Art Dart II Set for
Friday, Jan. 18
by Barbara Rixstine
All right, so being brough back by popular demand is overstating it just a bit. But by request, the Flatwater Austin-Healey Club is sponsoring another "Art Dart" on Friday, January 18. Our destination? The Sheldon Art Museum at 12th and R Sts. in Lincoln for viewing of a current exhibition featuring comic art of the 1940s and 1950s. The Omaha World-Herald just ran a large feature about this exhibition, as has the Journal-Star, so if you're a newspaper reader, you probably already know something about it. If you're not a newspaper reader, or don't care about comics or art, comeÝdown to the Sheldon before it closes later this spring for at least a year or two to get remodeled and re-accredited. Or just come because you want to be with a bunch of grand folks who like to eat and drink and have a good time. We'll meet at Crane River Restaurant (11th & P Sts.) and then walk the three blocks to Sheldon and hope there's good weather. Afterwards, we can retire to Barrymore's for Chambord martinis, to Spaghetti Works for Hot Naked (yes, there's a sauce like that) or anywhere the group prefers. If there's bad weather, we'll probably just meet at the Sheldon. If you have questions, or you want to contact someone that evening, call me on my cell at 402-440-3864. See you there!
