sliding sculptures? shehawken March 13 2007, 15:01:07 UTC

hmm... that looks like a big bunch of claustrophobic panic to me. Thank you, no.

Re: sliding sculptures? pipesdreams March 13 2007, 16:40:53 UTC

Yes, I have a recurring dream where I jump into a gigantic slide that looks suspiciously like these - metal below and glass on top - and then when I emerge at the bottom, I discover I'm coming out of a feeding chute in a shark tank, and I look up at the watery light filtering down from above to see dark fishy shapes circling towards me because I am Lunch.

I'm pretty sure I'd have the mother of all panic attacks based on vertigo, claustrophobia, etc. as I got into this contraption, but I would never let something as paltry as fear stop me from doing something truly fun.

Remember the lesson of the penguin in Fight Club: sliiiiiiide.

They have *slides* at the Tate Modern museum? That's *so* going to the top of my `what to do on my first, long, jet-lagged day in London this summer' list. Why didn't I know?

Sorry you're feeling blue - I think it might be weather-related too - it's getting nicer outside, but still not nice enough. Are you coming out for St. Paddy's day this weekend? I know a good bout of hops & forbidden fried potato products always helps me out of a funk!

The game show I had just finished auditioning for when I ran into you on the subway last summer... I was on, and I won :) 6000 bucks!

Excellent. I intend to harass Mia (she's in London now) until she submits to my will and goes and does the slide so I can live through her vicariously ( ... )

St. Paddy's Day lamagnifique March 14 2007, 12:06:37 UTC

Also, my roomies are Irish - from Belfast - and we're going to Greenwich to a great pub for St. Paddy's day. Basically we're going there for lunch and we're staying ALL DAY. How awesome is that going to be? How drunk am I going to be?

I am going to go back to the Tate Modern (prolly next week) so I will check how long that installation is going to be there. I cannot believe I forgot to tell you I went down it! I met my friend Heather there and I wouldn't let her leave until I tried the slide. SO. FUN.

Hey, have you got your outfit completed for Friday night?

pipesdreams March 13 2007, 15:40:30 UTC

Not even a little bit completed. Have you got suggestions? Because I'm taking them! I need a kick in the pants for this event, because my existential malaise is keeping me from going to Malabar to rent an adequately awesome 1940s outfit. Boo.

lostvoice March 13 2007, 15:52:06 UTC

Hrm. Not off the top of my head, sadly. I was just looking forward to seeing what you'd concocted.

Bad Malaise! Keeping MoFo from being inspired! She was looking forward to Friday night.

boo!!!

You can borrow my pearls, if they'll suit. I don't think they're real, but whatever (said Ted Mosby-style).

I wanna go Sliiiiiiiiiide! ;)

shehawken March 13 2007, 16:03:38 UTC

why does this not surprise me? *g*

Wheee!! lamagnifique March 14 2007, 12:03:57 UTC

I JUST TOTALLY FUCKING SLID DOWN THAT THING LAST WEEK AND IT WAS TOTALLY TOTALLY AWESOME. Except for the part where I was a little afraid my ass might get caught, but I was okay.
