Hey! Laist is supposed to be about Los Angeles! What are they doing beautifully scooping us about an Edward Gorey exhibit at SDSU?

Not that LA doesn’t have a very fair share of excellent art-related events, but LAist is cheating a bit and covering a special exhibit being held in San Diego. The largest collection of the work of Edward Gorey, illustrator extraordinaire, is currently on display at San Diego State University. “From Prodigy to Polymath: The Singular Journey of Edward Gorey,” originally scheduled to end May 31st, has been extended to August 6th because of its popularity. “Not since Phantasmagorey, Clifford Ross’s exhibition at Yale in 1974 has there been such a rich collection of significant artwork, manuscripts, sketches, notebooks, and ephemera.”

Check out their whole post: Drowned in the Lake. We don’t begrudge them pointing out great San Diego stuff though. As long as we can point to L.A. stuff occasionally. :-)

We do wish though, that their trackbacks were working properly.

    just wondering, if it says Route 66 I want to see this is this someone asking about the show or is Route 66 someone’s blog’s name? Because I can answer their questions about Route 66 if someone is asking. Not sure how all this works, sorry. P

    Actually route66 is the nom-de-plume for a San Diego curmudgeon, who actually travelled the “Mother Road” back in the day. Paula, if you have some extra passes for route66 this weekend, I would be happy to be a “King of the Road” over to La Jolla. :-)

    Hi Paula, the post above was written by “artlung” (which is me) — and then there were comments by route66, then you, then route66 again, and now, me.

    Each of the areas in blue is someone who was visiting the blog and wanted to comment on the San Diego Blog item.

    Does that make sense?
