RC unpacks C.L.U.E. at The Physics Room in Christchurch, New Zealand¡
While
everyone in New York was having a simply ridykeulouse weekend (I just spent 13 minutes googling to remember how to spell ridykeulouse¡), robbinschilds (equal but differently hard to spell¡) is living it up down in the southern hem. Sad as we were to miss this weekends not to be missed festivities (ridyke, X- and Anna Halprin), we're feelin pretty pretty good from the bottom to the top¡ and if you're wondering why i'm exclaiming my enthusiasm with upsidedown exclamation points, its because a lot of things are opposite here in New Zealand. the water whooshes the opposite way when you flush, they drive on the left side of the road, its just turning summer in late November, and even in a town named after our lord, the police men and women don't carry firearms. (We learned a bit from the friendly police officer, Paul, who we sat next to on the plane down here. He'd just been visiting Denver on a cultural exchange and was shocked when asked by his American host cop what firearm he had with him while in town. Paul wasn't packing then and he isn't isn't packing now even as I write this blog.) With just 50 murders per year in the whole country, you have to ask yourself which came first, the chicken or the gun?¡ ...I dunno, I guess I'll have the lamb.
RC is being very nicely accommodated while here on our very first monthlong residency. We've been given a super cute apartment in the neo-goth Arts Center complex with our very own farmers market and weekend crafts bazar. Mostly been busy installing our show which opens Tuesday night at www.physicsroom.org.nz but fit in some exploring with our new friends. See Sonya and Layla go swimming in the chilly pacific.
more soon ....

the blog has arrived! could you zoom in on that south pacific swimming pic- it looks like your cheeks are upside down.
ReplyDeleteand watch out for giant errant icebergs- apparently some unusaully large ones just broke off of antarctica and are heading your way...
well mates is seems aj and me are you only commenters which is a shame as your kiwi dialect entry is downright hysterical and I don't mean my mother. I read it alound as suggested and it poured off the tongue like what I imagine that grilled apple pie would do if i got too drunk and puked it up.
