Photos: Elijah Wood & Riley Keough hosted The Art of Elysium benefit

On Tuesday, the 24th of June, Actor Elijah Wood and model Riley Keough hosted a benefit for Art for Elysium at the Milk Gallery in Chelsea, where silk prints of rock photography by the legendary Mick Rock went on sale starting at $14,000 a piece. We’re not pop culture literates here, but we do know enough to inform that Riley, who’s looking very pretty here, comes to this world by way of Elvis, Mick Rock looks a bit like Lou Reed, and that Danny Masterson fellow is Steven Hyde from That 70’s Show! View full post to see all photos from the event and to find out who I caught talking about light sabers at length.

The answer is Elijah Wood! Many, many months ago, I was very interested in the lengthy cellphone conversation about light sabers coming from behind me. There was also a “say hi to your drummer” and stuff. I was so intrigued that I let this person walk by me, only to find out it was Elijah. About ten minutes later he walked past me again, this time heading into Other Music.
