Travelling on the NYC Subway

You have to admit it does look very cute with its mini wind jammer on it! Tried it out a bit more with my friends daughter and today I also listened to more spoken word - gave out a few more of my mini flyers to the people speaking the words and making some music... I still have many more places I could go to at this stage to get contributors... However, I now need to wait for a little bit and see who gets back to me as well as start reading for the theory part of my research! Ill write a longer journal entry, but can say making this community trail is a way for me to get to know the local community more and for that, it is worth it already!

In brief, I have now finished two weeks of my main recording for what I hope will be a pilot audio trail of the park. I have really enjoyed it and been extremely appreciate of everyone who has helped me in some way - from suggesting people to contact to being interviewed or even creating music for it!

I will continue to collect stories as they come, but will not actively pursue them during what will become a time of editing and report writing!!
