Jean Paul Gaultier at the de Young Museum

posted May 4, 2012 9:43 PM

JP fashion exhibit! I read the reviews when this debuted and it is supposed to be fantastic. It also "contains adult themes." What more could we ask for?

I had a great time hosting the Autodesk Gallery tour, and would love to do another meet-up. This may be more challenging as it (a) costs money ($20) and (b) requires actual commitment to attend (because see (a)).

However, I am up for the challenge. If we get a minimum of 10 people, we could "have access to priority booking and private tours". Imagine if we guaranteed 20 people! I bet I could talk them into some extras.

Let me know if you would like to see fashion, cone-shaped bras, and other fabulousness. I will also volunteer to arrange the appropriate before and/or after drinks venue. Please provide feedback on date/time: the exhibit is open until August. I originally proposed June 8th but must postpone because of a family emergency.

This is indeed a really good exhibit. I went in not knowing diddly about haute couture and wound up fascinated.

Oh no, that's the day of an event to which I know many MeFite ladies are going. But I'd definitely be interested in going at some point.

This sounds like it could be a good time. You said “a random Saturday”, but the date/time is Friday the 8th.

Saturday June 9th works for me, but let's do something a bit later than 930 AM, which is patently absurd.

Also, there are drinks and bands on Friday nights ... I've been to the JPG show but would go again. It's rad.

spitefulcrow, the form made me put in a date. (I'll take the blame on the 9:30, though.) obloquy, Friday with drinks and bands sounds superb! I like drinkers with my fashion.

Argh, with the Fridays again. I vote not Friday.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I'm coming from Palo Alto though, so if there is any chance that it would shift to Saturday, that would obviously work better for me.

I can do either day, if senior citizens are allowed. ;-)

Also in Palo Alto; I could do Friday the 8th or Saturday the 9th. This looks really interesting.

Hm. Drinks, you say? Friday it is. I have no further objections to the 8th, though I will probably be a bit later than 6:30 PM.

Sounds like a good time. I'm in though I'm coming from Mountain View. Is anyone in the south bay interested in carpooling?

I'd be interested in carpooling from the south bay--in the sense that I have no car, and would be happy to take advantage of someone else's. =)

MeMail me with your contact info and location if you wish to carpool from the South and I'll see what I can arrange. You don't have to be super specific if you're paranoid but I do need some kind of guidance.

Is this happening?

Sounds like this isn't happening on the 8th. FWIW, most Fri & Sats good 4 me.
