The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is hosting a Dale Chihuly retrospective with works spanning his 35 year career, including the Macchia Forrest, Persian Wall, Ikebana, Niijima, Floating Pool, Tower, Cylinders and Basket series, some of which is installed outside in the garden area. The exhibit runs through August 14th. I was lucky enough to see a gallery showing a few years back in the ATL, which although impressive, it was smaller than I had hoped. I'm eagerly anticipating this showing. If you should miss this current exhibit (?!), you can always see one of his massive blue chandeliers on permanent display (until someone shells out the $$$$ to buy it) in the fancy art gallery in Beaver Cerek Village. It's in the window, you can't miss it. This one below was from Monterey, California, 1999.



Completely lost it award of the week goes to Tom Cruise for arguing with Matt Lauer on the Today Show about psychiatry & ritlin. Usually Matt Lauer drives me bonkers, but as you can see in this video, he definitely holds his own during Tom's tirade (fast forward to the good part about 8 minutes in).
