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…

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?

Stunning winter day.

A visit to the Giants exhibition in Richmond was well worth the trip, even if it was cold as all getout.
Here’s what we saw. Eli came along. Romey did the tour. Betty followed her nose.

Hard to describe how stunning these pieces are. Photos don’t work.
FUCK ICE
Better not bring it to Virginia

Thanks to Betty for hosting yet another stellar visit to civilization.
And thanks to Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys for sharing.

We’ll start with the good. Getting from a Tyson’s BIML business lunch into DC by metro is so easy very easy. Public transportation is good.
We spent a couple of solo hours at the Hirschorn seeing mostly things seen and discovering Adam Pendleton.
Lauri’s room was empty. I really hoped she would sneak in and make some changes while I was there.
What?
And then on to Adam.
This film is worth waiting around for.
Since you can’t find the film on the net (boo), here is some boring as shit meta content.
We also watched a bit of Downtown 81 before heading north to Robyn Hitchcock.
We’ll end with the bad. The Congressholes in this building need to do their fucking jobs.

Apparently no visit to Pitsburgh is complete without a visit to Randyland. Hmmm.
It’s honestly just an interesting pile of junk.
See self
