Last Thursday a different type of art show took place in a different type of gallery. Known for cool clothes, Vince in HP Village was the location for the showing of Holt Haynsworth‘s (pictured right with Gregory Dunbar) fabulous handiwork for the 2011 Paws Cause Calendar. Instead of plastering photos on walls or balancing them on easels, Holt, who a very high tech kind of guy, had the photos of critters and their companion showing digitally on a flatscreen. Needless to say, it was the gathering place as subjects and friends ooh-ed and awed over the wonderful black-and-white shots.
Vince manager Stacy Gibbons felt it was the perfect location for the showing. After all, Vince is very pooch-phriendly. Not only does it provide cookies for doggie patrons, but it also has a “mascot” — a French bulldog named Oscar, who stops in with his mistress just about every morning.
Set up in the front of the store, Hal Brierley was displaying last year’s calendars to folks who were still thinking about ordering up a photo for the SPCA fundraising project. Hal might want to consider giving up his day job and work as a carnival barker. With that smile and twinkle in his eye, he’s pretty darn good at pitching to the crowd.
The big talk of the night was the Rangers game on Friday at the Ballpark. Cassie Evans was proud as punch about her husband Jake Decker (pictured right with Cassie Evans) closing a big deal and being rewarded with tickets to the game. If the Rangers make it to the World Series, Jake is going to have to pull off a really humongous deal to make his wife happy.
If you have a pet or a friend with a pet, you just might still time to get a place in the calendar. Having checked the rates, it’s a bargain. Plus it would make a great holiday gift to surprise someone with a picture of their pet in the calendar. Only problem is the deadline was last Friday, but if you beg you probably can convince the top dogs to get you in.
