William Penn Omni - Statler
Category: hotels
It was awesome. So glad we stayed there. I wish we could have drank or eaten at the bar but we were so busy the whole time hiking around the city. I would totally go back there. Its a perfectly central location.

30 seconds! I meant 30 seconds.

hahaha, It took me a whole 30 minutes to realize that the orange and ice bottle was not some modern art sculpture thing and something to drink from. pathetic.

Grovey Cleves At The Western New York Book Arts Center
Category: art

We went to Mickey Harmon's Grovey Cleves art opening at the Western New York Book Arts Center on Friday. He had a voice actor reading excerpts from the book. Sadly we were a bit late.

I learned a bunch of interesting tidbits about the former president everyone talks about but no one seems to actually know anything about. The illustrations were playful and really drew you in. I am so jealous of his ability to bring his ideas to life with pen and paper.

My favorite piece was the shadowbox of Tumey Cleves, the hard palate tumor Glover had.

Not surprising, I was mega allergic to the gallery. I think I am literally allergic to books. I am so glad information has been digitalized. That being said, the art books look pretty cool and I just may return back to buy some gifts from the gallery shop.

(e:Robert) got me into cucumber sandwiches. I want to try cucumbers and waffles now.

Wow - did you take more pics of his art?? That picture of the palate or whatever it is looks so cool!

So is this the bloke who does all those pieces with book pages carved out of books?

Dancing at Wasteland
Category: dancing

We went to wasteland for a dance party last night. It's been a while since we got to dance in a nice wearhouse space. The decor was awesome, the BYOB was awesome, the dancefloor was amazing, music was great. Jenn Kay is the best dancer.

Tons of people smoking cigarettes in an enclosed place with no venitallation, not awesome. Seriously, who does that. My jacket smells sick. My lungs hurt. It reminded me of the days when everyone was smoking at the pink or underground. I feel like a little tumor started last night. I hope they die.

I really don't know why people smoke. Addiction must be an extraordinarily powerful psychological force for people to be able to put up with the nauseatingly sick smell of cigarettes.

Omni William Penn Hotel
Category: pittsburgh
(e:joe) and I are heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow for his sister's birthday. (e:terry) can't make it because he is sadly stuck in tax mire. I never stayed at an omni and really wanted to stay at the Omni William Penn
in downtime PA because it looks exactly like the statler on the outside but seems totally remodeled.

All the statler hotels look similar This one was built in 1940 versus ours which was built in 1907. I also stayed at Hotel Pennsylania in New York with my tortoise Sahara in 1996. Our train was damaged traveling between South Carolina and New York, so they put us up there. I never realized till now that it was so much like the Statler. I remember thinking the inside lobby was so fancy at the time.

Here are pics from the Pittsburgh one, lets hope it lives up to the name.
