24/5-NY11 against Capitalism?

Gradually, it is changing into an almost every two days entry, but though there isn’t really very much to do here, plain laziness is to blame. Even when things do happen, as they do every evening, they clashed with one another and at the end you could only choose just one. The day before (mon), I did my washing at a laundry in the morning, and head for some bookshops with HK in the afternoon. Starting from those nearby, to those in mid-town. Going with HK has one gd thing, and it is I could venture into places I will not go by oneself, like into Barnes and Nobles bks, for HK needed a toilet, and discovered that there are new school T-shirts on sale there (visited columbia university yesterday, and their university bkshop is also a B&N, just as most of the universities I visited, it has simply dominated the market, it exchange for its stocking and handling of the courses textbooks, all displayed on shelf in a separate section.)
We stopped by Books-off, a japanese bkshop, with one floor english, mostly 1 dollar bks, and one half-floor upstairs of comics and downstairs a whole floor of japnese books. As we are browsing, I discovered this book with a Trans-Art title, and discovered some brillant (silly?) roadside observation photos, then next to it, I find this Roadside-Observation-ology which teaches you to practice it too. I originally thought of buying the trans-art for Luke Ching, but HK finally decided he wanted both, so ok, it saves me money for gifts. The Slominski for Pak is still with me anyway, for Momo asked me to copy it before giving it to Pak. here is what I find in the web about this author: http://blog.yam.com/mermaiddock/archives/1006635.html
then we headed off to Moma for the last of the series screening of Nam June Paik,
saw beuys appearing in this multi-media live show between paris and new york, which is more like a tvb entertainment event, with a girl wearing his trousers with a hole cut into it, for the future against capitalism, beuys said.
As for yesterday, I headed out again for some bkshops, before landing at The Kitchen for a free performance with live music, some video screening, and a hand held panning slide projection! Then I and HK headed for the China Insitute for a talk and screening on Yang Fu Dong. More detailed report on it in the next entry.
