It seems appropriate that in my last visit with a free place to stay and time to kill that I find how much I like hanging out in New York City. With no real plan I spent several hours wandering. No ideas or destinations, just walking with my Ipod on and some Sigur Ros bringing me to another place in my mind. It is such a different world down there, and or the first time I found I really like it. My previous reaction has always been that it is too fast paced for me, but I find that if you don't let the city set your pace than this is a mute point. The culture, the style, the people, it all becomes this strange world that begs to be wandered through. After spending a week with Jesh De Rox, I have found myself experimenting a lot with textures. What better place to harvest samples to work with but the streets and buildings of the city. The anonymity of the city allows a certain freedom to be who ever you want and no one will question it, if they even notice it at all.
Although it may be less convenient I think I will be spending more time, getting to know my new friend.... New York City.
(the second picture is Will Smith's house in I Am Legend, so if the world ever gets taken over by night dwelling cannibalistic zombies, this is a good place to stay....... for awhile ; )
