I had a great New York summer weekend. On Saturday I went to Edgar's for the afternoon and got soaked in the summer rainstorms. Edgar's is a laid back place on 84th Street where Edgar Allen Poe used to live.
Later that night, I went to a classic NYC party on the Upper West Side - lots of writers, singers, artists and wine!
(got soaked in the rain storms again with my pink stilettos - but it's ok! They survived).
Sunday I went to Barge Music, where Olga Bloom greeted me "Welcome Home!" I love it there, and the music always blows me away. This place has become my church:
Beethoven Piano Trio in D Major, Op. 70, No. 1, “Ghost”
Variations in E-Flat Major for Piano Trio, Op. 44
Piano Trio No. 7 in B-Flat Major, Op. 97, “Archduke”
Mark Peskanov, Violin/ Dmitry Kouzov, Cello/ André-Michel Schub, Piano
Right outside the Barge was an art installation called the "Telectroscope" which allows you to see people looking through a similar device in England. I caught the very last day, and it was quite a sight. The device itself - powered by fiber optics -was built to look as if it was a tunnel coming out of the ground.
Sunday night Yumi and I finally went to see Sex and the City. The fashions are crazy, but all part of the fun. We realized our New York lives are as awesome as those ladies, we just don't have the big Hollywood budget yet. It's ok. Someday soon.
In other news, I am feeling like I am enjoying life again. It has been a long year of many ups and downs, but I'm starting to laugh and smile, and feel better than ever. Sometimes going into a cocoon is really important. It's the only way to grow into a butterfly.
