Corn on the cob

Hi Mom,

PS1, the Long Island City contemporary art museum, has always been cool/strange/a great place to visit. Today I discovered their summer Saturdays music party, and it got even better. Apparently during the summer and up until Labor Day they have these all day outdoor events that feature music, dancing, good eats and beer. 

A $10 ticket gets you in (cash only), and more cash nets you hot dogs, burgers, corn on the cob and the like. It's easy to eat endlessly because the lines are pretty efficient and even though the chili is $8, sitting amidst an installation, you somehow feel it's worth the price.

The crowd was decked out in huge sunglasses although the sky was overcast. A faint mist came spraying out of hidden spritzers to keep us all cool in the August humidity. I saw at least three dresses I'd like to own. Inside, they had an exhibit showcasing all the past installations. Every year it's a different concept but the same idea. I'll definitely be back next year...if not sooner.

Love,
Karen
