We just want to see the art

Libby and I were looking for entertainment this evening, so I checked the website Flavorpill LA and read about a nearby art exhibit opening featuring the work of Dana Louise Kirkpatrick, a local painter I am quite fond of. When Libby and I showed up at the door, we discovered it was a large event with free food and drink and a guest list... and I was so surprised that all I could do was tell the doorman that, "we just want to see the art," and he let us in out of pity.
