The email read: “You’re invited to Red, the Steakhouse Cocktail Party sponsored byMiamiARTzine.com.”
It was an Art Basel-related promotional affair, and I foolishly assumed there would be cocktails, maybe somebody from MiamiARTzine, and an art exhibition.

Note to Red,The Steakhouse:Go back to Cleveland.
Note to MiamiARTzine:I don’t know where you should go, but I’ll come up with some place.
