July 2, 2010:
"Last Call" was inspired by three of today's top news stories on the cover of the Washington Post.
1. 'Casablanca Rick's Bar of Kabul', a long time favorite bar of expats in Afghanistan closes its doors for good. (*Lamp and wall design inspired by Rick's Bar in the movie Casablanca)
2. Work runs dry at an oyster shucking plant in the Chesapeake bay (that imports much of their oysters from the Gulf) due to the BP oil spill. (*The pearls in the painting drip with oil)
3. Senator Byrd is taken to the Capitol where he will lay in repose. (*Bird finneal on the lamp).
