Tom Jennings Opening

The Tom Jennings Storyteller show opened this afternoon at Machine. In keeping with our new tradition of confusing people we had the opening in the afternoon instead of the classic 7-9 pm opening slot. This threw some people off, but those who made it seemed to enjoy the show. Except for Jeff Kwong, who can be seen here making an expression I've never seen before. I think the next opening is going to be at 2:30 am just to keep mixing it up.

The day starting with some last minute soldering, but everything was working by 12:30 so I wasn't too freaked out. I've been the artist frantically fixing right before the opening so many times that it's actually relaxing to have someone else have to worry about it.

Tom and Josh brought their dogs, a Xoloitzquintli and a Peruvian hairless. They hung out in the front window seat, which I actually think drew in half the crowd. Here's Molly guarding the papertape reader from errant gallery goers.

I'll post some proper installation photos later, but here are some lowish res images...
