"Sleepwalkers"

On a convoluted trip back to campus in freezing February, I passed by the Moma around 10:00 pm and stumbled across this video exhibit. Eight short films, projected onto the exterior walls of the museum, follow the strictly individual experience of one New Yorker throughout the course of his or her day. The night atmosphere and the accompaniment of city sounds around you made these films very peaceful to watch. The pictures and trailer on the Moma site do it much more visual justice:

Just Kidding. It works now.

Geeez.

I am writing from the wonderful Fordham library as there is currently no internet in my room. Many apologies for the annoying blip in posts.

Interview with Abigail McIntyre

ED: So, Abby, what's new in your life since your big debut at the baptism? AM: Well, first of all, it was a real treat to be able to work with Father English, my parents, and my godparents, but I'm really happy to be back in my DE apartment. At the moment, my newest project is working on my teeth, which should be coming out in a few weeks. But ya know, at 5 months old, I think it's time to step back and really start enjoying life. After the release of all four teeth, I'm planning on kicking back with my mom and dad, and just keepin it real.

Baby Love

A sudden chord from an electric guitar resounded in the stadium and you knew he was in the house. John Mayer in Madison Square Garden, that is. Last week, I had the pleasure of watching him perform on his tour promoting "Continuum." Though I sat in section 423, located behind the stage (aka the "worst" seats), I got to see the view of the enormous crowd that every performer sees from the stage (look above). With his quirky humor and intermittent observations on life, he played selections from all four albums. My favorites were "I Don't Need No Doctor, Belief, Why Georgia, Stop This Train," and "Good Love is on the Way." His wide ranging playlist really showed the versatility he's achieved as an artist, reaching into the world of pop, soft rock as well as jazz and blues. He ended with "Gravity" and surprised us with a visit from Alicia Keys, joining him for a few short harmonies. Though Madison Square Garden felt a bit Noah's Ark-ish at times, it really did put you in the mood for a concert.
