reunion

Alison and I were lucky enough to snag our grad school classmate Sam for the weekend! We covered quite a bit of ground, beginning with our local bar scene Friday evening. On Saturday we took her to the Brooklyn Flea and the Union Square market before eating crazy sandwiches from the Peanut Butter & Co. sandwich shop. Those were intense. We took ourselves to the American Wing to show off all that hard work last year. And I ran into my good friend Jonathan Dwight. We spent the evening out with more former classmates and other NYC dec arts superstars playing scrabble over drinks. We only got on our soap boxes about museums and our quarter life crises a few times! It's been too long, friends.

Sunday included nail polish and textiles, as well as a visit to the Brooklyn Museum. It was such a nice walk from our apartment, and there were new things to see. My favorite new installation is Reception, by Vadis Turner (2009). The mixed media piece includes Bibles, ribbons, and birth-control pills (among many other things). It's always great to be reminded of how great New York (this includes Brooklyn!) can be. Safe travels home - and thanks - to Sam!
