Friday night, October 22nd,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Govinda Gallery threw a bash in honor of Alfred Wertheimer and his Elvis at 21 exhibition at The National Portrait Gallery, which opened the next day. The Govinda party featured the amazing rockabilly band J.P. McDermott and The Western Bop, as well as the soulful sounds of Adrian Loving the D.J. Wertheimer arrived with documentary film maker Spiro Carras, as his photographs of Elvis were being projected onto the walls of Halcyon House. Washington artist Carlotta Hester, who had just returned from a summer creating a series of drawings documenting The All Ireland Music Festival, greeted Irish Ambassador and Mrs. Michael Collins when they arrived. Leslie and Andrew Cockburn joined the celebration with Andrew wearing his blue suede shoes. When Nancy Pelosi arrived on the scene with her friends Alicia and Vince Wolfington, and Rita Meyer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the party went into high gear. NPR’s Jean Cochran, a big collector of Wertheimer’s Elvis photos, danced the night away. Check out the coverage of the party in the current issue of The Georgetowner.

Govinda Gallery Director Chris Murray invited the photographer everyone’s talking about,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],Vivienne Foster, to set up a photo studio at the party to document the evening. Here are a few portraits from the party. A ‘photo album’ with all of the portraits is being compiled, which we will post soon in a blog entry of its own.
