Nuevo York

Back in Nyc last week for Caitlin & Caroline (old roomies and love of life) 's final shows at the COoper Union.  Lucky me they were back to back so I got to see both in one go.  I also got in a snow storm, some par-taying, and two more epic falls in the streets to add to my list; I will indulge you because they are too good to keep to myself and the lucky strangers who witnessed them.

1. Took place while stepping through slush from the street to the side walk - next thing I know I am holding myself in a perfect plank position with my hands in slush.  I had to go into a downward dog to get out of it without stepping in a huge puddle.  Very attractive.

2. I was getting back to Karen & Barbaras appartment at 1:30 a.m. after helping Caroline hang her show.  I slipped in the THE middle of the street in front of a cab skidding down the road.  I scrambled to my feet and onto the side walk before even noticing I had torn open my jeans and my knee - sheesh. ps it was very icey - so I wasn't THAT big of a mental, but still a pretty big one.

Finally - you can prepare yourself for the photo representation of a fantastic trip...

and the meandering begins - where it will take me I'm not yet sure

Luckily I stumbled into this interesante pequeno shop - full of trinkets and pretty much all sorts of things out of my dreams - check out Partners & Spade next time your in town if like beautifully curated oddness.

There were lot more fun and fantastic things that took place before this, but these are the next photos I have - they're of Caroline a's show.  Her pieces are like her beautiful mind Ca Razy Caronline

I got to see some fantastico people I have missed - but as always I didn't see everyone I would have liked to see

Interest in the halls of Cooper Union.

Next a late night in Brooklyn with Caroline and Jean Marie - just like the old days.  It's always amazing what cool people and friends are out in the neighborhood at all hours of the night.  One of which senior Carlos - yes I was peer pressured to do this

Two beauties in the photo booth

and of course what would one of my trips be with out more random pics of things, but no people . . .
