usually the gallery night is like Burning Man: plenty of free booze, but bring your own water. What is this, Arrakis? Fill In The Blank is onto something good here, and hopefully other galleries follow suit.

That is not my Mello Yello. I've never seen it before in my life. I swear.

I believe I had a Coca-Cola. Ever since I saw her on Art:21, I think of Louise Bourgeoise every time I drink a Coke (which isn't often). "And this is my fear I won't get my Coca Cola."
A keg of what I believe was Miller Light, at EbersMoore.

The bat hat started out as a Halloween costume (we were bats with white nose disease) but has since worked its way into my regular rotation.
