WAREHOUSE DISTRICT — On the 500 block of Julia Street on Saturday night, local attorney Ronald Manjarrias finally understood the purpose of White Linen Night when witnesses overheard him asking his wife and family: “Hey, doesn’t this thing have something to do with art?”

His wife Nadira Manjarrias stated that her husband has been always “been a little off,” but she was disappointed considering that this was her husband’s sixth consecutive White Linen Night.

She also recalled him wandering into a commercial gallery or two over the years.

“I guess I can rationalize this lapse because every year Ronnie just runs off and gets a bunch of those Bingo tickets, you know, the ones for drinks, and disappears,” she said.

“Typically, I don’t find him till the end of the night,” she said. “He’s always on some street corner all covered with wine stains after he’s gotten sloshed with the boys.”

“We lose a new Perlis white linen suit to wine stains every year,” she added.

“It’s like a tribute to Bacchus, I guess.”

Mr Manjarrias’ eldest daughter Victoria also confided that she was surprised her father hadn’t made the connection a year earlier when he purchased two ceramic vases from a Poeyfare Street glass works.

“I thought that would have set off a light bulb or something for Dad,” she said. “But then again, the owners did force him to buy the vases after he dumped half a hot dog and some other trash in them.”

Mr. Manjarrias was not available for comments because he heard complimentary champagne was being handed out at whatever the CAC is.
