In the morning we went for a walk along the river.
This is the Millenium Bridge, a very funky one cuz it rotates to let boats go under...
Then we went to the Baltic which used to be a flour mill but now is a contemporary art musuem.
They had some very interresting exhibitions. I really like the ones by Barry McGhee about graphiti culture and one by Cameroon-born Paris based Barthelemy Toguo which was about colonialism, global exchange and over information...
One that really freaked me out was Mark Titchner's. It was basically a dark room with trance music, huge billboards on sides with self motivation messages and a screen displaying strobbing images...Remember the scene in Lost when Kate and Sawyer were asked by the bad guy's daughter to help her save her boyfriend and they find him in a room stucked to a chair with loud trance music, screens, etc??? well it was almost the same thing...I was a bit anxious so we went to the kids lounge to chill...
On the way back to my sister's, i found Drink Water's new signature...forget about Swizz Beats, THIS is the real one man band...
Al cooked a marvelous lunch...roasted chicken, friend bacon, sausages, peas, potaoes, meat sauce, gravy...it was so delicious even Dookie was maaaad she couldn't eat with us...i'd react the same if i had milk only (and mashed mango)..haha
In the afternoon, we went for a walk...this giant glowy worm is the Sage. It is basically a Music center with two huge concerts venues with amazing acoustic, a library with nothing but books and magazines about music, listening stations and a free workshop space with computers, gear and keyboards...yes, it seems like heaven to me !!!
...and then we spent the rest of the day playing with Dookie...I'm sad I'm not gonna be able to see her again until May...look how cute she is !!!
