You know when you've been warholed

For the last few months here in in sunny Brisbane, the gallery of modern art (GoMA) has been home to an exhibition of the work of Andy Warhol. This has been incredibly exciting for the place - as much as I love wee Brisbane, it does sometimes seem to have a bit of a chip on its shoulders with regards to its place in Australia against cities like Sydney and Melbourne, so I think that the fact that we're the only city which is hosting this massive exhibition has been a bit of a validation for the good folk of Brisbane.

Now I'm not much of an arty person (don't know much about art, but I know what I like etc etc), but since I think the entire population of Queensland has been to see the exhibition at least once in its run, so we decided to bob along too. Since I am mostly ignorant about art appreciation, I wasn't able to do all the strokey beard 'interesting juxtaposition of light and shade' business, so for me by far the most exciting thing there was the Warholising phone booth. Since the beginning of the exhibition it has been possible by monitoring things like facebook profile photos etc to establish exactly who has, and who hasn't been along to the exhibition, so it was very exciting to be able to get our own done.

As you can see Stu's new baldy heid lends itself to the general theme of warholness pretty well. On that note, I am pleased and proud to say that so far he has raised about $1000 for the cause - however it's not too late, so if you haven't already, please donate using the link on the right!

Also - I am happy to announce a couple more living in Australia milestones have now been reached - I have eaten both Lamingtons, and Vegemite.
