> The glistening white Santiago Calatrava addition has made the Milwaukee Art Museum one of the city's classiest social addresses. But a recent martini fete held there turned into an overcrowded, drunken affair. Some unruly guests accosted artworks, which have been taken off display for a checkup.

> People threw up, passed out, were injured, got into altercations and climbed onto sculptures at Martinifest, a semi- formal event organized by Clear Channel Radio and held at the museum Feb. 11, according to several people who attended or worked at the event.

> "Hindsight is 20-20 . . . it was probably too cheap," Kerry Wolfe, a local programming director for Clear Channel, said of the event's premise - unlimited martinis for $30.

"Hindsight is 20-20"? You don't need 20-20 hindsight to know that a flat-rate fee for martinis, young people, and fine art don't mix.

In case the museum is thinking about sponsoring similar events in the future, here's a list of ideas that, with 20-20 hindsight, might seem not seem too wise:

NASCAR Free Beer Day.  
 Bring Your Own Crack Cocaine Night.  
 Unsupervised Toddler Day.  
 Paintball War Night.  
 $10-All-You-Can-Chew-Tabaccee Night  
 Mosh-Pit/Head Banger Night.  
 Muslim Appreciation for Fine Nudes Night.

Hope this helps.
