I am intimately familiar with the work of Frank Gehry, Sam the Sham, Tommy Tune, Mercedes Ruehl, Cindy Wilson, and Jason Aldean, but wouldn't have been able to name them if only shown a picture. The rules is the rules.

Gehry is actually on my list today, thanks to an internship I did during college at a local video production house. He designed a building at a college downtown so we interviewed him about it on a couple of occasions.

Which, in an odd coincidence, is the Peter B Lewis building, former chairman/CEO of my current company. We also interviewed him about it, and it made for an interesting ice breaker at work functions when I told them I was once in the former CEOs apartment and nearly broke one of his tables. Lol

The building in question:

It was an all glass table attached to the wall under a mirror. The damn thing was practically invisible. I bumped it with a camera case cause I didn't see it, but luckily, the only damage was to my pride.

I've heard that one of Gehry's working methods involves wadding up paper and drawing design inspiration from the shapes.  That fascinates me. 

When the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle was being built (as the Experience Music Project), an urban legend started that the building was intended to look like a smashed guitar. Gehry fed that by saying he'd started by examining pictures of smashed Stratocasters.  It even got written up by several columnists that way.  The result, however, doesn't really resemble a smashed instrument.  People just couldn't grok Gehry.

Exactly right.
Thought about giving numbers on names you know in addition to faces you'd recognize, but figure that's getting too complicated.

Nah.  I don't recall how this little exercise sprang up, but it becomes an interesting cultural survey if the "rules" are followed.  If we just went on name or face recognition, it wouldn't have much value.  There are things to learn by seeing who and what actually resonates with people enough that names stick to faces and faces to names and people to accomplishments in our memories.

Agreed, no need to muck it up at this point.

You definitely do. Skin probably getting a little thin during those SC summers.

afternoon Tony, Rick, Dave, Dave, and Bret.

played a nice 18 this morning/afternoon. not being too familiar with the course didn't help my score but I managed to hit the ball well. if I knew the layout a little better I may have saved quite a few strokes, not counting a ball in the water and one way out of bounds.

I long for the days of hitting one in the water or OB. Afternoon, Deano.
