Whew - long day of inaugural stuff completed, long night ahead.
We're preparing several posts, but this small item, from a unnamed correspondent who was there, is so funny we will stick it up now:
Immediately following the inauguration, Mark Gaines was outside the Academy of Music selling Michael Nutter.
That is, the artist was selling his 11.x17 portraits of the new Mayor – rendered in ball point pen, photo-copied and slipped behind a black mat – for $5.
Sales were brisk. Brisker than the sales last inauguration, anyway. Gaines said not many people were buying John Street portraits in 2004.
But by 12:30 Monday, Gaines had sold all but about 12 of the 100 copies he brought with him.
Then again, we noticed that most of Gaines’ sales were being made to women, who were not shy about expressing their, er, admiration for the portraits. (“Mmmm, mmm” was the most common reaction.)
But then, our feeling about this new Cult of Nutter was compounded when one of the few male art lovers showed up with his $5: It was Al Taubenberger, the Republican candidate Nutter defeated in the election.
He mumbled something about buying it for someone and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
