I have been going absolutely insane lately; the past three weekends for me have consisted of work (both Saturday and Sunday), among other things. While this isn't terrible (I deal very well with things when I have the option to take a nap in the middle of the day if I like), I have a note on my computer with a mushrooming list of seven things to write about. It includes three exhibits (one of them probably irrelevant to talk about by now (the Stefan Sagmeister one @ Deitch Projects that is now over)), a couple of cool things I have seen around, etc. I'll get to it. I think.

So, apologies. For now though, here is something: my friend Ryan started a blog. Ryan is a friend of mine from grad school, and I've always been able to turn to him for snippets on everything cool (he was like my personal Wooster Collective-meets-NOTCOT). You can imagine how excited I was to hear the news.

Well, Ryan didn't disappoint. Less than a week after starting beenkbeenk, he uploads one of his latest videos called Dream.


For being his first venture into After Effects, I'd say: pretty damn good, kind sir. Thanks for making me smile today.

Everyone say hi to Ryan!

subculture merging

I was antisocial and introverted all weekend. It all changed without warning when I went to the McCarren Pool party, though. I expected it to be relatively uneventful, but by the end of the day I had run into friends from four or five different subgroups. Three of the groups merged when a handful of us went to dinner afterwards, too. It was disorienting and wonderful.






I didn't get too many great photos because I was running in a million directions the whole time. The pool, though (ha, ha), has some great ones.
