In them olde days, starving artists were considered the key urban revitalization force.
Now, farmers markets are planners' manna.

Yes, Yes, And Absolutely
This blog received answers to the first trio of these recent Carmaggedon-related questions... (All the questions are here.)
Q: Did the reception take place?
A: Yes.
Q: If so, did attendance pale in comparison to recent well-attended TAM openings?
A: Yes.
Q: If so, did the stay-at-home honking about Carmaggedon have anything to do with numbers?
A: Absolutely.
Of course, attendance was still better than Saturday at the Getty.

TAM Greater Than Getty?
Continuing from this previous post....
Throughout both museum's histories...
On how many Saturdays has TAM's attendance been larger than the Getty's?
So long as TAM stayed open yesterday, then that answer is at least once.

Did Honking About Carmaggedon Hurt TAM Opening?
Baker's Dozen III, the latest TAM main gallery exhibition, was scheduled to open with a reception last night, July 16, 2011...
Did the reception take place?
If so, did attendance pale in comparison to recent well-attended TAM openings?
If so, did the stay-at-home honking about Carmaggedon have anything to do with numbers?
If so, does that indicate that TAM's mix-and-mingle occasions are heavily attended by people from outside the South Bay?
If so, does that indicate that a group show with forty or so artists (Telephone) will draw more people to an opening than a group show with thirteen? (Baker's.)
Even if bigger-named artists are part of the latter show? (Examples: Martin Durazo, Alexandra Grant.)
