young peak.

here's a thing i did.

chicago!

how come no one told me that chicago is TOTALLY AWESOME??!! it's so scenic and clean and i had such a great time and ate so much good food. i can't wait to go back someday, but for now i've got other big cities on my mind...

banana peels we've slipped on and egg shells we've tippy toed over.

this weekend i'm going to chicago to see the reunion of cap'n jazz, one of my all-time-favorite bands. and i'm. SO. EXCITED!

conowingo.

just one of the many wonderful things i was a part of this past weekend.

like a fish.

in the last 2 days i've had my first, second and third swims of the summer. love it.

2am edit: +fourth swim

storm tharp.

while i was in nyc last week i made a point to go check out the whitney biennial. overall there wasn't too much that i was excited about. that is, except for the series of paintings by storm tharp, which i really really like. a lot. unfortunately they were placed in a room with marianne vitale berating the art audience via video, which was both annoying and attention getting; so these paintings probably didn't get as much eye time as they should have.

on the road.

it's springbreaktime so last weekend i headed up north to see family and friends and regain my sanity {somewhat}. i left savannah at 3am and saw this just after sunrise in north carolina.

FUN AGAIN IN 2010.

i'm looking forward to it. see you guys on the flip side.

how much art can you take?

so i've returned from art basel miami with no money, lots of blisters and about 500 pictures! we went to 6 fairs {art basel, it ain't, pulse, nada, pool and aqua} and so, so many galleries/shows/openings. we saw gang gang dance play at a recreation of max fish and kid sister play poolside at a swanky hotel. i ate some pretty good food {where are all the fancy vegetarian restaurants?!} and stepped into the ocean. mostly i looked at art and thought about art and looked at art and wrote down notes about art and looked at art and talked about art and looked at a lot of art.

vámonos!

tomorrow i'm heading down to miami for art basel! it's my first time going and i have no idea what to expect, except to be really excited and really exhausted. i'll be gone until saturday, but i might do a little phonebloggin. yay!

rally.

this weekend i went to a scooter rally in atlanta. it was super fun! the vintage ones have such great logos amd i've kind of got the scooter bug.

mystery spot.

a gravity hill is an optical illusion where a downwards slope appears upwards. water flows backwards, chairs could be balanced on two legs and no one can seem to stand up straight. i've been to the {now closed} wonder spot in wisconson, and it really is a neat experience. here's a list of mystery spots all over the world.

at kinzua lake.

(jamestown, new york is the exact opposite of brooklyn, new york.}

yesterday we brought the dogs to the lake and remmington had lots of fun.

infinity.

nyc family portrait of me, steven and sarah in yayoi kusama's infinity room. i could have stayed in there forever.

whirwind.

this has been a wonderfully busy trip already and it's about to get a little bit more fast paced. i'm heading to nyc today!
