It would be fabulous to see you again. BTW, In order to avoid over-crowding at the shows, you must buy the tickets prior to attending the shows. It's best to buy on-line if you can. <br /><br />@ tonton_flaneur, They do have good "French Fare" at the DeYoung Museum -- pastries in particular. :)Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-45027139340268452652010-05-27T14:16:38.660+02:002010-05-27T14:16:38.660+02:00Very creative, just like the art itself.

I'm going to just buy a fine arts membership, because I know I'll visit several times. Maybe I'll give you a holler and we can visit together one day.<br /><br />By the way, if you are interested in art nouveau posters (and have $30,000-50,000 to spare), visit Christopher Clark Fine Art on Geary Street. (www.clarkfineart.com) They have an unbelievable collection presently. Barry, one of the consultants, is rich with information.♥ E.T.
