I want to go to the Liberace Museum in Vegas

Towards the end you can see the world's largest rhinestone, a gift to him. (This interest inspired by Dave Hickey's really charming essay about notions of authenticity and Liberace in Air Guitar)

I literally put down Air Guitar to check my email and then went to your blog.

ALSO: I was reading about Ursula La Guin on wikipedia da udder day. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

But seriously, my aunt lives in Vegas and thus I have been a couple times. One of my first experiences with seeing famous art in the flesh was at the Guggenheim's outpost at the Venetian resort. I was 15 and big into Kandinsky (I had the tshirt). Vegas is dope, I wanna go back.
