DIA to be Open 32 Hours Straight- Rivera Mural to be Paid Overtime



Megan informs me that the DIA will be open 32 hours straight as part of it's grand re-opening celebration. I suggest skipping the after Thanksgiving tradition of shopping and heading up to Detroit instead. The DIA website states:

'We'll be open 32 hours straight from 10 a.m. on November 23 to 6 p.m. on November 24. Art After Hours kicks in from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. with DJ’s, coney dogs and sliders!'

Coney dogs and sliders! Who could resist. And by the time you leave at four, the casinos will be calling your name.

Forget About the New Wes Anderson Movie- See This This Weekend

I know I just pumped up the Darjeeling Limited earlier in the week, but what you should really go see is My Kid Could Paint That- because what art lover hasn't heard that line muttered next to them at a museum. It is a documentary about Marla, a four-year-old painting prodigy and her rise to fame, followed by the inevitable backlash. All of this intertwined with the personal conflicts that arise for the filmmaker.

Unfortunately you'll have to drive a little farther than Super Cinemas. The movie is playing this weekend at the DIA, but it's really only like 45 minutes people. More info here.
