St. Nick at The Modern
I have quite the attachment to The Modern in Fort Worth; of all the contemporary art museums I've been too around the world, this one is still the only one that I sincerely feel is perfect. It's a breathtaking conjunction of curation, landscape and architecture (Tadao Ando's building is itself perhaps the finest work in the museum's permanent collection), and so it's quite an honor that, for one evening, St. Nick will be folded into its space.
The screening, presented by the Lone Star Film Society, is part of the Modern 'Til Midnight series. It will occur this Saturday, April 18th, at 8pm, in the beautiful theater tucked away behind one of Anselm Kiefer's epic canvasses. The cost is fifteen dollars, which includes admission to the museum itself.
Aside from the setting, this screening is a special one simply because most of the film was shot just down the street from the museum. This is a true homecoming, and it's a slightly bittersweet one, as it'll probably be the last Texas screening for the foreseeable future. It's a can't-miss event, which is why I'm so chagrined to say that I myself will be missing it, as I'll still be in Lafayette. Ah well. In my stead, James and Savanna and will be on hand for a Q&A. I hope someone videotapes that.

AND ADAM! For crying out loud! Nothing mentions me! And you tried to and still failed. It's like I'm a ghost that's not really there... In fact, I think I lost myself.

I thought you were still going to be on EARTHLING until I spoke to you last night!
