complimentary
pair of tickets to attend their special event: Tropical Chihuly Nights
(TCN). TCN is
essentially a recurring art installation- staged every Thursday night
at 6:00PM and
running from now until May 31, 2006- consisting of glass sculpture by
Dale Chihuly.
Dale's work is strategically installed into the garden itself, where
the organic forms
and in some cases, blatantly aroid-influenced nature of his work are
set into and
juxtaposed against the tropical landscape at night. For those of you
who have never
seen a Chihuly sculpture properly lit- and night time is an excellent
way to set that
stage by the way- the embedded colors of each piece literally glow
unlike anything
you've ever seen before.... they are absolutely surreal-!!
Ticket prices are $30 ea. for non-members/ $20 ea. for members.

So, we will be staging a Dennis Cathcart/ Tropiflora style auction for
two (2) tickets
to TCN as follows:
- All interested parties are invited to email me directly at
aroid@comcast.net
(please don't reply to aroid-L!) with their highest price offer for the
pair. I will reply
to all submissions with a confirming email within 24 hours of receipt.
- The auction will close at 12:00PM noon, Monday 27 February, San
Francisco/
Pacific Standard time (GMT - 08:00). The earliest time stamp on
submitted emails will
determine the winner in case of tied bids, so don't wait too long to
submit your offer-!
- Once payment has been received by IAS via Paypal (or other means),
the tickets
will be immediately mailed to you from US ZIP Code 33090.
- Remember, this is just an ad-hoc fundraiser for IAS with emphasis on
the F - U - N.
Use this is an excuse to vacation in South Florida during the lovely
Spring weather!
Good luck and of course, please feel free to bid over face value : )
