Von and I had the privilege of staying at an incredible place called Brunel Sculpture Garden in Boiceville NY for a week. The garden is a home to gigantic cement sculptures created by Emil Brunel who lived and worked on the property 100 years ago. The grounds are now lived on and meticulously maintained by a wonderful couple, Cynthia and Evgeny Nikitin. They are wonderful people and extremely generous and inspiring hosts. One day Cynthia and Evgeny took us to visit their friend Nick Della Penna. Nick is a visionary man who created a folk art site called Rock Star meadows. Him and his late partner Estelle Ross would dig up huge boulders from riverbeds by hand without the use of any tools and drag them great distances back to his property to use them in gigantic stone walls and towers. He’s 82 and he looks like he could be in his 60s. His brute strength, determination and willpower is profoundly staggering. Nick also makes amazing marble statues and mosaics that he fills the place with. He has friends and admirers that come and assist him in his work. I’m hoping to return as soon as possible to help Nick move his boulders and build his walls. Truly an extraordinary man.

by Matisse. I saw this one in person when I went to London for the first time and was absolutely gobsmacked. I don't think I'll ever forget the rush of warmth I felt seeing this piece. I went back to the Tate Modern like three times in as many weeks to see it again and again and again.

plugging myself because obviously…
if you are an overthinker, party girl, have fire sign placements and/or anxiety, enjoy liz phair, olivia rodrigo, sheryl crow, or the strokes…. perhaps give it a whirl. it has found it‘s way to many “summer 24” playlists and that makes me smile :) there is also a very funny music video on youtube. thanks all music lovers for considering

there is nothing better than a solo date to see a band you love. no shouting over the crowd to your date, freedom to dance as crazy as you want, peak people-watching. get as drunk as you want, who cares. talk to a stranger or don’t. tip the bartender and merch person, befriend the bouncer. you are the main character when you are on an adventure with yourself. who knows you better than you…? music is so euphoric and transformative, i will always cherish my solo concerts

how has no one said this one yet? chappell is winning music right now and this tiny desk certainly was part of that. between the stripped down live arrangements, matching pink band outfits, comedic personality in between songs, the wig (insane), and her VOICE….truly this performance is beyond i could watch it a million times
