Morning light…
The campus empties out on the weekends. Last night I walked back from the terrible italian restaurant across 9G accompanied only by swirling bats and low bird calls. The air was cool and quiet. The great majority of students were off in Red Hook installing the annual thesis show, which opens this Sunday at 2pm…. Continue Reading
Jackhammers outside. The usual notion about being up here in the summer is that it is quiet and idyllic. The only problem with that is that summer is the prime time for construction and building maintenance on college campuses. And Bard has a pretty aggressive building campaign, so there is always some sort of heavy… Continue Reading
Invitation to Viewing…
I can’t be there so I hope you will go in my stead. This evening is the opening of Neointegrity an exhibition curated by most excellent artist Keith Meyerson, at the Derek Eller Gallery. I, god_jr, and 180 other artists will have work on view, so there should be plenty to look at. Edit: I… Continue Reading

This is my eleventh summer, and I feel saturated. In the program I… Continue Reading
On the verge of a nap…
Made it up to Bard intact. The room is pretty much set up. I’m in my usual building but not my usual room, and in fact this one is much nicer. I was on the road when I realized I forgot to pack my kilt. My mom drove me and Lehigh up here and then… Continue Reading
Wherein our hero…
…spends the day doing the stuff he should have done yesterday. But still doesn’t quite do enough. No tags for this post…. Continue Reading
Getting Stuck…
What I should have been doing: Getting ready for my time up at Bard: cleaning, packing, etc. What I did instead: Rushed off to http://www.devilcitypress.com/ to get in line for a $20.00 tattoo. Something about it, despite the flock of New York hipsters, was redolent of the the first golden age of tattooing, when you… Continue Reading
