it was you

.



on saturday, i went to the dan graham exhibition opening at moca with rick; the only bad part about the night was some 30 yr. old woman asking if she could bum a cig off of me. other than that it was really nice; sonic youth played since the band is close with the artist--an added bonus. before going to moca, we went to a little udon place in little tokyo and ran into fabrizio; i tried very hard not to laugh at rick's attempt to eat asian noodles with chopsticks. i failed, but at least i didn't laugh as much as when he ran into a sanrio...
anyway.
the night was fun. it exceeded rick's expectations, at least, although we both ended up wanting to drop acid by the end of the night.
but that's what dan graham's work does to you, really.


then on monday i went for pancakes with rick and lauren and her friend marx before going to watch entre les murs. i've wanted to watch it since it was announced that it won the palm d'or at cannes, but to be honest, i had mixed reactions. it requires a very patient viewer, let's say, who's open minded enough to really analyze the relationship between student and teacher and the educational dynamic.
it was interesting. not necessarily provocative, but poignant all the same.


tomorrow morning i leave for fresno and will be back by sunday night.
fucking great.
