I was trying to help Yoshitomo Nara set up his computer with the system in the lecture room, McCormick 101. I had spoken the evening before without a hitch, and the system and his computer weren't talking to each other the next day. It took a while, but we got it going.

I was trying to help Yoshitomo Nara set up his computer with the system in the lecture room, McCormick 101. I had spoken the evening before without a hitch, and the system and his computer weren’t talking to each other the next day. It took a while, but we got it going. I was hoping Nara would do the presentation in English, but he opted to go with a highly over qualified translator – the Head Chair of East Asian Studies. David Howell. His katsu sweatshirt was too cool. Yabaton. They make their katsu with a miso sauce. It’s in Nagoya. This is more adjusting of the projection. I like how the light hits his face from the projection screen along with one of his paintings. It’s a cool shot. Nara points to the sleeping Tomio Koyama. After getting so excited by the Norman Rockwell painting in the Nassau Inn bar, he crashed out. Which one did Nara draw? The snow slowly melted away, and it actually wasn’t that cold out. This is dinner at a campus related place. Good food actually. The Too Cute! conference was coming to a close. The woman, Anne, who did a lot of the work to get the conference going is slightly pictured. I regretably didn’t get a photo of myself with her. She’s cool. The group of photos is done until there’s a food image. It was quite good.

Hail Satan! This is an amazing detail from old art. All of the kids who are doing metal looking art, check this one out. Done hundreds of years ago. The guy who did this was probably possessed and now it's all metal album covers and t-shirts. How many mouths does Satan have? That one near his crotch isn't the one to be near.
I see it. I'm bad with names sometimes, and this painting is evidence of...

I’m bad with names sometimes, and this painting is evidence of that. Modigliani This one is awesome. Nara described one of his works in the same way as I’d describe this one. There’s a line that comes from that girl that goes through the painting. The Princeton University Chapel here’s a link. The building looks amazing, and when I walked in, someone was practicing the organ which resonated throughout the building. I was hoping to hear a Star Wars theme, but it didn’t happen. It’s an amazing building, but it’s from 1924. I thought it would be a couple of hundred years old.
