with the slight break in snowage comes a glorious new period in biking EVERYWHERE. this included the locally infamous carousel mall, central new york's biggest supposed "green" effort. this effort is apparently limited to painting various architectural elements green, as naida and i could not find bike racks. we also became interested in the breakdown of pedestrian fabric in route to the mall.
but i digress. i finally checked out SPARK contemporary art space, an art gallery/performance venue approximately 3 blocks away from me. it's sort of in the middle of no where, so you feel a little like mother teresa when you show up. there were plenty of people, though, and the place was selling pbrs for a dollar. i saw about 4 live sets and a couple artists' work for $6 bucks to charity.
this guy paulsen's paintings are more striking on the web than in person, and that's because he chose to paint what i think would be best in collage/a hi-res photo. he does a good job of getting meticulous details done, but the content risks being seen as immature if it's not executed flawlessly. anyway, i really love the ballsy tackiness, and think it is a fun commentary on something serious.

note-to-self
vibrato: a slightly tremulous effect imparted or inherent to the voice, the human hand, the hand-drawn line, and the ridge of an egg crack created from slight, rapid, variation; producing a stronger, richer tone.

scientific evidence of an afterlife
A white room. A light. The voice of a god,
yes, but what about blood thick in the heart,
oxygen, orgasms, salt, a hot shower,
your mother and you in a rocking chair,
virgin fossils, babies that your belly fed,
what about an image of a white horse
and a deep pilgrimage, a gut feeling,
some relic in a jar, fingers crossed, wet
words hot in the mouth, slices of meat,
a left hand, in it a cave, a goddess of mercy,
the moon, two people, a love story,
with a dress, the smell of spring,
the lace of a mouth, an island,
a face in the bathroom mirror,
little boats, the wind knocks,
your whole body, on the porch,
carrying the sediment of evening,
then the sound of a tree, wings, hair,
lights for miles.

help me find these boots, y'all.
Living in a city, especially a city full of beautiful people, means that I have become obsessed with shoes. The same thing happened last time in Barcelona with a certain pair of illusive gladiator sandals and round-toed gray boots. I never found exactly what I was looking for. (OCD for details much?)This time, I want cowboy-ish boots with a bit of grunge glam. I see boots everywhere, and Urban Outiffters has a pair that are almost perfect (far left)...but the heel is a bit too high and the upper a bit too short. Also, I want boots the color of dirt, not caramel. Because I'm obsessed (and have too much free time) I drew what I wanted. If you guys see anything like this...lemmie know.
And here is the rest of it.

Party ... Catalan-style.
This weekend we drove to a gorgeous mountain-top plateau for a birthday party in a 1,000 year old house with stone walls, terracotta floors, 20 effortlessly gorgeous Europeans and their unsupervised children. Sounds included a mingling of Catalan, Spanish, and English and some lovely French music in the background. The dinner party was fabulous...I took notes. Here's a bundle of some moments from the afternoon, before the real fun started. (music, Mathieu Boogaerts.)
