I lied. I said I'd post from Austin, but I didn't. So here is the most beautiful capitol building in all of Texas that hopefully will convey my sincerest apologies. 
The trip was better than I could have planned. I saw so many people and got to spend time with several dear friends. College friends, roommates, childhood friends, professors...you name it. I also got quite a bit of writing done most of which took place with this view.
The day after I returned to the NYC, I went on a Chelsea Crawl with some people who are way more intelligent than I am in matters of visual art. I try and I appreciate, but there's some stuff I think is stupid. There was a lot of that, but some interesting things too. 
I like maps. Anything with maps and I'm pretty much sold.
This was possibly my favorite show title. The entire exhibit was of Knicks basketball trinkets used to make different designs. Humor is not dead after all...Thomas' career is dead, but not humor.
It looks like a lot of junk lumped on top of each other, but it was actually quite intricate when you get up close to it.
And the piece de resistance...Star Trek art. Dad, you would have LOVED this. These are beads on string.
This was made out of pipe cleaners. Ridiculous.
I just liked this one.
This was huge and breath taking. Again, lots of shiny beads and lights.
This was a bit like Veggie Tales on ... some illegal substance.
Now, I would like to welcome you to the new diggs. Welcome to Bank and Bleecker.
This is my street.
This is the playground across the street.
This is a bookstore that I like to go into. It has the really good old book smell.
This is the downfall of my hopes for a healthy future. Magnolia is two blocks from my door.
This is the hallway.
This is our kitchen.
This is our living room.
This is my bedroom...literally a room for my bed. It's tiny, but I love it. It's been therapeutic to have just a little bit.
Another angle of the room.
And, one more.
Mom, this is the pillow I embroidered a couple months ago. Ignore the poor pillow construction and focus on the stitches. :)
That's my show and tell.
It's OVER!
