In 2004, I lived in Oakland on Miles Avenue down the block from Ted Purves, Susanne Cockrell, and their son Oliver. I lived at the corner of Miles and Hudson, one house in on the west side of Miles. Ted is an artist and educator. Mary lived in the house and I lived in the garage. The main garage door didn't open, I came in and out through the side door. I would pee in the yard instead of going into the house. If it was raining I would pee into the yard from my doorway. I lived in garages from November 2001 until June 2004. They had oil stains and beds in them. I got in bed fully...
We wanted to write a blog post about Roger, who will be debuting his latest music project at our party this Saturday. Roger is multi-talented and his work spans the spectrum of music and performance art. We loved his band, The Nasties, and the spookiness of their ultra catchy tunes. Roger and James Thacer also produce GLAZZ.tv, a multimedia web series that features NYC-based artists and musicians.

To top it all off, Roger is all-around awesome! Don't miss his performance this Saturday, January 14. While you're at it you...
On Saturday I went to the opening of Ai Weiwei's "Sunflower Seeds" at Mary Boone Gallery on 24th Street in Chelsea. The sunflower seeds are handpainted porcelain.

It premiered at the Tate Modern in London last year. At Mary Boone, they have a portion of what was on view at the Tate, which was a much larger installation. When it was first installed at the Tate, you were allowed to walk on the seeds. However, it was determined that walking on them created toxic dust and after that you were not allowed. At Mary...
In the first week of every new my good friend Bonnie Pipkin and I go dip our feet in the Atlantic at Beach 92. Its a great tradition. I really can't say if it's an accurate forecast for the year ahead, but this year the trip was both cold and inspiring. Though it was FREEEZING and our toes were numb, the sun came out right when we got there and we sat in the sun for awhile after, remembering days of beach and glory.
