Ego, money, power, abuse, restriction… shame on those who stain the “holy” teachings.

Tonight we went to the Mayson Gallery inaugural inauguration “Launch” featuring works by Doug Henders, Scott Hewett, Michael Oatman, Jeff Quinn, Bastienne Schmidt, and Rodger Stevens. It was way too crowded to see the works, but it was fun. Particularly because we enjoyed dinner at almost next door Jin Japanese restaurant.
But we wish we were at another art inauguration: IVAM`s Claudio Zirotti.
My dear friend and mentor presents “Without Time” (PDF), an excellent exhibit of his wonderful art at Valencia`s IVAM Modern Art Institute, until February 19th 2012.
Pretty amazing: I am putting out fires with a customer in Colombia, with the help of an engineer in Japan, coordinated with the headquarters in Spain… while sipping on a coconut white bubble tea at Argo Union Square.
I used to think that a travel would much more interesting the more anecdotes and curious things happened on it. But as years go by, one learns the pleasure of a relaxed journey, of a memorable trip for the sake of it. This quick business trip to Salvador do Bahia (Brazil) has been one of those… almost.
I stayed at one “has-been” old-glory hotel (formerly belonging to Le Meridien), with a movie-set location: at the very tip of the peninsula, sea on both sides, and an absolutely stunning view from my 22nd floor room.
Back in Chicago for a day. Delayed flight out of NY JFK (air traffic), cloudy and windy in Windy City (whats new), work, work, work, and cancelled flight out of OHare due to…wind. Shit. Stuck in the airport most of the night, waiting for the next flight out.
At least I got a taste of the Tesla Roadster… only to discover it is too small for me!
Vegan Korean teahouse and restaurant Franchia. And leave turkeys alone.
PS: This morning I missed Macy`s Thanksgiving Parade because I miscalculated the angle. From my living room, the Empire State Building blocks the view, and from the sun deck (50th floor), being 2 streets to the East and 5 to the South made the viewing impossible. Next year, better to go to Central Park in the morning.
I hate charitable dinners where most (or almost all) of the money goes to caviar, tuxedos, valet parking and other hoopla.
Fortunately there are other charitable dinners, where you wont see any <a title="https://www.escolar.net/MT/archives/2011/11/la-nueva-politica-de-igualdad.html" href="https://www.escolar.net/MT/archives/2011/11/la-nueva-politica-de-igualdad.html" target="_blank">PP mothers</a>, like yesterdays organized by Didi, where people sit on the floor, eat off plastic plates, and enjoy Didis deliciously vegan cooking and sincere love, so just about all money collected goes to Calcuttas orphans.
