Seeing Dali in person this last Sunday was hella cool. There were somewhere between 100 to 200 pieces on display. Would have been better if there had been less people to bump into but otherwise it was awesome and look forward to viewing other artists collections in the future.
This was also my first trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This place was much bigger than I had previously thought. Definately a day trip kind of place. Or a walk til you can walk no more and collapse on one of the ropped off couches kind of place. I'm sure the secret security that is posted in almost every room would not appreciate that.
Amusing moments:
-While waiting in line to get in the musuem the was a guy behind us that proclaimed that Dali was too gimmicky. Makes me wonder then why the hell he came to see him in the first place.
-Witnessing a blonde girl not once but twice obstruct phaedre's view of something she was looking at. By obstruct I mean actually putting her big head squarely between Phaedre's vision and the object. Phaedre's reaction was priceless and I almost had a ringside seat to a catfight.
-Watching a father explaing to his 4 or 5 year old daughter the significance of the painting "Prometheus Bound". With a line such as, "See honey he is being punished because he was bad. Do you know what he did? He stole fire." I can only imagine how far over the child's head this had to have been.
-Catching phaedre checking out at least one of the several girls that I was scoping while we walked around. Confirming once again that we have similar tastes.
I'll have to make a trip back there at some point to see all the other stuff that is crammed in the bowels of that building.

I swear to god, if that bitch got in my way one more time...boot to the head.
dude, the Philly Art Museum is like a two-day affair. At least. there's no way you can go through all those rooms an a day! Especially without a raging headache. My favorite? The french courtyard thingy. Also? The Japanese teahouse.
