L'Orange
If the weather holds up, if the ferry doesn't sink, if vandalism is kept to a minimum, and if the family members dragged along doth not protest too much, this weekend bodes well for a visit up to NYC to experience the Big Freebie @ Central Park.
I'll be sure to wear clothing that minimizes attention from the Gates. Perhaps an understated purple melange
Shoes of a welcoming nature will be a necessity. A friend, fiendish in his endeavours to hold off the ravages of time, has threatened we'd walk the full 23 miles of Christos' exhibit. Jesting? Not really sure. Endurance is his metier. He also has a sly way of persuading you to do what you'd thought physically impossible. I believe his portfolio leans heavily toward Epsom salts and Physical Therapy companies, so there are multiple payoffs.
Hopefully the dog piles and the bum dung have been removed from the trails. Otherwise, you won't be able to look up as you walk by the blowing fabric. But then, isn't that one of NYC's sensual pleasures?

What I'm really looking forward to is the ineveitable quick buck schems that will have proliferated throughout the park and the surrounding streets. Suckers, er, tourists are supposed to be ther in droves, so enticement of one type or another will be available at the Insts-stalls that instantly appear around such a happening. Art & kitsch, a quickie marriage headed for a quickie divorce come February 27th. For a NYC blogger's perspective on a walk through, check out Pepper of the Earth's take on a ramble through the Park.
