HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
A few reasons why we're thankful this year (in no particular order)...
- The SF gallery opened and is still open - HOORAY!
- The LA gallery was broken into, but nothing was stolen and no one was hurt
- Becky, Cory, Alex and Irma (our amazing staff!)
- Finn and Benn (the pups - poor Benn is being neutered right now as I type this!)
- The best neighbors in SF and LA (StrangeCo and Golden Apple)
- Bernardo is gone
- Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier
- Peet's Coffee
- Scoops
- The recent release of Rock Band for Playstation 3
- Everyone who reads our blog :)
- Pan's Labyrinth
- Lars And The Real Girl
- Family, friends and good health (all that important, serious stuff)
- Last, but not certainly not least - the new addition, Issac George Simkins
We don't have our normal store hours this week.

BUGG vs. MIN PIN
I know you're all dying to know about Benjamin and Finn's blind date in LA last weekend. Here are some pics...
There was some growling, teeth-barring and then forced separation.
All in all it was rather uneventful. It doesn't look like these two are going to be best buddies.

THE ULTIMATE GALLERY1988 SHOWDOWN
On the left we have Benjamin the Bugg, the golden boy and hometown hero weighing in at 14lbs, 6 oz. And on the right we have Finn the Min Pin, weighing in at 15lbs, 4 oz. He’s the OG G1988 mascot, returning to his roots all the way from rainy San Francisco, CA.
These two featherweights will face off for the FIRST TIME EVER, live this Friday at Gallery1988 Los Angeles! But who will be victorious? Will Finn’s wisdom and speedy foot work pay off? Or will Benjamin win first place with his distracting good looks and puppy charm?
Unfortunately, this showdown will not be open to the public, as it’s going to take place during Greg Simkins’ top secret installation Friday afternoon. But I promise to document the battle as I’ll be there to witness it myself because I’M COMING TO LA TOMORROW!!!
I am so excited to be back in LA.
See you all Friday night at Greg's show!

My Lights And Action Were Messed Up
I've had some issues with my camera lately, so please excuse the photo heavy update today, but I gotta get you back in the groove here.
First up, we had the 2-day Kurt Halsey Frederiksen Meet & Greet last week, and it went really well. I know I called the Kurt fans "the word I must not speak again" once, but now I can call them "friendly." They really are the kindest art buyers around. Which works out, cause Kurt is a nice dude himself. My favorite fact about Kurt I realized this last week: He may depict some sensitive, girl oriented, emotional artwork - but dude is a SERIOUS football fan. Listening to him talk about vintage Cunningham (not THAT Philly Young Gun vintage Randall, but the Purple Monster Minnesota version) might be one of my favorite "I own an art gallery" moments. Anyway, so the events were fun and lots of Kurt fans (some even travelling from Texas) were ecstatic to meet him. Witness the strength of street knowledge:
And trust me when I say, I can not forget the newest member of the Gallery 1988: LA family.
I got a dog. Yes, his name is Benjamin and he is a 4 month old Bugg (hybrid of a Boston Terrier and Pug) and he is totally freaking adorable. I know it's hard shoes to fill with Finnigan the Mini Pin moving to SF, but I think Ben (or Benny, but NOT Benjy) could do it. I dare you to not to smile. At least at this picture:
No, those are ACTUAL shorts, not my boxers. But YES, I am hairier than those werewolf kids that Maury Povich used to always have on his talk show. Anyway, he's a genius and we welcome him with open arms (and a bag for picking up his stinky poo) into the 1988 clan.
