busy times

One of my jobs is working with Steve Keene (www.stevekeene.com) and we finally finished building this huge wave/ramp at his store. Since I only worked on it for 3 hours each week it really made it longer than it should have taken. So last week we painted it. Here is Steve applying the first bit then we left to eat at this place 'Pies and Thighs' under the Williamsburg bridge. The place was closed and Steve was disappointed. After eating hamburgers we went back to put a second coat of paint on the structure. The parts sticking up will be holding his paintings.

Friday morning we woke up early to drive to New Haven. I had an interview with Yale, I'll find out in two weeks. We took a picture of a cemetary nearby that has the inscription "the dead shall be raised". And here is a picture of me

looking 'smart'.

As soon we got back in town we rushed off to meet friends. We went to dinner with Jen and Hooper (they live near us in Queens) and Josh and my good pal Euni (they were visiting from Athens). After dinner we met up with Charlotte (visiting again) to eat some desserts in the West Village. It was good and we talked about stuff. Euni has another year in her MFA program and Charlotte just got offered the job of Rosenquist's studio assistant down in Florida. I had chocolate cheesecake.

Saturday, Rachel's parents arrived for their visit. They stayed until Tuesday. Here are pictures that her mom took on the plane. They did alot of walking and seeing the sites, while I moved out of my studio and

went to work. We did have dinner twice. We ate at Spring Street Natural in Soho, remember that place Elizabeth?
