As the human race timorously approaches the concluding months of 1999, a whole new rhetoric has emerged and taken aim at the future, its favorite oft-employed shibboleth being the now hyperbolically familiar 'Y2K.' Perhaps this 'Y2K' craze has something to do with my excitement over "Monet to Moore." I must admit that it's refreshing to see anything geared toward the millennium that honors the pul chritude of the past and reflecting upon the sheer enjoyment that can be afforded by such hind sight, rather than myopically fearing the future and its imminent eschatology.

I felt too young to be there. In hindsight, I probably looked too young. This was a nametag event, with everyone's nametag doubling as a billboard advertisement of their status in the corporate world and the mass media.
