my friends Ashley, Josh, Amelie and Amelie’s husband and fellow St. Louisan Mike arrived into town yesterday evening. A bit of a hassle with the arrivals because Mike arrived on a different bus, that was stuck in traffic, but the others had already abandoned their luggage with me at work. Ashley met back up with me and we shuttled it all home in a cab, which I needed anyways to cart home a Mitsubishi DiamondPro CRT monitor that I found on the streets of SoHo last night (works flawlessly!). The cab ride was much talked about, as the cabbie was attempting – and succeeding with – maneuvers that nearly gave Ashley and myself heart attacks. It was great! It was Ashley’s first ride in NYC and it definitely met all expectations!
Ashley helped me lay some ethernet cable before we spent the wee hours of the morning playing Resident Evil 4 on the PS2. woke up this morning to a communal breakfast, around 12 of us at the kitchen table, then we departed for the city. We all arrived at Location One where I’m invigilating the gallery today; they’ll parade around town before we (minus Amelie whose heading back to PA this evening) head back out to Flux Factory for the opening tonight. Tomorrow morning we plan on going to Martina Mrongovius‘ show at the Holocenter and then to Coney Island for the afternoon.
