Locals Only

And I thought localism was the domain of ignorant surfers....

It's Ethereal

I really liked this installation at the MOMA, it  had a nice feel to it. Big white curtains with speakers hanging in between them playing soft sounds. Hard to explain but good to experience.

Love Your Job

We took a visit to the MOMA in NYC, I was a little taken by this man. His job was to stand and watch one of the installations, making no one caused damage. He seemed to really dig his job, it was nice to see!

Moved The Cupboard to NYC for a bit

It's been a while, I moved the cupboard to NYC for a few weeks. It's my third visit there in as many years, and it's lucky that I'm so accustomed to cupboard dwelling, as thats about all you get when you rent a place or book a hotel over there.

We arrived at midnight in a suburb of brooklyn that shall remain nameless, and with the help of a very nice stranger who I thought may want to rob us, we found the apartment I had rented. Turns out the apartment was fantastic, it was just the proximity to the JZ train line that wasn't so great.. After having a shower and sitting down we were greeted by bright flashing lights and a prolonged cling clang thump! After a brief survey of the surrounds ( looking out the window) I noticed that the train was ten metres from our lounge room... a fact that was conveniently omitted in the apartment description. So every 15 minutes 24 hours a day the house shook and shone with the bright lights of the J train. Needless to say we only stayed the first night and that morning we began our odyssey of last minute hotel deals through booking.com..some were amazing ( Raddisson @ midtown) some were less than amazing ( Stay @ Time Square). Regardless, it was an adventure filled with many good times and some very sweaty times carrying bags through the subways.
