Went to MFA's First Fridays with cocktails and music in the old masters room. It was the first time I'd been at the event, and the first time I'd spent much time in the room with the paintings there. It was kind of fun and fascinating to make my way around the room spending time with each painting, overhearing snippets of conversations, listening to bits of Christmasy jazz, and sipping on a holiday ale. And now I'm acquainted with the old master works hanging in the gallery, too!
