- The latest in the GAP Founder versus San Fracisco museum saga: rumblings about Don Fisher taking his collection outside of SF because he couldn’t get anyone to agree to his 100,000 square foot museum.

- Speaking of which, the French pavilion for Shanghai Expo looks like it’s gonna be trippy. If the greenery goes according to plan.
- Your moment of flapping gums.
“If the Mona Lisa were in the U.S., I’m sure it woulda been a Big Gulp cup” Phrase of the day. Brought a big smile.
I think if the Mona Lisa were in the US, it would have been a hail of bullets (and the shooter would plead insanity using the “Big Gulp” defense).
