"Summer of Love" at Whitney

Oooo...two in a row. Maybe I really am back. We'll see how long it lasts. Anyway...

Sunday my parents & I went to NYC. We drove in to Port Authority, walked through Central Park, and stopped at Ikea on the way home. Our main reason was to go to the Whitney to see their exhibit Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era. It was phenomenal. Amazing. And so much fun. The audio tour was a soundtrack of songs from the time. A huge part of the exhibit was a collection of posters, mostly from the Filmore & Filmore East. They were so cool. My parents were standing there trying to find concerts they'd been to. There were also a bunch of movies and light shows, created by some of the best of the time. My father & I went into one ("Lapis" by James Whitney), watch for a second, and then he turns to me and says "This would be so much better if you were on drugs." I swear. It was great. I almost died right in the middle of the museum, it was so funny. There were other interactive pieces as well. I think my favorite was "Phantasy Landscape Visiona II" by Verner Panton. It was a big room that was upholstered and had all these great curves and bumps that made seats & beds & shelves & stuff. Awesome. And you were allowed to get in and climb around. It rocked. All in all, a good day.
Tuesday I had an interview at Middlesex County College, and was given an algebra class. So now I'm up to three classes, and that means a lot of lesson plans. So that's basically my next few weeks - lesson plans and more lesson plans. Fun. Still better than the work I would have in a high school. Definitely thinking this was a good idea, taking college positions. I'd be dying if I were trying to do 25 lessons a week.
Anyway, back to work.

Later.
