A weekend of NYC culture: with Kaylee! a.k.a. I try to make it sound like I do cool stuff Art: This weekend, I went to the Guggenheim, because on Saturday evenings you can pay whatever you want. Then I got there and there was this ridiculous line and I was like, “Wow, people must care about paying whatever they want to see art a lot more than I thought.” But then! I gathered, as I was standing in line, that there was this exhibit everyone wanted to see that was leaving the next day. And what it was! Was an exhibit of this guy Cattelan. He’d never had an exhibition of his stuff before, because he was all, “My stuff should be viewed separately.” But then the Guggenheim was all, “Hey, do an exhibit here.” And Cattelan was like, “Okay, I guess, but we’ve gotta do something crazy.” So they took his entire body of work and hung it by ropes from the ceiling in the rotunda of the Guggenheim. And you could walk around it up seven floors of ramps and depending on where you stood, you could see different stuff. It was pretty much the best. Above is a picture, which I got from here. Theater: We got rush tickets for this play “Seminar.” It was about creative writing and had Alan Rickman in it, which is a combination of two fantastic things. It made me laugh and we fangirled about being in the same room as Alan Rickman and it also made me think a lot about writing and come home and lie on my bed and wallow in self-doubt. It also made me decide that I want Alan (we are on a first name basis) to narrate my life. Imagine if I was just doing my thing and Alan was there going, “Kaylee has decided to eat a snack.” Sports: Apparently there was an important Giants game on? Everywhere we went, people were watching it. When we walked around last night, we saw people standing outside smoking, but instead of facing the street like normal, they tried to keep watching the game through restaurant windows. This has been a weekend of NYC culture: with Kaylee!
