I can't believe that in the 2 days that I've been here I have seen and done more than I have all year at home. Openings, both my own and others, galleries, restaurants, laughter, wine and meeting artists whom I've worked and corresponded with for years "in person" for the first time...it's all been a full and amazing trip.
The hotel where I'm staying (The Jane, http://thejanenyc.com/) is home to one of the hottest bars in town. When we got back from the opening and "afterparty" there were lines of people waiting to get in, bouncers, police escorts. Thankfully I'd brought my key; I brandished it above my head and said, "I'm staying here".... The bouncer took my elbow, hollered "Hotel guest, move, move, hotel guest!"...the doorman hollered " 'otel gaste! 'otel gaste!" -- and the crowds parted. Fortunately, I was wearing my black bar glasses http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2256, so no one knew it was only me!
I can't wait to use the energy I'm absorbing here to work once I'm back in The Studio. I will try and arrange an exhibit of Book About Death Postcards (http://abookaboutdeath.blogspot.com/) so more people can see them, and I am looking forward to doing some performance work later on! Now to go and get ready for tonight's performance in Brooklyn...
