last night was cool. lots of people gathered at family nyc. you might think it was a book fair for art snobs. and it was. but it was so much more. a place for old friends to meet up. a convenient spot for out of town vacationers. and of course, it was the text of light show that made it so special. some people couldn't stand the show. but to the tried and true it was a supremely moving experience. the films projected were stellar and the scores (were they scores?) were out of this world.
i got a good spot and i was transfixed while thinking up a lot of ideas i have read or thought about film and music. if sonic youth make music from the sounds of the city, what are the ingredients of text of light? plaid shirts? three-point turns? the universe?
anyway, thanks 4 a grate time!
