it's a hell of a town ...

found a message on my phone from adam this morning asking if i wanted to meet up with half of his london crew in new york this weekend. as if he needed to ask. unfortunately, we picked a bad weekend for a cheap getaway. what the hell is going on in new york this weekend? it took us all day to find an available hotel. but it's found! deal is done! nyc + me = tomorrow night! last time i was in new york it was a little bit of a whirlwind and i never really got my bearings. that happens when i don't get to walk my way around a new place. it was also february and ass cold. so i never made it north of the met. oh but this time harlem, this time columbia, i'll drop by. it's supposed to be sunny and 60s all weekend. hallelujah. nothing else is really on the agenda. i'm thinking some flea markets and some soho and some moma. and a nice sunshiny stroll through the park. also secretly want to go to the public library. ahhh. come on new york. second date? let's give it a shot.

it's here.....

SAM is about to open and all those skeptics and haters (you can include me in some of that) maybe need to giver her a second chance? $1 billion in new art. $1 BILLION! she's trying! and things like this this and this and this and the fact that the building is one big MOMA ripoff, give me hope! i mean nothing will replace my henry and frye, but sometimes you just want to go visit a pollock and spend a gazillion dollars on mondrian drinking glasses. i'm a sucker for a good museum gift store (National Gallery anyone?) though i will say, $13 admission? what are you, the EMP? not cool sam, not cool.

so to finish my museum studies program i'm now doing a weekly blog for the Henry Art Gallery! check it out here: http://hankblog.wordpress.com i have quite an enormous crush on the Henry, so we can officially classify this as "kind of a big deal."
