Yes and no.stinkyboy said:
MIKESBIKES downtown Sac-a-tomato. I start on the 8th.
No, I would love to. Do you know where it is being viewed? Is it privately owned?stosh said:
On another note, Jess, the owner, just called and DIDN'T ask for me but asked if the other manager types were in...
it's coming...:redhot: You know, it's kind of fun knowing it's coming, it's like sitting in the gate and hearing the beeps.
I'm all excited...is that wrong?
Thank you. It has been a pleasure working with them already.sanjuro said:
I actually saw it last spring at the Philly art Museum. The had a HUGE Dali exhibit. It was sold out from the day tix went on sale. My cousin works there so we cut the line and went right it. It was great!Heath Sherratt said:No, I would love to. Do you know where it is being viewed? Is it privately owned?

The show spanned his whole life!!
That's some serious art consuming...his whole lofes work? He was quite prolific. Must have been so cool. How big is the original?
That's dope. Exactly how I pictured it.
He did a few other with the same type theme... real freaking weird.... I loved the show... and of all the works he did the one at the end which you are using as your avatar moved me the MOST. I'm not sure which way it moved me exactly but it had the most lasting effect.Heath Sherratt said:
I have heard that that painting really impacts a lot of people.
I personally see it as the perspective Jehovah had of His Son during the moment.

I cannot begin to describe his museum in Spain. He designed it so its like a work of art in itself.
The Dali Lama rocks.
I always ponder on the why's of a painters motivation. His desire to even paint Christ, the abstract nature of his visions and the lack of blood as Yeshua was obliterated before His crucifixion (as can be seen in The Passion). I think he has been reverant and honest with his visions though, they are tremendously powerful. I would love a life size replica.

Stosh - I agree completely. I bunch of his early works in Madrid either in the Reina Sofia or Prado, now I can't remember. I was awestruck. This was all classically done figures, portraits, etc. with photo realistic details. Amazing. I had only seen his weird stuff before, you know melting clocks and whatnot. It really put all the later stuff in perspective for me. Such an amazing painter.
I was looking at his painting so closely that I got in trouble with the museum staff. I just wanted to reach out and touch it to see if it was real.
I will miss it here. My staff was incredible and we had such great synchronicity. Good times. Wish it could last.
Many reasons, the bossman isn't exactly into doing what he says, more money, better organization, performance based pay structure, and in general just a more professional organization with room to grow. Where I work now is a two store business and he doesn't intend to grow it or even maximize what he has now. I will have light commute but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. It was ahard decision, but I know I made the right one. It's going to be a big learning curve for me and it will be a lot more challenging so I am really looking forward to it. H
Heath,
Good luck to you in the new job. On a side note, are you heading to Sand Hill this weekend for the first slalom race?? The track is done and I am really excited to ride/race on it.

Hope to see you there.

Is that because he has an eye for llama toe?justsomeguy said:
They are opening a store in Sac. I will be helping with the staffing, training, merchandising, etc. It will be really great experience starting a store from scratch.

Get me a job. I am a rocking good wrench. I can sell too.
Heath,
Post the address so I know where to send folks. Even though I didn't go in there(I live in Roseville and hate going into Citrus Heights) I referred them to you at City Bike Works.
Good luck.
