Psychedelic Psaturday

I was skeptical. Georgia invited me to go to a friend's poetry reading with live art by Alex Grey. I had heard of Alex from a SAS friend, but was not super enthused to spend $30. Thank goodness I did. Not only did I get to see Alex Grey's work but I was introduced to ArcheDream for Humankind. They are an internationally touring blacklight mask and dance theatre company that communicates universal ideas and emotions to understanding and compassion. At least that's what it says on their website.  Anyway they had rad costumes, and were fun to view.  I also received the most beautiful face paint of my life.

NYC

After a week of playing in the snow and completing absolutely no schoolwork, Gabby invited me to accompany her on a trip to New York City to visit a good friend of hers from highschool. Without much hesitation, I bought a $38 roundtrip boltbus ticket to New York City. Boy was it the right decision. Martha is a fantastic cook, and created some pretty amazing meals for us. She lives in a sweet little studio apartment in Clinton Hill in Brooklyn. Staying at her place got me really excited about moving to Portland.
It was fun running around the city with Gabby and Martha visiting the West Village and the Whole Foods in Union Square. I consumed more coffee last weekend than I have in the past 2 weeks. Fun Fun.
