Art all day
18.08.2013
Today was the day for art. I wanted to go to the Hollywood fashion exhibit, but it was over the day before. So instead, I went to the permanent exhibits at ACMI, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, where I stayed the whole morning, reading about and watching old films and TV shows. I met Rachel for lunch at work and we went to a free (!!!) lunch concert at the University of Melbourne. I am eating a lot of meat pies. From there, I went back for some more art at the National Gallery of Victoria, but only made it through the top two floors, barely. Tess had planned a dumpling making party with some crazy people from her volunteer job at Lentil as Anything, a donation-based vegetarian restaurant. You can imagine how hippy they were. We made good dumplings anyway.
