First event of the Berkshire Hathway annual meeting: Warren Buffett gets his portrait painted by performance artist Michael Israel. It takes 8 minutes. Afterwards, Buffett goes to shake Israel’s hand… and then thinks twice.
Then Warren did some TV interviews and walked around the exhibition space, visiting the booths and displays of Berkshire’s subsidiary companies, like Dairy Queen, GEICO and Clayton Homes, which has a whole house here in the Qwest Center — with a price tag of $69,500 on it.
At the Justin Brands display, which includes two Texas longhorns, Buffett asked how much the cattle sleep. Did I mention this all started at 6 a.m.?
