The Armory Show and others art fairs

Beside the Armory Show, there are a lot of art fairs this week in N.Y.
Before you act like a moron, few tips:
Don't say: "Are you going to the Volta Show?" Just: " Going to the Daycare?"
Don't say: "The Independent art fair", but "the Wannabe art fair"
Don't say: "the Scope art fair", but " the flea market".
Don't say: "The Art Show", but " the sharks association show".
Etc..

 Enjoy.
