Bedford Avenue station 2AM from Barry Hoggard on Vimeo.

James and I saw and heard these wonderful people in the Bedford Avenue L station early this morning. We were on our way home after a wonderful dinner at some friends' apartment.

If you know who they are, please comment or email! We were too into listening that we didn't get a chance to talk to them before the subway arrived. I think all of the excellent wine at dinner might have affected our judgment as well.

Kiki and Bubu discuss the problems of the unfettered market and the possibility of planned economies. Go here if you don't see the video above.

Yes, the video is two years old, but I still love it. I think that might be Rufus Wainright playing a shoe salesman at one point.

Here is some entertainment while I'm blogging elsewhere.

The last one reminds me of James and me at plays with badly-behaving audiences.

This is a VernissageTV video of a performance by Rachel Mason at Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland. In this clip she performes "Dzhokhar Dudayev (Chechen Wolfes)". Visit the VernissageTV website for more information and more video.

Here is my quick video of Flora Wiegmann's performance during the preview of the Whitney Biennial as part of the "Animal Estates" project of Fritz Haeg. Click the screen icon on the lower right for a bigger version. She's a wood duck!
