All photos via my iphone, from last night. First, encountering a baffling no ties policy at Ezra Pound bar. Cross it off the list for TWOP drinks. I did however like the look of William Street Bird a few doors down. Within easy mocking distance of the Heath Ledger Theatre. Or whatever it’s called. And no dissing of my tie.
And here’s a rather overexcited/insane Dixie Marshall opening the Peggy Guggenheim exhibition at the Gallery. 
And here are some less vaunted artists than Brancusi, Giacometti, Magritte and Dali, just a few yards away. Some sort of Curtin art fundraiser. Goon was flowing.
OK, maybe one pic from someone else. David Mc saw this in his UK office. What a blow to crackpots.

Giacometti – any relation to Dennis Cometti?

A good question, RWL. Perhaps not Giovanni or Diego, (see here his Don Lane), but possibly Alberto, (see here his The Toss of the Coin).

Not fit for use with lemon content
Their limes furiously boiled, took umbrage,
Commanded to go stack the memos
But the avian forces drew blood.
“Who is bald?” the Weasel sneered,
“The baby goat from south of Sydney?”
Commence those utterances and
You get interrobanged into an adjacent day.
The desk set sudden paper cups for the fluid,
But they had strife with the vehicle:
It will lead to slouching unfitness
Whilst the worst go meh.

was it a simple ‘no ties’ policy, or a comprehensive ‘no corporate wankers, no braying stockbrokers, no salary slaves, no metrosexuals’ policy?
I think that’s why I like Ezra Pound so much

No ties.

I’ve heard that Ezra Pound frowns upon the moving of chairs and if you move a chair to your table you’ll be told to move it back [citation needed]

Partially confirmed. Our group was permitted to move chairs, but was sternly admonished for not leaving sufficient clearance for an A380 to get from the bar to the back room.

Can you be sternly admonished?
I always thought an admonishment, by its nature, was non-stern.

‘Gentle but earnest’. In that they did not actually kick anyone’s teeth in. And gave up trying to enforce it after admonishing 3 times.
Smart cunt.

Dixie was pretty damn bad, I loved how the word “tool” slipped out infront of pretty much every perth ‘vip’ and fancy type; not to mention all the ambassadors.

did she swear at all?
Dixie has a rep for having a mouth like a sailor, which is why she seldom gets presenting gigs where there is an open bar.
it’s a surprise she is at the Art Gallery, you wouldn’t normally think of Dixie when you think of culture
I hope she put in a gag about the Venice canals not being a patch on Mandurah
