DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

...at the very tiny Santa Monica Art Museum!

It was just so fun. I wore my 'let's dance' David Bowie shirt (though no one commented on it- that didn't bother me any of course, it was just wearing it for the fun of it).





Christine de Grancey was a wonderful photographer (imho). She took David Bowie, Brian Eno, and a third artist/musician to the former site of a psychiatric hospital in Austria (which had obviously housed many types of people in its day). It put Mr. Bowie in mind of his half-brother. There was obviously also some Bowie-related art and then we moved into another small room where there was lovely photography (some of it didn't even strike me as photography honestly) and then some crazy steampunk-esque contraptions like so:



And finally there was a 'creature feature' I can't help but want to call it! XD; Big full-sized characters of Frankenstein, a werewolf, the bride of Frankenstein, and, of course, classic Nosferatu. They were airing the very old movie version (copy-right's probably expired) of Nosferatu on a screen in the back.

I intended on buying just one David Bowie postcard, but they gave me two. <3

He also doesn't seem to think much of Tony's work on the Ultimates, but it's fine. Tony can prove himself and kick his crush before it goes further.

Probably.
