The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current, October 10, 1986, Image 14
Best Bets Oh. boy. have we got a weekend for you! In Houston, of course, pre- and post-game partying will be the big attraction. Ail those Houston night club owners are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Ags, the fake IDs and the money. You can’t let them down. On your way back to the twin cities, stop off at the Texas Renaissance Festival for some high-spir ited (but high-priced) merrymaking. If you’re stuck in College Station, well... we’re sorry. But it’s not all that bad. You can make the best of it by doing your laundry and catching up on your studying. Or, better yet, take in some live music at one of these local dubs. It sure beats laundry. EastgateLive Located on Texas Avenue across from the east entrance of Texas A&M. Under 21 admitted.

French portrait exhibit to premier in Houston What can you do in Houston this weekend to counteract the ill effects your cultured, sophisti cated self will suffer after being a part of a writhing, ill-mannered, Saturday af ternoon college football crowd ? An opera might work, but you’ll have heard all of the screaming you’ll ever want to during the game. A ballet would usually do the trick, but chances are that you’ll have seen an Aggie “pas de deux” or two in the endzone by the time the game ends. And you’ll be too deaf from the crowd noise to appreciate a good sym phony. Well, sports fans, the rea/cultured thing to do in Houston this Sunday af ternoon will be to catch the premier viewing of the Museum of Fine Arts’ ex hibition “A Magic Mirror: The Portrait in France 1700-1900.” It’s guar anteed to be a no-hustle, no-strain-on-your-senses kind of affair. Now you’re talking, Bubba. Somewhere else in this issue you’ll be tempted to redeem yourself for your pagan football ways with a stop at the Texas Re naissance Festival. Nice try, but it won’t do. The Renaissance Festi val is right down there just above a football game on the all-time culture list. No, I’m afraid it’s got to be the museum. The museum has struc tured Sunday afternoons perfectly for recuperating college football fans. It opens its doors on Sunday from 12:15 to 6 p.m. and is located at 1001 Bissonnet, near Hermann Park and across from the Warwick Hotel. Admission is $2 for those 19 and older, $1 for senior citizens and stu dents with ID and every body else gets in free (much cheaper than a football game). “A Magic Mirror: The Portrait in France 1700- 1900” will feature 50 paintings and sculptures from American and Euro pean, public and private collections. The exhibition will be in the Lower Jones and Masterson Galleries from this Sunday through Jan. 25. The selected artworks will demonstrate the French preoccupation with the individual, which was the dominant thought-shaping concept of the two centuries. From the early 18th- century style of Louis XIV portraiture to the realism and impressionism of the late 19th century, the de velopment of the individ ual is depicted in grand portrait style and in images of daily life. Now, if that sounds like a mouthful, it’s because it is. Just be sure to pick up the illustrated catalog and follow along as you browse through the exhi bition. For those of you who end up really getting into this showing, you can travel back to Houston on Thursday nights for the lectures. There’s “The Lan guage of Likeness: Physi ognomic Studies and Conventions of Portraitu re” coming up on Nov. 6 and “Traditions of Euro pean Portraiture” on Nov. 13. All lectures begin at 7 p.m. For a complete list of lecture topics and more information, give the mu seum a call at (713) 526- 1361. — by Toni^ Cornett Auto Service “Auto Repair At Its Best” General Repairs on Most Cars & Light Trucks Domestic & Foreign OPENMON-FRI 7:30-5:30 ONE DA Y SERVICE IN MOST CASES 846-5344 Just one mile north of A&M On the Shuttle Bus Route 111 Royal, Bryan Across S.
