Not much longer into the same spring (on May 10 , 2010) as the Richard Prince opening at the Salon 94 outpost on the Bowery, this blogger went to see the yogi Bikram Choudhury (usually just known as Bikram ) whose 26 hatha moves he had doing for six plus year speak at the Riverside church under the auspices of the new East Harlem Bikram Hot yoga center. Wearing a white hat and suit like on his lounge singer c.d’s Bikram amused the crowd to no end while being forthright but never phony.
Later he got a gold Times Square statue to pose
Next I went to an exhibition at a French Restaurant in South Orange, New Jersey area dedicated to sunflowers curated by a woman named Madelaide a long time bff of my great friend Deborah Rabinsky and featuring among other Deborah’s husband Rick Hildebrandt’s blossoms.
Next was the world cup and the ESPN network had some fantastic posters placed on the side of the bus terminal known as the Port Authority.
