Even though they're still running "Sk8 or Die," this past weekend's opening party/silent auction at YOUNG BLOOD gallery and boutique was the talk of A-town. Collectors and art board aficionados, here's what went down:

Oops! I got distracted ... and lost my bid |
|
|
But I had my eyes on a piece by Rich Arbitelle. This was a two-for-one. He cut the nose and tail off the board and fashioned them into a bowl, which he hand spray painted. The
piece also includes a hand painted checkerboard - which was the deck. The night was young ... I placed my bid and thought I had it on lock.
