brooklyn

my trip to brooklyn was long overdue

spent a couple of days wandering around dumbo and williamsburg

…the wellspring of hipsters

NY invented graffiti

art and creativity abound

the streets are quieter and filled with graffiti

i was in heaven, even before my mango snow cone and new cobalt blue leather mini skirt

i filled up on inspiration and bits of material for new work

i cannot wait to get cutting and glueing

(must get through NBO13 in just ten days first!!)

new friend

(here i am making friends with an artist on the street)

(his multi-media cityscape work made me stop)

i heART you NY!

thank you

be back soon…

oddball

i am a stand-up comedy nerd

so when i heard that dave chappelle, flight of the conchords, al madrigal, hannibal buress, kristen schaal, demetri martin and jeff ross were coming to hartford, connecticut with their oddball comedy & curiosity festival, i hopped in my car and drove seven hours. in a heartbeat.

here is the back of my head enjoying flight of the conchords

 

the back of my head enjoyed dave chappelle less

i was so excited to see him and for his big return

however

he did not perform

he smoked cigarettes

chatted with a lady in the audience

mostly he just told us we were a bad audience and left the stage after his contractual twenty-five minutes

i have conflicted feelings

it made me sad

so in sum, laugh, laugh, laugh, happy, happy, laugh, happy, confused, sad, still pretty happy

my many thanks to the other acts

a night i won’t soon forget

spent some time wandering la habana last week

withered propaganda stands firm

fewer are the outbursts of graffiti
