I didn't go to the New Museum today. Not only was there a TORNADO WARNING and a MONSOON, but it is also the anniversary of a terrorist attack many of you might recall from a few years ago. I'm not going to lie and tell you I took the day to be with my family and pray for our soldiers or something like that....The truth is I didn't want to deal with the bullshit of every New Yorker (and a shit ton of non New Yorkers) walking around showing their non-forgetfulness in my face and making a trip up there troublesome. Plus the MONSOON. Shit.
I don't know when I'm going to go to the museum. Since I have classes all week and if I don't have my ticket stub for Friday then I might as well not show up, it might serve to go to NY that day and hit up the New Museum and whatever gallery we need for two weeks from now. God I hate galleries. Why can't they ever have a bar in there or something. I'd be a lot more willing to drag myself to NY every week if I was gonna get sloshed while I was taking in some unremarkable artwork.

I'm glad to see that your motivation hasn't diminished as much as your wit.
ReplyDeleteyou will be showing up for class tomorrow, stub or no stub, right
ReplyDeleteI thought the stub was my attendance?
ReplyDeleteJustin,
ReplyDeleteIt would be worth your while to still visit the New Museum next time you are in New York. The "monsoon" was little more than a rainy day and while 9/11 as a national holiday is debated, right now is is a regular work and class day for us all. You have a two week period during which to attend the required exhibitions. It is your responsibility to do so. If you have conflicts in the future, please bring them to either Gerry's or my attention WELL BEFORE your post is due.
Best, Megan
