quick trip to NYC

1. a couple dancing ladies. Very cute and just as drunk, I think. Reggae got them going. That tat got me going, pretty much.

2. that's my kid heading into the Vanguard. We saw the Christian McBride Trio. Very nice but not so good seats. I couldn't see the drummer at all. Drank a Manhattan, of course.

3. iPhone capture from 45th floor of my son's office building (4 WTC) which sits next to #1 WTC.

4. This was a bonus. My friend Marcus Eriksen, who's day job is directing the 5 Gyres organization where he chases plastic pollution in the oceans worldwide, cast my face for an anti-war project he's doing in the city. He's putting together 20-30 'soldiers' from different eras, in a city-scape scene. The buildings will be made by another artist, a Chinese dissident who was imprisoned and released. (the city will be made of meat). Marcus is a pretty amazing guy. Ex-marine from Gulf War, PhD scientist, leads archeology camps for kids in the summers, and a sculptor. He's casting my son too. We reconstructed the 'Junk Raft' he and another guy sailed from LA to Hawaii a few yrs ago on the front steps of the Calif Capitol building. The boat was made of 50k plastic bottles and assembled by LA high school kids. (I have pix of that too, of course!) I had to shave off a perfectly good 'stache for the casting.

my son and fam live there now, so I had a good excuse for a trip. Couple museums, good food, a little sneaky street photog, and Village Vanguard tickets. Would liked to have stayed longer.
