Tangled Up In BLU

Saturday night was the annual membership party for the Wichita Art Museum. Last year it was called Red, this year... you get the picture. Probably the best social event in town you can find. Your $100 ticket gets you five hours of wonderful food, drink, music and art.

It was looking on Friday night, as I sat at home with a 102 degree fever, that I was going to have to sit this one out. Thankfully, I rallied through the day Saturday. Nothing like the thought of watching a hundred bucks go to waste to help you find that extra gear. The bad news... In order to survive the night, I disavowed alcohol. If you saw the selection at this party, you'd know just how tough that was.

The highlight for me though, was the return to Wichita of Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players.

Mr. Yang takes your favorite rock and roll hits and transforms them on the violin. It has to be seen to be believed. Watch as they take on Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times." Also, watch Eugene's killer dance moves. Straight outta Canada.



In this video, it's Boston's "More Than A Feeling." This time, Eugene helps out with air guitar duties. He needs to start his own rockin' band.



Anytime you go to a party, and there are waitresses walking around with trays full of sushi, you know you're doing pretty good. I ate more delicious sushi last night than I probably have in my whole life. Tons and tons of great food that never ran out.

A few more scenes:

Stacey and Eugene. We went to the Red party last year and had a great time with them. We've talked about this party all year.
