In the late 70s and early 80s, when I lived in our Soho area during its gallery era, it seemed like such events were always taking place. My friends and I often made stops at several galleries on opening nights...wonder if folks thought we were like your mysterious nuns?<br /><br />Nowadays, I only go to openings when a friend might be having an exhibit, and usually just stay long enough to say hello to folks I know and have a sip of gallery wine.<br /><br />That's enough.
