New art show's up, pt. 1. we're actually friends with the guy who does the pinstriping, he's nice. last year he was one of the first 26 pinstripers to have an exhibit in an actal museum.
“It is the suburban ordinariness of all this that seems, for a moment, absolutely wonderful, a somewhat Jewish history with no martyrs, no sages, no philosophical torment, the grumpy Almighty not much in evidence; a place of happy banality; much stuck into property disputes, dressing up, weddings and festivals; tough army boys living next door to the even tougher goyishe boatmen of the rough waters; a place of unguents and alleys, throwing stones in the river and lingering under the palms; a time and a world altogether innocent of the romance of suffering. but, wouldn’t you know it, trouble came, all the same.”
-The Story of the Jews, by Simon Schama
