On a cheerier note, Raegan and I had a fabulous time in New York this last weekend. Moments after parking our car, we stumbled upon this strangeness: cops and secret-service clearing the street to allow some dignitaries to emerge unharmed from the spa in which they were presumably receiving facials. Here's a picture of a creepy-looking secret-service guy:
A big, chatty crowd was gathered, but nobody knew who to expect.

Given the amount of firepower present (black Broncos with roof-mounted machine guns) we all assumed it was somebody big. Bush or Cheney, maybe. Somebody mentioned a prime minister. But when they finally appeared, fully facialled, nobody recognized anyone. Which is kind of anti-climactic, I know, and maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it at all. But here's a video anyway. I wouldn't know the prime minister of Liberia if I had to pick him out of a lineup, but maybe you would. Have fun.
Download Quicktime if you can't view it.









Spamalot was high-larious. Here's a shot of Raegan settin' the mood before the show in Sardi's across the street.



Oh, and here's three I shot in the MOMA. They crack me up.
























For the record, Raegan hates Warhol. But she loves soup. Especially Vegetarian Vegetable.

You must be mistaken about who these "creepy-looking secret-service guy" was! The real Secret Service, drives Escalades, not Broncos!

You didn't get your car towed. Congratulations! Do you have any money left after paying the tolls? Last time I was there, I made the mistake of parking next to a church on Good Friday and had to walk to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to retrieve my car for $250 cash. (They don't take credit cards).

Maybe they were Liberian Secret Service.
