the Ting Tings

Babs, Katie and myself went to holler at the Ting Tings at the Music Hall of Bburg. They were amazing- the sound was so good, so right on. And the set, especially for a Sunday night, was the perfect length of time. Sometimes I want to the show to go on forever, but most of the time I've seen enough, danced enough and its time to go home. The Ting Tings knew when to hit it and quit it. FABULOUS!!!

Tokoyo!

Last last Saturday I went to the Landmarc theatre to see Tokoyo!, a triptic film avec mon realizateur préféré, Michel Gondry! Afterwards he did a Q and A.
I kinda sat there, having an internal struggle, to ask a question or to not... I finally came to the conclusion that since I turn into a fool everytime I come close to Gondry, incredibly similar to a teenage girl in the proximity of a boy band, I kinda can't breathe that well, and I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster.
I decdied that this was probably the only time I would be able to (physically) ask a question to my absolute favorite maker of things ever.
Ahem, so-I asked him about a chair that played a big part in his short film. OF COURSE the girl who works in furniture asks about the design of the chair. No really, I promise I'm really cool.

Dana Schutz

I love Dana Schutz, hardcore. I think she has this strange Chicago contingency, I can't quite explain that, but I know peeps at my Alma Matter SAIC loved on her alot. She had a new exhibition at the Zach Feuer Gallery on Friday.
The pieces were not exactly what I was expecting- Dana's trying some new things. At first I was disappointed but then I remembered I have to allow the artist to play, to push and pull. Its the only way they can evolve and have fun doing it. She did do some interesting things with the new works. The piece above was my favorite in the gallery.

DUMBO flea market

After brunch with the most fabulous of foreign ladies, me, Rixa, Catherine, and Agathe traipsed on down to DUMBO from Williamsburg, which was easy because last weekend I had my parent's car!
The ladies knew of a cool flea market, which we scoured every booth and stand. There were some really great pieces, and baller furniture, of which I- of course- yearned to own, even though I have no where to put it and no money to buy it with.




I swear I also saw Marissa Tomei there. Maybe I imagined it, but it looked alot like her.

Olsens!

It is no mystery to people who love me that I have feelings for the Olsen Twins. I realize that sentence is creepy. It's not supposed to be. It just want the way I feel about them to remain ambiguous. I'm not sure if I love them or ...
what am I talking about? Of course I love them. Someone loves them more than me-

When I was an RA in college (come on! I was such a cool RA, the kids loved on me fer sure) I themed my floor after the Olsens, and it was baller. I wish I could find the photo of my bulletin board. It had a larger than life size photo of the two of them, and it said Music Make You Loose Control on the side. AND I added bling to their outfits.
You wish you were on my floor.

Squat

Look! This cute little store front, only one story, almost went completely unnoticed by myself. I'm so glad I found it. It just sits there, 1X1, between its larger brothers. Another Brooklyn mystery, found on Manhattan and Driggs.
