This is too big. Why did I ever think I could catch this?
A sunset, an entire sky…heaven itself…all with some horsehair and oil. And it’s setting, it’s all going so fast. I don’t have time, someone please press pause. I don’t have that shade of gold, the one in the lower left corner, where that portion of sky meets that portion of water and it’s dancing and it’s changing now, just in this moment, and there it changed again. I have a kaleidoscope of colors, but none for the most important part and I need this to be it.
I need this to be it, to remember why I fell in love with art in the first place, I need it to forget the Professors and their methods and the daily critiques, to forget any tear stained piece I’ve thrown away, to erase all the student loans, my parent’s disapproval, his screams to get my “shit” off the table… If I can get this, if I can just even come close, then things will change. I just know they will. So you see, whoever you are, I am sitting here silently, with a storm inside, pleading with you, for just this one break, to be let in on this one secret, please just let me find that shade of gold, please just let me catch this evening’s beauty, and please let me take it back and show the others…because somehow I think that things would be different…if not for them, then at least for me. Because I’ll put all this splendor above my bed and escape each night in my dreams…

This is too deep. How do I plan to go about catching this? An entire being, an entire entity, an entire universe…all with a box and some film? And with so little time left…the sun is setting, it’s going fast. There, that look her face, I just missed it, someone please press pause. The light is dancing and it’s changing as reach for my bag. I’ve just asked her if I can take her photo. She said yes and smiled…or did she? The ocean isn’t behind me. It’s in that subtle smile…She is exquisite in her peaceful poise. Does she realize the favor that she has done for me, to have this chance? Because I need this to be it.
I need this to be it to remember that it’s more than just this. I need it to forget my desk job, the taxes, the fluorescent lights, super markets and stock markets. I need to be believe that time can be stilled, if only for a moment and that while everything keeps spinning at million miles a minute and aging and death and loss are inevitable, that perhaps I have some say in the matter. And I need this to be it because it’s another piece to the puzzle, the one I spend hours in darkrooms trying to figure out.
So you see whoever you are, I am not just talking with you, I am standing here hopeful, with a goal in mind, pleading for you for this one glimpse, to be let in on this one secret. Please just let me catch that look and that light and let me take it back and show the others. Because somehow I think they would look at her and see themselves and maybe understand…and if they don’t, then at least I will, and I’ll hang this Mona Lisa moment above the mantle and come to her whenever I need help with the mystery.

This is too intricate and the cycle is too complex. In what way did I think I could ever go about catching this? A theory, a concept, the creative spirit…and all with paper planes and pencils. I’ve never known this before, never seen it this clearly, never quite seen the story laid out in quite this way. The subject of a subject of a subject, the circular pattern of it all, all so unaware that while we are watching, we are also being watched, and while we are creating, something else is being created. But the sun is setting and it’s going fast. And I don’t have the right word yet, and the answers to my questions might not stick around long enough for me to find the sentences and stick them to the page, somebody please press pause. The stories are dancing but they are already changing as I reach for my pen. And I am praying as I scribble, because I need this to be it. I need this to be it to remember that it’s worth the mental torment and minimum wage jobs. I need it to forget the wastebaskets filled with rough drafts, forget the insecurities, bitten nails, and endless pots of coffee. I need it to know that the days ahead will be worth it, and that this path has promise.
So you see, I am sitting here crying to you with a task unknown, begging to have my eyes opened just a bit more, to be let in on this one secret. Please just let me catch this word and this Truth and let me take it back and tell the others. Because somehow I think the heart of an artist would recognize these events, these pleas, this desire, and know that it is their story too, that it’s always been theirs, and that maybe they will be as encouraged in their craft as I have been, to try and tell it.

The Feltronification of Tumblr.

Image by dpstyles™
This seems to be all the rage (and I like it). Feltron did it first. Nike+ in a different way not too long after. Wii Fit last year. Foursquare recently.

A few thoughts:

#1. I don’t think the stats at the top are that interesting unless you can see stats-over-time (we’re guilty of this with foursquare too). I want to see progress (like Wii Fit shows me). How is my usage making me a better person (is that too much of a strech?) or more interesting? With foursquare, we’re hoping to get to the point where we can (a) encourage people to do new things and (b) show people stats on the new places they’ve gone/ new people they’ve met / new things they’ve done ("progress over time") and I’m wondering if Tumblr can expose something like this via categories/tags/reblogs, etc. Are you talking/blogging about new/different things then you were 3/6/12 months ago? Are you discovering more stuff (as opposed to re-blogging) than you were before. Are these stats even interesting to people besides nerds like me? Hmm..

#2. Wish I knew the secret sauce that makes "Tumblarity" – anyone
know the algorithm? Is it posts? Or influence/ audience? Or a combination? (I’m hoping it’s more influence/ audience). I really like the "up/down 10" since yesterday thing. I’ve long wanted to do stock market popularity indexes based on dodgeball (now foursquare) activity (we expose a little of this with the "Top Friends" in foursquare stats and the old "Best Friends Index" I used to have on teendrama)

#3. "Followers" and "Likes" strike me as good forms of social currency (I’m surprised Twitter doesn’t also do "Likes")… we could use more of this w/ foursquare. I wonder if Tumblr is going to do anything besides just collect and rank based on them. We’ve been talking foursquare points translate into [insert highly covetable item] here… I wonder if Tumblr can find a way make this work too.

#4. I’m not the first to say this (Peter Feld?) but I think the stats may increase the signal-to-noise ratio on Tumblr (in the same way that foursquare points have increased the number of not-so-interesting checkins on foursquare… e.g. haircuts, coffee shops, subway stations). I think we [foursquare] can get away with it because more checkins = more chances to meet up (, right?) tho I wonder if this will cause Tumblr to feel "less curated" (in the same way Twitter is starting to feel these days) because people are trying to run up their numbers / Tumblarity.

Still, looks very hot tho and looking forward to see how this evolves. Nice job David + crew.

NYC: 21 Club

Image by wallyg
After the 18th Amendment went into effect ushering in the Prohibition Era, cousins Jack Kriendler and Charlie Berns opened their first speakeasy, The Red Head, in Greenwich Village in 1922. In 1923, they followed with Club Fronton before moving operations uptown to West 49th Street in 1926, with a new club called The Puncheon (also referred to as 42 or the 42 Club). In 1928, they were given k to vacate the site that was zoned for Rockefeller Center development, and moved to West 52nd Street into a bordello previously owned by Hildegarde Adler. Moving the wroguth iron gate that fronted #42, they opened Jack and Charlie’s ’21′ Club in the wee hours on December 31, 1929.

Daily Mirror gossip columnist Walter Winchellis banned was from ‘21’ in 1930, and the next day ran a column noting that it had never been raided by Prohibition agents. The next day, ’21’ was raided. As a result, Jack and Charlie hired architect Frank Buchanan to install a complex system to hide and destroy liquor in case of future raids, including the infamous ‘21’ Wine Cellar, now considered one of the world’s most coveted private dining rooms. Behind several smoked hams that hung from the basement ceiling and a wall filled with shelves of canned goods, stood a perfectly camouflaged two-and-one-half ton door that appeared to be part of the wall. Only by inserting a slender 18" length of wire through one of the many cracks in the cement wall, would the secret door silently slide back to reveal ’21′s most coveted treasure: two thousand cases of wine.

In 1931, a model of the British Airways "flying boat" became the first corporate toy hung from the ’21′ ceiling. Today, hundreds of corporate logo toys, sports memorabilia and other mementos form a ceiling-scape, including a model of the PT-109 donated by President John F. Kennedy, a smashed tennis racquet from John McEnroe, Jackie Gleason’s pool cue from The Hustler, and mics from every NYC-based television and radio station.

In 1933, Prohibition was repealed and in 1934, Charlie created ’21′ Brands, a liquor importing/distilling/distributing company.

Thirty-one jockeys line signature grand staircase and wrought iron balcony, with two more posted inside the front door–the latest of which came from Sackatoga Stables, representing the 2003 KEntucky Derby and Preakness winner, Funny Cide. All myths aside, their origins can be traced to their affluent "horsy" clientele in the 1930′s. It all began with Delaware native Jay Van Urk, such a loyal patron that he had, in fact, his own private table and the distinction of having a dessert named in his honor. Sometime during the ’30s, Van Urk donated the first jockey as a token of his appreciation and a tradition was born. Over the years, some of America’s most famous breeders and owners, including high-profile "regulars" from the Vanderbilt, Mellon and Ogden Mills Phipps families, as well as the Galbreath clan, owners of Darby Dan Farms, followed suit.

In 1946, Walter Weiss came to work at 21 as a waiter before becoming "the legendary Matire’d" who wielded untold power over the New York City celebrity circuit by virtue of his seating arrangements. Every President since FDR has been a guest of ’21′ with the one exception of George W. Bush. John F. Kennedy dined at ’21′ on the eve of his inauguration. In 1931, Ernest Hemingway was caught making love to gangster Legs Diamond’s girlfriend in the kitchen. In 1944, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall got engaged at table 30. New York City mayor Jimmy Walker had a private booth in the corner of the cellar where he could still imbibe through a raid. The booth has been preserved today. Alfred Hitchcock was said to be fond of the steak with fries, followed by an ice cream parfair. It was here that he collaborated with Salvador Dali on the dream sequence in Spellbound, which refernced the 21 Club.

During the 1980′s, Forbes says "more deals are done at ’21′ than on the stock market floor." Appropriately, part of the movie "Wall Street" was filmed here.
Since then, the club has been sold multiple times, but the general vibe has not changed.
