My East Coast trip was a whirlwind one – 3 days in Boston, 3 in New York, bookended by late night/early morning flights. From the outset, I was in sleep debt, unable to sleep on the redeye. It eventually caught up to me and I caught a bit of a cold. But, it was overall a good trip – I saw quite a few friends and tons of family, ate well, and got some culture both in Boston and New York. Though I didn’t make it to the ICA, I did see an exhibit on scientific instruments at Harvard (great objects, but poorly annotated) and made it to both the Natural History Museum (whales! dinosaurs! big stone heads!) and Folk Art Museum (mediocre collection, but what a spectacular building) in New York.

I’m really looking forward to Nebunele Theatre’s upcoming show, Medea Knows Best. Their last show, The Secret Ruths of Island House was one of the best pieces of theater I saw in 2006 (and I saw quite a bit of good theater). If you’re in town from December 7th thru the 22nd, check it out.
