June 6th
Today marks 30 days remaining in my 30th year of life and this blog. Ironic that my mom, who was 30 when she gave birth to me, was in town for her solo weekend visit. 
We trekked all the way downtown to the Maritime Marine Building (better known to me as the Governor's Island Ferry Building) to see an installation work called Playing The Building by David Byrne. While he's widely known as the former lead singer of the Talking Heads, he's also an amazing artist, writer, and solo musician.
In this installation, Byrne rigged an organ to various forced air pipes and hammers around the building to produce a surprisingly harmonic sound. You can wait in line to try your hand at coaxing music from an old building or just sit back and enjoy the peaceful open space and fractured light.
