Give it a Whirl – Saturday, September 11, 2010

The receptions for this year’s season openers seem to all be in the same time slot which means you’ll have to pick and choose which ones to hit Saturday night.  While everyone will probably head for Lari Pittman at Regen Projects, here are a few picks to help you plan your gallery hopping trek this weekend.
