one week exactly until ottawa’s second nuit blanche
excited. happy
a touch nervous
but mostly curious
my ‘crowd box’ project will be in the byward market zone at Social
i was delightfully reminded of last year’s nuit blanche ‘walk with me’ walking stick project with the arrival of a message from an eleven year old boy named Félix this week. he found the ‘school age’ stick in a library. he wanted to know if he could send the stick abroad. it had been a while since i had heard from one of the sticks. what fun! it made me happy.
…and i take that as a good omen for this year’s project
6:21pm til 4:22am next saturday the 21st
come out
be a part of the art
ALL of the art
the streets will be filled
if you cannot come then send me a tweet @heARTbeatgalART
tell your friends
tell strangers
help me connect with as many people as possible
woot! woot!
strange experiments in creative collaboration
good fun

my trip to brooklyn was long overdue
spent a couple of days wandering around dumbo and williamsburg
…the wellspring of hipsters
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
given a sign!
dumbo
prettiest lamp post base i ever did see
i heART the brickwall canvas
don’t fret!
cost is religion (huh?)
look closely…
look up
got it. no ‘u’
new age nonsense
my kind of vista
vroom vroom
i am all about teal these days
hipsters use propaganda!
no smoking
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!!)
(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…

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
viva la cuba libre!
…now off for a dose of nyc
