Huh. I walked right past this thing the other day and thought it was just an uninteresting art installation. Turns it it's much cooler than that. I love this town.

Laurie Anderson is not upcoming. She happened last weekend. I watched it live. It was more rambling, less focussed, and kind of disappointing, but it was awesome to see it live.
I can't find the link for where to watch it online still, but I think it expires tomorrow anyway. If I do find it, I'll post it, but it seems to have vanished, so maybe it's gone already.

This reminds me of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. In that movie the protagonist sees a man building a boat on a rooftop. Am ice cream truck driving French speaking Jamaican man takes Forest Whitaker's character to the top of a building to show him the boat in progress. He's going on about how it's the craziest thing he's ever seen in French. Whitaker can't understand a word he's saying, but they still communicate.
It's a strange film, but I loved it.

It's a Jim Jarmush movie. That pretty much describes them all.
