Nowhere travel stories
This weekend some rad folks threw a clandestine box truck party at a secret location. Everyone made really cool environments in their box trucks. Laura and Robyn made a campfire box truck and I presented some of the stories that Todd Chandler and I collected and edited with audio selects from the inimitable Annea Lockwood.

You can hear some more of the stories we recorded while floating with the Miss Rockaway Armada in 2006 and 2007 down the Mississippi River here: http://thebirdinmyheart.com/2009/01/storyboat/

Lauren from feastforbush.com showed this amazing project at Salon Adelphi. She made delicacies to commemorate the Bush presidency that are ridic. Check out the props here.
Here’s her Dick Cheney birdshot salad:
This band Buke and Gass is completely amazing. AMAZING. They played at Salon Adelphi this Saturday and totally tore the roof off. Today I have tweeted them and made multiple facebook status updates about them Then I bought their CD. You know when you just totally fall in love with a band? It’s like that. AND! We discovered only after the band arrived that Porter and the drummer/’gass’ player went to high school together. Here’s an interview with them in a mag called “elitish” where they talk about their crazy homemade instruments.

me & rubes walking home, originally uploaded by antlered.
This was the best week ever because Rubin visited me from Canada and James and Seb were here from Wales on their way home. It’s good to have visitors because it gets you out of the house. On Monday Dark Dark Dark played at Zebulon and so many people I love to bits came through. Ben Mortimer and Kara Blossom even showed up fresh off the plane from Berlin. Yesterday was the first gathering of a new raft project. SO good to see everyone in one place. I even got to see Governor’s Island AND Katharine AND Laura AND Duncan. Governor’s Island has an amazing installation by Anthony McCall.
This was Dark Dark Dark’s encore of Trouble No More with everyone singing along:
Also, some very important squirrel-related updates HERE. Marc the squirrel man is verifying that he is indeed the feeder and friend of Columbia University squirrels, though there are some who would claim he is a liar. This would, however, be proven wrong as of late. Note the proof below:

Anthony McCall
Anthony McCall’s work encompasses three distinct sets of practices: the sculptural, the pictorial, and the cinematic. Consisting of two elegantly simple light projections, Between You and I expands on the two basic components of cinema-time and light-in order to create a spectacular, immersive environment. As the projected light beams slowly travel through mist, they begin to carve out sculptural shapes in space. The fields of light interact with one another, the visitors in the space, and the striking architecture of historic St. Cornelius Chapel. Though the two shapes never meet, they are in a constant play-suggesting that, like two human companions, they attempt to comprehend themselves in relation to one another.
Here’s a video of sailing in Maine this weekend while visiting a bunch of oyster farms.

the awesome sight as i drove down the hill from the epic journey to find porter, originally uploaded by antlered.
First sailing weekend of the summer (on a sailboat not a raft). It was glorious despite the bad weather warnings and the actual bad weather. We managed to catch some drops of sun and some light wind to tool around orr’s and bailey islands in Maine.

Thursday! Benefit for Swimming Cities of Serenissima, our dearest friends who are living the dream in Venezia!
I’m back in New York from an awesome float on the Swimming Cities of Serenissima and I took lots of pictures! Check them out here. In the time I was there we set out for Venice on the Adriatic Sea and got caught by the Bora, a crazy ancient wind that has been wrecking boats since time eternal and can blow up to 125mph. The video of Alice (the boat) getting through the waves doesn’t do it justice, but you can kinda see them getting tossed around toward the end of it.
