Art, Dancing,Friends, Art, Wine, whatta life

Last night SUper fun housewarming party at artist jane martin's house in springs. walk the long driveway through the woods to get there....wombat crossing signs making me laugh. all her art on the walls..beautiful...mystical, textural.bookshelves bursting with goodness: Hafiz, Rumi, artists like Michal Rovner, Robert Ryman...
Talking with all sorts. Some singing and sing-a-long. Invite said bring your favorite dance music, so I couldn't resist...and towards the very end when there were less people and we were all tipsy and intimate I threw on dj cheb i sabbah and did a bit of temple dance.

Tonight we went to the reception for round two of the North Fork/South Fork show at the parrish museum...readings by local writers and poets followed by food and drinks and music in the art exhibit area. My favorite 3 pieces were by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. Wish I could share them with you but couldn't find pics on the web.
'Chocolate martinis'?....can you say yum.? some blend of choc and cafe liquor, vodka, milk. eegads, what a potion. It made me love everyone. Want to hug everyone. (I controlled myself with strangers).
Then to the Driver's Seat to hear Jeffy and the trio play. Talking with young artist Christopher, freaking him out a bit about the internet and cyberspace,about what's being developed. he won't have it, fear in his eyes..."It's not Real, it'll never be Real!!!" he kept repeating.;) I didn't have the heart to play deconstruct 'reality' for him then, because he really seemed scared...but it was a fun animated passionate discussion nonetheless.sweet kid.nightnight all.*smooch*

Book Description
In E=mc2, David Bodanis took the life's work of one of history's greatest geniuses and made it "astonishingly understandable" (Parade) to the everyday reader. Now he takes the reader through an average day in and around an average house, showing us the fascinating science beneath the surface-from the static between radio stations, to the millions of pillow mites that snuggle up with us every night, from the warm electric fields wrapped around a light bulb filament, to what really makes the garden roses red. With wit, whimsy, and delightful detail, David Bodanis explains it all in ordinary words--on an extraordinary tour...
