Kaleidoscope Celebration of Color 2008 Photos

I had such a quandary deciding whether to go to Kaleidoscope as a performer or a photographer. In the end, I decided to spin poi and let my awesome friend Connor Hays man the equipment. I had a wonderful time and he did a fabulous job.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs ... and Artists

I went to the Improv Everywhere Camera Flash Experiment on the Brooklyn Bridge a few weeks ago and now the video is out. The idea was to use camera flashes to do the wave across the bridge.



Between the rain and the difficulty coordinating 700 people with cameras they don't actually know how to use the wave thing didn't really work. But there are still some fun visuals and I made a bunch of new friends.

I made my first Flickr album of Soggy Brooklyn Bridge Shenanigans. If you tell me how much you love my photo albums and beg for more I might just finally get around to putting up the pics from my Bali, Indonesia and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico trips. But ya gotta really want it.

P.S. My spell checker wants to change "Puerto Vallarta" into "Puberty Valhalla". Hawt.

Theater Recommendation

I hope the knowledge that I've never used my blog to recommend a show will help emphasize just how freaking awesome I think How the Theater Failed America by Mike Daisey is. He's an incredible story teller, the likes of which we've not seen since Spalding Gray.

Go! Go now! Go often. Take your friends.

A Man With His Own Medium

Today on the A Train I met a man who makes sculptures out of used
Metrocards. He was very sweet and flattered that I wanted to take a
photo. He gave me the one he is holding in this image.
