Every last Friday of the month the Honolulu Academy of Art sponsors a party called Art After Dark. By the time we got there last night to meet my friend Seth everything was pretty much over. We identified at least two gallery wings that flanked an open air courtyard. One of the galleries we were able to go into before it closed housed a Picasso, a Van Gogh, a Gauguin, and a gorgeous Cassat. It was an interesting environment: intimate well curated galleries and a thumping DJ in the courtyard with hundreds of inebriated twenty-somethings gyrating good-naturedly . I’d like to go back at a proper hour. We walked up to two bars only to have each of them close , my mouth poised to yell above the din ‘white wine please!’
