Kenjis show at the Triton

We went down to the opening of a a show at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara which had a few of kenji's paintings on loan from his gallery in San Francisco.

. Chloe and I were famished and quietly inhaled most of the pizza served at the reception, as well as the mini chocolate muffins and wine. As part of the reception, a docent was leading a tour around to the various paintings, and Chloe and I were surreptitiously spying and waiting for a description of Kenjis work. It took a little longer than we expected, and by that time the docent got near kenjis paintings, Kenji himself had shown up and was perusing the little blurb that they had written about his work. The docent herded the tour group a little closer Kenjis work, did a double take at Kenji and then somewhat self consciously started describing Kenjis work. He described Kenji of one of the bay areas "treasures"! Here is some video (4 MB, with terrible audio)
