It seems all I have the time for lately is to collect for days on end loads of visual baggage and then offload it here for bots, feedreaders and humans alike to enjoy, I hope.<\/p>\n

I don’t think the organization or juxtaposition of any of these images or tidbits of text make any sense, but then again life itself is a pretty uncohesive experience. why one day was I standing above a model of the city I live in thinking about a bike trip I took two months back, then finding myself documenting instances of green-n-yellow all over the city? who knows.<\/p>\n

either way, have at it.<\/p>\n

Socrates Sculpture Movie Park:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really really recommend watching a movie in the park. Socrates Sculpture Park<\/a> has a pretty fab summer schedule.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watched the Korean film “The Host<\/a>” with my matey Martina<\/a>. Great movie. The park experience was the real delight though: we sat quite close to the front. The film progressed through dusk into nightfall, and after the credits we stood up and turned around to a park-at-capacity! Easily over 1,000 people! Which made the walk home (about 30 mins) a delight, surrounded by fellow Queens residents.<\/p>\n

Matthew Barneyparty:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew Barney threw some noise-core shindig in his Long Island City studio. Great space, and the evening included some spontaneous performances including this one of some tranny getting holed up in a portapotty while some guy in a suit siphoned the stall with such strength that it tipped over (I and everybody else in the crowd quickly ran away<\/em> at that point!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

afterwards the DSNY workers uprighted the stall,<\/p>\n

Alarms Loud:<\/strong><\/p>\n

alarm of storage building going off in background. a crane-truck passes by. some guy walking on the street. no other activity. big buildings in the background. desolate surroundings otherwise. this is Queens! <\/span><\/p>\n

Panoramic models:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent trip to the Queens Museum had me walking above their New York City Panorama. I’ve been to see the Panorama over a dozen times now, but this time I had a new familiarity with some areas of Queens that I hadn’t before, notably this area of Neponsit, Bell Harbor and Rockaway Park that I biked to the last week of May (over two months back). The thoughts of that bike trip were still fresh in my head (see houses below).<\/p>\n
