Templesmith will be attending the opening to which he had this to say:
"...Feel free to come on down, abuse me, attempt to drink me under the table, deport me etc etc. Lots of fun with whatever you guys do to Australians. There'll be a bunch of originals for sale, hopefully a new sketchbook and am happy to sign anything you want. (Well almost anything... you know what I mean)."
Opening Reception: Friday, 12 October 2007, 8pm -11pm or longer. We'll see how we we do with the drinking under the table...
Complimentary adult beverages of course.
