It’s Sunday and there’s an art show at the Mars Bar...need I say more?
This is the piece of art I made for the show. I used the Mothers of Invention album artwork for "We're Only In It For The Money" and turned it into "We're Only In It For The Mars Bar." I used photos from Easter Sunday at the Mars Bar to add to the Mother's original collage which was their parody of the Sgt. Pepper album artwork.
I really dread seeing this corner when the Mars Bar is gone. Oh well, let's celebrate the fact that it's still here.
Here's Terry posing in front of the latest and possibly last mural he had just drawn on the outside of Mars Bar.
Terry and Ray check out my Mars Bar art. I made a lot of copies and gave them each one.
I think it's time to go in, why not?
It's safe to drink and that is good to know!
Some of the art from today's show hangs on the wall behind the bar.
Bartender Jessica is behind the bar.
Here's Ed and Goggla. Goggla brought me some swizzle stcks to add to the MAD collection which was really nice!
You can't really tell from the photo, the swizzle part lights up and turns different colors! Very cool! Thanks, Goggla!
Bob and Lindsay were sitting up front by the window.
This is Dave who's shooting a documentary on the last days of the Mars Bar.
See, he's got the camera to prove it! He filmed me telling the story of how I bought pizza on Easter Sunday when I did my bar crawl last year.
This is Gary, who's a longtime regular of Mars Bar.
And here's Melanie, a fellow NYC blogger who I met for the first time at the art show!
Dueling photos!
A fuzzy shot of Eric. One of these days I gotta learn how to use this camera!
Goggla in action taking a photo of the art on the wall.
Hamlet points to the art he brought for the show.
My collage was placed below Hamlet's on the wall. I'm proud to have it included in what might be the last art show at the Mars Bar.
I had heard a rumor that Lindsay had lost her left elbow, but here she proves that it was just an untrue rumor after all. Thank God!
There's Goldfish at the bar and they are Flavor Blasted! Soon I will be just plain blasted. That always happens at the Mars Bar.
Lisa showed up a few hours into the festivities.
Kate checks out something on this guy's phone. The nails match his shirt, nice!
Goodbye Mars Bar.
Darkness falls on Mars Bar and I've had quite a lot of drinks.
Time to exit, stage left!
Holy shitballs, it's dark out here! Great to see everyone and see you all tomorrow after dark.
