I was contacted about creating and performing a spy-themed aerial act. Austin found a song for me and added in some special effects while Molly advised on costume. Mel and I performed as Solid Gold Dancers; a comedic act on this theme is in the works. My project <a href="http://www.underonedances.com" title="Under One Dances" target="_blank">Under One</a> is growing rapidly and this weekend we recorded 5 videos. One of the videos was with a friend of Molly’s from capoeira, <a href="http://underonedances.tumblr.com/post/47734267981/eileen-farrell-brooklyn-bridge-park-brooklyn-ny" title="Under One: Eileen. Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn, NY" target="_blank">Eileen</a>, in DUMBO. After we finished we went for a cup of coffee where we ran into Weinberg and a friend. NYC is such a small town. Last night Mendel fired up the grill for the first time this year and we had a bbq feast. Weinberg brought over his Fuji instax. I was caught working.<br/> Mendel was captured contemplating his acupuncture model - he spent the weekend in a tui na class. Not captured: college b-ball on the computer in the corner.<br/> Family. Friends. Good food.<br/> -ky</p>http://houseonbrooklyn.tumblr.com/post/47450859362http://houseonbrooklyn.tumblr.com/post/47450859362Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:49:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2f01565bf0fe0b3e6f4eb835c5b3e923/tumblr_mkuip7HYoS1r1nk8so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a470372b22c6a6668bb07af9fe6bfc16/tumblr_mkuip7HYoS1r1nk8so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>springtime at Witkem: mutant daffodils and a volunteer johnny jump-up</p>http://houseonbrooklyn.tumblr.com/post/47292278772http://houseonbrooklyn.tumblr.com/post/47292278772Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:15:07 -0400Crown Heightsflowers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5b062b998a64258ccf056641b002d406/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e575ab60c33922124b6c6abb221bfb10/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8cc36aaf5d853290981058a20e57643f/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0604f86cfd9a365ac80230737eff596f/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/114bc8636a018fd70c70685400acc5b2/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/babf34041f0b2696ba127f772ec9a34f/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a883131ccc79f9eb02b9da1dd6bf4313/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e7304a9a04213a6c90ecd683e8d09c99/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/dca1e9d5c7e40ec9a2967e6aa5d22b6e/tumblr_mknrbwN8cq1r1nk8so9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>While Molly was away with her Barnard girls, Mendel worked around the clock to create a custom door for their bathroom.
