I actually just flew back home from NYC tonight... stayed there a week at a friends place in Brooklyn.. Had the time of my life. Didn't see those installations but saw a couple others as well as the MoMA and Metropolitain Museum of Art. Cool stuff.
while we're on the subject, has anyone in NYC heard of smoking cigarrettes on the brooklyn bridge? Some huge dude with dreds threatened to beat the shit out of my friend and I because we were smoking cigs on the walk up to the bridge... it was a very strange experience to which we got no explanation from our friends who lived in NYC.

well it was really strange.... we were making our way up to the bridge and this first guy looks at the cigarettes and then at us and has this look on his face like "okay, if you know what you're doing" and then a dude like 2 mins after that is the one who started shit saying he should knock us out and bullshit like that, and as he walked away he was like "smokin cigs on here, I HOPE you all make it" and we're like "make it?? like across the bridge?" so we finished our cigarettes before getting on the bridge, but while we were on there we saw a dude smoking a cig and no one seemed to notice or care... and as you said the wind was blowing upwards of 30 miles an hour up there so I don't think anyone had to breathe much of it in... it was really a bizarre situation and both of the people who had a problem with it were black, not that it matters to me, but it seemed like some sort of reverse racism to the effect of: "we dont like no whiteys smoking on our bridge."

ok, thanks man I appreciate your interest in solving my puzzling encounter. :) I think one of my friends from NY actually did google it to see if he could find anything, but I could be mistaken.

I want to go to nyc and stay at the chelsea for a couple days. Alone. I like travelling alone sometimes. Just walk around and soak in the place.

hey another thing... the scale is really strange in those pictures, it seems way smaller than it is
look at it empty - how tall do you think somone standing would look?
is it just me that finds that interesting?

:P I realized after I said that how racist it must make me look. I didn't mean it like that, but that is essentially the vibe we got from those two dudes.
chambre: we were just wearing coats/hoodies that had no words on them at all, let alone anything that some groups may find offensive. The only thing I could think of that might make sense is that lots of people jog or bike-ride up there, so maybe it has some unwritten rule of being for the health/excercise fanatics... except that the two people who were put off by it weren't in any kind of exercise get-up... more like thug/bum attire.
