My Friend Slash

Our friend Slash Coleman sent us an e-mail to let us know that he's been selected to do his one person show in an off Broadway theatre. Woo Hoo, hooray! We're so happy for him that I had to share this news for anyone who might be in the vicinity and can go see him.
He'll be at the Teatro La Tea (Clemente Soto Velez Cutural Center) at 107 Suffolk St. on the lower east side, April 10 and April 22. You can get details at Slash's web site. Happy for you, Slash!!

Seeing Jem Cohen

Last week, I was able to attend a lecture by Jem Cohen at VCU. Mica said he was amazing and go see him, if possible. Possible, we did, and really enjoyed his presentation. I found this interview with him that related to the talk he gave at VCU. Both Chuck and I connected to his talking about his films as being collages and found his images to be so beautifully framed. Now to rent some of the films!

Pink tree, yellow daffies

Spring was here, briefly. It was 80F (26C) for a couple days. Our tree blossoms, magically, almost instantly. It was gorgeous. In the alley behind the house, there are daffodils in bloom. Today, it's cold, rainy, sleety, windy. I'm so glad I have these images to remind me of how absolutely breath taking our tree was yesterday.

more mosaics, NYC

I thought it was so excellent to see more mosaics in NYC. I thought the ones in the subway were beautiful, elegant, but these, on the building by Two Boots and the Pioneer Theatre were so exhuberant. I would like to do mosaics like these.

Subway station NYC

Waiting in the subway station by Lincoln Center...we saw these beautiful mosaics.

some of our NYC eats

We had brunch at Florent in the meat packing district. It was crowded but worth waiting for these yummy eggs florentine. The fruit cup was at Gamin, a sweet place. Notice the reclining bunny in the cafe au lait. Oh, just realized, both places were "French."

Our time in NYC

We went to NYC last weekend. Mica invited us to attend the screening of videos at the Pioneer Theatre. She co-curated an event called 1800 Frames, which was really terrific. This building is located at Columbus Circle. The weather was perfect for walking around the city.
