It was the opening night of Goss Gallery, an avant-garde showplace on Cedar Springs. For its owner and founder, it should have been the culmination of everything he had ever wanted to do or be or become.
The grand opening party for the Goss Gallery on Cedar Springs was a night of jitters for founder Kenny Goss.
But at 10:30, all Kenny Goss was feeling was a panic attack.
There he was, surrounded by the people he loves most in the world: pop star George Michael, his life partner for a decade; younger brother Tim Goss; and Tim's wife, Joyce. Not to mention David LaChapelle, whose stunning celebrity photography is the gallery's first exhibit.
In another corner was basketball superstar Steve Nash (Kenny's friend) and Tim Jefferies, whose renowned Hamiltons gallery in London inspired the Cedar Springs gallery.
