Favorite moment from the first (unofficial) day of Basel? Will Ferrell in a Howler trucker hat wandering around the vernissage. Fingers crossed he's researching the art world for a slapstick comedy about pretentiousness.

Then there were a sprinkling of Owen Wilson and Jeremy Piven sightings and weirdly, Martha Stewart seemed to pop up all over town, sparking clone paranioa.

And now that the rich and famous have had their very-important-person-preview of Basel, the main art fair is open to the public. First click through our inside look at the fair and decide if you wouldn't be better off just heading out to the more vibrant Pulse in the amazing Ice Palace Studios.

As for the rest of Thursday, do happy hour inside a Cuban percussion instrument then score free dinner at the OHWOW soup kitchen before spending the night with your choice of Alison Mosshart, Metric, Thurston Moore, or Space Invader. Choices, choices.
