LtS + GiT = BFF

(A little accident made us post an unfinished draft before. Our bad! Hope you like this version more.)



On September 16th, LtS made a little trip to enjoy the Girls In Tech Web 2.0 Expo. And, just like we expected, the tech-minded know how to party!



We brought work from artists Anna Druzcz, Abby Goodman, Nora Herting,Tatiana Kronberg and Nicole Stager (who will be joining us in October for her solo show Synesthesia) and the pieces were very well received.



As the night went on, we became happier and happier that we'd been invited. Probably because of this, the photos started to get blurry. Hey, our cameraperson wanted to party too!



The Girls In Tech crowd were all terribly clever, and that made the whole thing a lot more fun. Thanks again to Girls In Tech for having us. We hope we can do this again!

A Vegetarian Friendly Animal Dinner!

Friday, January 25th Like the Spice hosted the latest in its monthly dinner series, the Animal Dinner. Mariyam Nayeri catered the event for a great crowd. The food was delectable from the apple and fennel salad to the sea bass with salsa verde and the chestnut honey pear upside down cake.


Adding to the enjoyment of the evening were Allison Edge and Tatiana Kronberg who each talked about their pieces in Deer Art, why they are drawn to animal imagery and why they think so many artists are using animals in their work at the moment.

Capping it all off was Sharita Star who told us about Chinese astrology's use of animal symbolism, made predictions for a few lucky guests and told us about the coming year based on both Chinese and Western astrology.




Pernod, sponsor of our dinner series, was there again pouring delicious cocktails including Absinthe Minded, a crowd favorite. There was even Pernod dessert made by Mariyam...Pernod affogato with espresso!



In the end it was a wonderful and stimulating evening. Join us for a future dinner and you'll see for yourself how truly wonderful these events are.
