Dudes, isn't it frustrating when you're macking on some foxy lady and then suddenly the conversation turns to art. And you're like, uh, The Gates were okay, but I wasn't feeling that giant flower puppy. Help is on the way! Instead of pounding Corona in a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo, one Brooke Mellen, who does the Dating is an Art blog and holds an MFA in arts administration, will teach you the basics on how to meet artsy women. Note that we're not just talking about artists, but artsy ladies—a term which encompasses a much broader field of candidates; from the quirky, bespectacled young dilettantes; to the utterly gorgeous gallery assistants; to the cougar gallery owners. For just $75, Mellen will teach you where "to meet quality, artsy women," how to "behave" at an arts event, and "where to buy affordable art for your apartment that appeals to women." The one hour tutorial will be followed by an hour of speed dating with actual artsy women! And it's all over by 9 p.m., so if you strike out there's still time to hit Coyote Ugly for Cuervo shots. Details.
