Oopstock 33

Leave a comment

33 years in a row? The felst, aka Oopstock, aka, Rhinefest is almost past the age of possibly being the messiah. Seems unlikely, but representation these days is very surprising. It was a great iteration…though short for us.

Rhine and April had just returned from their stint in South America and out West (skipping the Stick!) one week ahead of the big party. They are crazy.

Of note. Puppets. And crazy neighbor charisma and talent.

Nick would not like this aspect of puppetry.

Puppets even play the bass.

Rhine and April were in rare form (along with “Other Gary”…I being the nice one these days. We do need some spares in case of emergency though.). It’s like they practiced or something.

I didn’t record the new ones…boo. But Romey already knew all the words.

We were in and out with Spool again using Boston as a base of operations. Raffles for the win this year…a far sight better than the pool full of kids.

Romey made us thrift. LOL. This is her ancient friend of Yore Otto. Otto of course did remember Romey. Because everyone does.

We did jazz at the Mad Monk Fish as has become the tradition.

Escher Goes to London

An excellent Escher show…does anybody know which direction it is in?

Absolute masterpieces on hand.

Replete with not that cheesy (but still cheesy) video interpolations.

A very long tesselation, filmed live.

Who dat? We know who dat

The tornado alone is worth a visit. Stunning views. Gorgeous conception.

And then there is the art.

Disappointed with the rijksmuseum? Well the Moca is for you. Now if we can just keep this secret.

All our faves and a few newbies to boot.

You Can Just Skip the Rijksmuseum

OK. It’s mandatory if you go to Amsterdam. But this has to be the worst organized major museum in the world. The architect was an idiot. Want to get from 3 to 3? Well, first you go down to 0 then cross through the throngs of confused lost tourists and go back to 3. Got that?

Look, if you have to ask how to get to EVERY SINGLE LOCATION maybe something is off. Anyway there is lots to see, if you can find any of it.

Vaguely disappointing as always. Maybe if we just liked tourists more…

The National Portrait Gallery

There is a hidden gem of a musuem in DC that is often overlooked by tourists and locals alike—the national portrait gallery. We recently paid a visit with Cyn and Eli. Eli was in town for a robot shindig of sorts.

The inner courtyard is amazing (and smells like a jungle).

p.s. grandma moses was a hack

Too many people and not enough art. Paparazzi. People having fun. Buzz.

And all this downstairs from my room at the Georgian.

Maybe you want to buy one of these $50,000 things?
