I was checking out my facebook profile today and saw this ad. I realize it’s for people looking to “settle down,” but using a baby for a dating site ad is just creepy.

James and I will try to get there, probably a little late, as we’re attending the opening night preview of the new Asian Contemporary Art Fair. ArtCal is a media partner.

The next Over The Opening occurs this Friday from 7-10pm, featuring the lovely and talented Marisa Olson. We’ll have to see if any of the wacky ideas we discussed at the last OTO come to fruition. More details can be found here.
All Williamsburg galleries are open until 9 that night, so go see lots of art.
If you can’t get to Williamsburg that night, I recommend The Shape of Things to Come opening at LMCC Redhead gallery downtown that night.

After attending a performance by John Moran at PS122, James and I encountered this violist improvising on the platform across from us in the L train’s First Avenue station, with a bit of unexpected dance accompaniment. This is a station where you can’t cross over to the other side without going back to the street, or we would have moved over there to give him some money and talk to him. If anyone knows him, ask him to drop me an email.
The video is made up of several clips that I combined, and I’m no video editor. My apologies for the abrupt transitions.
