BYOB

Any peep in the neighborhood is welcome for a rare Resnick sighting, scheduled for 6 pm at the Ebbett back bar.

For those of you who have successfully wiped this man from memory, he is the guy that:

1. Woke up with a vision problem. He couldn't see coming to work today.
2. Has been married 20 years, but it seems like 20 minutes -- under water!

For food or fooling around, Peeps hatch a devoted cult

We are very confused. Is there a licensing issue here?

Proof that Samer and I are not the same people.

Well, not really, I guess.

And then, there is the masthead picture. Oh, Jeez.

Meat Samer

We've been lobbying for some time for Samer to start blogging again. Yeah, sure, the picture thing is OK, I guess, but anybody can take nice pictures (or act).

Well, our prayers have been answered. And it is a classic case of be careful what you wish for.

Samer is blogging not about Apple, not about GPS, not about the situation in the Middle East, not about Iceland, not about beer.

Samer is blogging about meat.

Not that he isn't a world authority, mind you. It's just that nearly half of the peeps population doesn't even eat meat, so it's kind of a throw down.

And, since the other twin peep is an established food writer -- it's kind of a throw down.

We might just start blogging about redheads. So there.

Sorry to make this sound like a Jeopardy answer (I'll take "This and That" for $400, Alex: "What capitalists want -- and artists do") but when the honorees at a gala reception are pressed into service to cover the event -- well, that's the sort of blurring of journalistic lines to save a couple of bucks that peepsNet actually approves of, come to think of it.

Samer's pic helps illustrate the DCIst report on the DCIst 2008 Exposed reception last Friday. It's a lovely, evocative snap which, like any work of fine art tells an important story: you can get a lot closer to pretty women you don't know with a camera than without one.

Anyway, word is that there was an overflow crowd on opening night, with the queue running down the stairs and down the block -- in the rain. So if you didn't get in (or brought your camera and met someone on line while waiting to get in and hit it off a little and decided to bag it to get some coffee somewhere dry and then maybe take some portraits back at your place) remember that the show goes on through Saturday, March 15.

Recreating the Moment

Samer's DCIst opening reception looked like a blast -- sorry we missed it, but peepsNet had famNet obligations.

Show goes through March 15, so there is plenty of time. I'm getting a personal tour by the artist next week, which was my secret agenda. We do find that being in closed quarters with the rabble that shows up for gallery openings to be a bore. We don't wait on lines, either. Just so you know.

The entire collection is here -- though oddly enough, there are no shots of the boy wonder.

You Can't Make Me Work With Samer!

Our peeps are traveling far and wide -- first it was Resnick stalking Hillary in Iowa and now this, purportedly Rich Clement at the Oscars.
