Dear Stephen,
Heard that your speaking gig at the UN went well; short and sweet. We must have been crossing paths; Claudine and I were midtown for a swank opening at the MoMA after spending the afternoon with Greg at PS1. He had just returned from a conference in Vancouver and is trying to find ways to stay in NY with Rebecca.
PS1 was filled to the gills with art about the body; specifically, about entering and leaving the body, death and birth, the good stuff. Near the end it was gettign hard to take, all the excrement, the Paul McCarthy and Carolee Schneemann, lots of work about vomit, Mona Hatoum's digestive tract video on a plate, and then there was the sex room. It was all a little overwhelming but quite inspiring. I love that place, though the guards stick to you like glue and the service at the café was soooo slow. Although the slow service did give us more time to watch the videos of people gorging themselves.
So after the swank opening at MoMA (open bar!), we headed back up to Washington Heights close to Rebecca's and ate again at Jesse's Place. We went home, packed, slept for two hours and we were up to catch our plane. Jesse's Place still had people milling around at 4am. We caught the subway, then the M60 bus to La Guardia, where there were hundreds of people and seeming mass confusion but we got through everything on time we hop-scotched to Montréal, had the best coffee and croissant of the week, then arrived in Saint John.
I was back at work last night, which eventually returned to the Friday's of old, it actually got quite busy later on, which was nice. Claudine went to Fredericton to pick up her computer and drop mine off. It might not still be covered by the extended Apple logic-board warranty so I have my fingers crossed. Not while I'm typing.
Jamie and Paul came in the bar last night and we talked about the mission in Afghanistan. He says he supported the extension of the UN mission because its initial thrust was to protect women and children. I told him it seemed that it was becoming all-out war and that it was losing its focus. Also he said the pres of Afghanistan told parliament to expect the mission to last ten years, which is a bit freaky to consider.
More late; Katie just arrived and we're on our way to the Kingston Farmer's Market on the Peninsula.
