Jones is a great supporter of the arts, and more often than not can be found at fundraisers, openings and performances around town. A penguin of great energy, he often goes to multiple functions in an evening. One of his favorite local cultural organizations is the Washington Ballet, and this past Wednesday he attended a membership night for its Women’s Committee (he thought they might be in the market for a mascot).
He enjoyed socializing and munching on the yummy homemade treats, and put in his order for the beautiful book Wonderland, which highlights great works presented by the Washington Ballet, and gives a glimpse into the backstage life of the dancers. Jones unfortunately had to leave before the open rehearsal of Don Quixote, as he had double booked himself that evening. Luckily he has a subscription, and will be able to see the performance in a few weeks.
Jones’ second stop was the Corcoran Gallery of Art, one of his favorite local spots, for the opening of the Edward Burtynsky exhibition Oil. He liked the photographs, and enjoyed socializing with other patrons over a glass (or two) of wine. He was slightly frightened by the catering (lots of meat on a stick and sausage bites), and thought that the speakers went on for too long, but he still had a wonderful time, and can’t wait until his next trip to the Corcoran.
