Ghostly...

Nice poster Looks kinda ghostly, like a some cold resltess soul on a chinese roof top... Yeeyer scary, but if anyone is in shanghai do take some time out.

i just went for another opening last friday at the onsage gallery @mount Sophia Old Sch. ( which made me miss out another one at Tyler Print.) Going to two parties at one night is longer my cup of tea. i am getting old.
