I just got done meeting Liz Dimmitt of Gumshoe and walked out the door of La Bottega cafe at the Maritime Hotel in Chelsea when I beheld this building – a felt as if I was looking at a structure from another world.  I was compelled to take a closer look.

I really have to go back to this building which is across the street from Chelsea Piers – Interactive employees are beginning to occupy the building – can Barry Diller be far behind?  This has got to be one of the most interesting buildings I’ve ever seen – it’s almost all glass – but the transparency changes based on the time of day, I’m told you can’t see in during the day but becomes much easier to look into later in the day – and I was moving by the building towards dusk.

I’m envious of the people who’ll work in this building – and I liked everything about the design, as well as the galleries across the street – this is truly Art.  I wanted to walk in – some construction is still going on.  Well, I’ll be back.

I went to a couple of Art Openings afterward, including Vincent Geyskens opening at the envoygallery, and another somewhere nearby – then I had dinner and went home.  But I did stop at Pearl Paints on 23rd Street and buy some expensive Oil Pastels and a new pad.

If I do make it to Paris in late May, I’ll probably only bring along a pad a bunch of Oil Pastels /Watercolors – maybe a portable easel; that’s actually enough for me.

Time to end this post – and interesting day!
