NYC trip

We did a trip to NYC in celebration of our 18/23/33 anniversary. (18 years of marriage, 23 years of living together, and 33 years of knowing each other.)

It was the weekend before the real dates, but it was what we could swing, and a great trip. The theme was vaguely "Porcelain." (I think I read somewhere that this was a "modern" theme for the 18th anniversary, but I could be making this up.)

Anyway, the reason for the trip was the exhibition of Boulder ceramics legend Betty Woodman at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a very nice small, show, but gave a good sense of the range of her work. We stayed at the Shoreham Hotel primarily to be just steps away from our favorite restaurant Menchanko Tei.

Other highlights. Guo-Qiang on the Roof: Transparent Monument: a noon smoke at the Metropolitan. Dinner in Chinatown. The History Boys.
