VISITORS SHOW YOU THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE OVERLOOKED
Had my friend Katrina in town over the weekend, and as usual when people come to visit, I end up doing stuff I normally would never get around too. So on Friday I took the day off and met her down in SoHo (where I passed the actor Norman Reedus pushing a BMX bike down the sidewalk) at the headquarters for V magazine and gallery space for Visionaire, the extraordinary limited-edition topical art book/magazine thing that comes out thrice yearly. We gleefully perused the back issues with their ridiculously expensive printing formats of rubber and plastic complete with the very finest in gorgeous color/black and white photography. We then headed up to 103rd at Central Park to catch the wandering performance of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor Lost that had the audience up and about a lakeside setting moving from scene to scene. As the night fell it got downright magical at the end with the actors illuminated by flashlight and fireflies punctuating the scenes with that kind of mystical juju thing that just makes you all lucky to be alive for perfect moments.
