Actually, not quite; I don’t hold the openings themselves in any particular favour, but from time to time they are an opportunity to meet a lot of acquaintances at once. Yes, to meet and greet, though when you go over the evening the next day, you realize you greeted several dozen people, but spent most of the evening at the bar with three to five others, and somehow never got to the rest.
What I really enjoy at openings, though, is meeting acquaintances immediately after the start. Everyone is still sober and, with a glass of wine in hand, a girlfriend or a model or a model girlfriend at their side and a more or less intellectual expression on their face, they stroll among the exhibited photographs. I stroll with them. The whole parade looks almost grandiose, paradoxically given that we mostly know each other with a half-litre of beer or a short in hand, wrapped in a haze of loud fun in some comfortable and not too expensive restaurant.
The magic of the optical illusion dissolves at the first contact: „Dane, do you drink white?“ … „Sure, red stains my teeth and then I look like an idiot.“
I prefer red… at last I know what it’s for … 😉
