the thing itself and not the myth

Where did we leave off? Rice pudding & teleportation, I think. So Sunday was lunch & roller derby practice (go Bronx!) & then the rain stopped so we could go out to 5 Pointz. YAY. It’s a converted warehouse full of artist lofts, which is awesome already, but then the outside of the building is street art central. You can only paint by permit (which makes sense and is also very strange), and I took ten million pictures. Well, 79 in my Flickr set. Follow me after the jump for some favorites, and the rest of my time in New York.

And the view of the city from there –

Monday I got breakfast at a diner before heading out to the airport. Those are now two of the biggest things I miss about the city that could be replicated in Seattle if we were not so lame — cheap breakfast & public transit. Oh man.

And while I was waiting to fly out, this fellow was playing violin up on the walkway. No one else seemed to notice.
