Two & one-half days is not long enough to spend in New York City, particularly since Krishna & I hadn’t done a trip there by ourselves in a long while. Sans kids? Maybe 20 years. Mostly I’m going up for readings or she’s going up with friends or for conferences, the other one at home to care for the nest. But our hulking 17-year-olds don’t feel much need these days....

Sure, shows have coincided with the Festival, but there's not be a strong sense of planning. The 2010 Festival looks like an exception, with: Janet Cardiff at City Gallery Wellington Bill Viola at the Dowse Anthony McCall at the Adam Art...
