the neo-classical tower has once been the home of cher and is now occupied by none other than sofia coppola. i'd like to think that when i stretch in the mornings, dear sofia watches benevolently. i also has a clock that lights up at night so that i know what time it is. the glare of the many-coloured party bulbs of all the italian restaurants prevents me from knowing whether it it is morning already or just the onset of twilight.
celebrated the new place yesterday with our first piece of new york street furniture, a soho filing cabinet marked paid bills. good sign, i thought. afterwards there were "big" wontons at chinatown's wonderfully achromal "wonton garden" and then my initiation in what is most commonly known as karaoke. i remember whitney, bon jovi, the carpenters (superstar, ahhh), a rousing version of "how is the weather?" by the turtles and finally that song made famous by tiffany. very silly, and weird to think this kind of crucial asian-americana is mere blocks away.
back to the atheist children's trilogy presentation now, will post more pics and stories of tomorrow's amazing quadruple bill of four tet, manitoba/caribou, junior boys, and the russian futurists. also mere blocks away from the place i artfully decorated with pictures of mexican films and sites of celebrity deaths and now dare to start calling home. as ever, f.
