The MoMA

The Museum of Modern Art is my all time favorite museum in the city and has been for as long as I can remember. That says a lot & holds a lot of weight because I’ve been going there and admiring it all since I was about 12 years old. I’d been a part of an extracurricular program for children with disabilities where I was there as a kid to immerse myself in all the different types of art that they had to offer. This was immeasurable for me as a young artist, and a disabled artist at that. That experience was my introduction to the MoMA, and since then I’d been hooked - for lack of better words. As a now 21 going on 22-year-old (by the time this comes out I’ll be 22), it is in my opinion, the most communal of all the museums in the city. You can be ratchet and free with your friends within the walls of the MoMA and enjoy and learn about any type of art or anything related to art there, and that’s literally just what is - you just kind of lose yourself there til doors close at 5:30.

going to see 1 specific piece at art museums

I get very tired at art museums, so once I get the lay of the land, my next visit is usually just one or two pieces, for maybe 10 minutes of absorption. Examples: the Frank Stella wall piece on the staircase at SF MOMA, the painting at the National Gallery East by some Dutch master from the perspective of inside a deep riverbed with two bridges and some city buildings above, the Iranian metalwork vessels with amazing mosaic bead work at the Sackler Gallery. In and out, tightly focused.

solo museum trip

i love the people watching while at the museum, along with the exhibits. part of the fun of seeing my favorite painting is with the accessory of the disgruntled looking couple who’s first date is very clearly mediocre!

TRISHA PAYTAS LIVE AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

My coworker-turned-best friend and I have been exited for this night for many months, I bought the tickets for her birthday in February along with a Bare-bells protein bar. Our friendship is simple and low-maintenance, which is why I think it works so well. We decided to do as Trish would and grab some spinach and artichoke dip as a pre-soireé bite at the classic Bill’s, located in The Rock. The waitress had a “Bonita” neck tattoo and brought both of us the wrong beer. We drank them happily. While headed back to get in line with the rest of the chronically-online, pink cowboy hat queers, we passed The American Girl doll flagship store. I find the families and energy of the air around this specific brick & mortar is so beautiful, I see young girls with maroon bags that are as big as them with an even bigger smile on their face and all I can think about is when I got my Julie doll for Christmas in 5th grade. The vibe in line was crazy. A-lot of SHEIN skirts and amazon accessories, paired with merch t-shirts from previous years of the expansive Trisha lore. We opted out of getting a drink at the theatre because; as I’m sure anyone reading this knows, two High-Noons runs you about $30 in this bustling city of lights. The show was amazing. She constantly reminds me that she is one of the rare success stories to come out of an lol-cow adjacent creator-to-fan relationship. Lowkey has a great voice too. The highlight of the show was her rendition/mashup of “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra, and “Empire State of Mind” by Kanye West. Towards the end of the show she had quite the touching story of her struggle with BPD and Depression. Seeing her in her customized, bedazzled “I ❤️ NY” crop top, 6 months pregnant pulled something from within me - I couldn't help but shed a tear. Overall an Incredible experience. I love you Trisha Paytas.
