Still down (the dinner blog) but last night I was lured (under false pretenses, but it's cool) to Brooklyn Kitchen for a panel, not on radical grocery stores (that was the false premise) but about grocers, generally. First it was dull. Some stats on farms and farming. Specialty food ...
The in-laws are coming and they want to "do something special." Besides helping us paint our new apartment? Sheesh. So I'm brainstorming. They like theater, we like community. My Broadway experiences have left me feeling out of place an uninspired so I avoid it. The other thing we like is ...
Not a secret: milk prices are heavily regulated in New York state. Also not a secret: compliance is rare and price gouging is common. We buy our milk at the green market most weeks, but we were deep in the Cherokee National Forest last weekend (actually, ...
This (Maker Faire, 9/25-26) or that (Hobby, 9/14) although that is sold out, so I suppose I won't. Both via Nonsense.
I'm going to need a weekend at home by the time I'm done with my whirlwind of meetings (note: Las Vegas is surreal and fascinating.) but this sounds great. A weekend of biking and bicycle repair workshops in the Catskills with my friend Chris: As you might have heard, my friend Ryan and I are putting on a weekend long bicycle workshop in upstate NY on the weekend of June 25-27th. This is the first time we have put on this workshop and have been unable to register any participants as of yet. However, our shortfall is your gain. We would like to do this workshop in the future and we feel your participation and feedback will be great help for the workshop's future development. Thus, we are sending you a personal invite to join us for the weekend for a greatly reduced $100 per person! This price includes: five great meals, lodging, rides, and workshops. This is all in the context of Woodbourne, NY at a house that is on 15 acres of land. You will be responsible for getting yourself and your bicycle to the location.
I won't be around on June 10, but this will be interesting. Promise: Please join Not An Alternative, Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, and Upgrade NY! this Thursday, June 10 for the opening of Re:Group: Beyond Models of Consensus, an exhibition which examines models of participation and participation as a model in art and activism.
My new friend Jen lured me to a panel last night. Part of LMCC's Access Restricted series. Worth checking out, though I wanted a lot more from Intellectual Property in the Age of Reproduction. We barely touched on the very interesting questions of copyright transgression, copying and fair use. Which is really too bad. Two quick observations before I get back to work.
The excitement lately is the small kind, an offer tendered (so we'll wait and see), an external monitor (no hunching!), Cory, Iyengar (and Maria for leading me to Cory). Finding balance in a new professional space (sometime lately I stopped feeling like I was faking it at being a ...
have a meeting to go to (there better be cookies!), I'd be at this on Thursday ... Floating Points 2008 Issue Project Room This Festival, in its third year, (formerly points in a circle) explores the versatility of ISSUE Project Room's Innovative house speaker system, designed by Stephan Moore. In the hands of ...
