Howdy!
A new section, upcoming vernissages that you might want to go to. For the blokes and Squareheads in the house, a vernissage is the Québecois synonym for an art opening. The word vernissage comes from varnishing. In the 18th century (or earlier) when most painting was done in oil. Once a painting was done, it needed to be varnished, but then as now, varnishing was an extremely boring and tedious job. So, according to the story that I heard, a painter would bribe his friends to help him varnish his paintings, by offering them wine.
A little bit of wine, some friends, some varnish and Voilà! Instant Party.
