It's not often one can enjoy the feeling of culture that comes with visiting an art gallery and still get to look at robots, drink free booze and eat donuts. But that was the case at Eric Joyner's new L.A. show.

And since this was a rare outing for me and my wife that didn't include the 2 adorable jack-asses whom we love deeply, I'm happy to report we had an excellent date night. (For those of you who are new around here, Eric is an extremely talented artist who specializes in paintings that feature tin toy robots with a few donuts thrown in for good measure. The adorable jack-asses are, of course: former Journey front-man Steve Perry and TV's Alf.)

It was also great to meet actual Sneeze readers in the flesh. Thanks to everyone for being so friendly. And for not making me have to pretend I could actually protect my wife.

We were there for a couple of hours. It was packed the whole time and many of the paintings were sold.

And finally, I give you the man of the evening as he cordially signs posters underneath a massive orange tit.

I do love culture.
