I’m not sure yet if he’d be comfortable being considered Bachelor #9, but #9 came over for dinner and a movie Thursday night. We quickly ditched the movie idea and settled into a very comfy tête-à-tête and post-dinner mini snuggle-pet. #9 is a very fine fellow, with an easy likable manner, and warm. He has cute dimples and is going to change the world, an inch at a time. (He said it, not me.) I’m convinced, and eager to do my part.
But, Sunday I visited Emily’s studio, I’ll tell you that much. Emily’s the best. Her work is so strong and so real and so intoxicatingly good. It makes me so happy to see this stuff that tumbles so easily from her brain directly onto the canvas, or paper, or whatever she’s spilling herself onto. Anyway, we hopped over to Bachelor #4’s in Oakland, for brunch with 4 and his childhood friend, Lori, whom I actually knew but hadn’t seen in 10 or so years since I was a resident at the Villa Montalvo when she was the artist residency coordinator. She has a cute Moroccan hubbie, and is planning to set up a residency program in Morocco some day! Sign me up, and bring on the dancing boys! From there we attended the artist-led walk-through of the MFA show at the UC Berkeley Art Museum. Of course, 4 was the best, the most articulate, charming and intelligent.
Please stay tuned for the next installment of Chris Komater’s The Dating Game. What happens when Bachelor #8 returns to town. Does #9 get asked on a second date? We meet #10… And what wacky antics ensue when they ALL show up at Coco’s opening on Thursday???
