I was told that the Brooklyn Museum hosts free admission on the first Saturday of each month where they serve wine, include music and a dance floor, as well as opening up the galleries to all who show up. Now I expected the company to include some of our finest senior citizens and perhaps a pleasant waltz in the dance hall but was surprised to find the entire museum packed with locals and city dwellers alike ranging in age from toddlers to our esteemed citizens of advanced years.
The picture above is the dance floor, complete with DJ's, in a simply amazing section of the museum that crossed between a European disco and what must have been the parties of old. There must have been hundreds of people on the floor and when I commented on the diversity of the attendees, he responded, "looks like Brooklyn," with a smile.
This is the outside of the museum as I approached. I could tell from here there were going to be a great deal of people as a line was forming outside the foyer. And for my first celebrity sighting, in attendance was Wyatt Cenac of the Daily Show. I went with my roommate Marnie, along with some of her friends from NY and from NYU film school.
In a similar vein, I was in a short film, written by Marnie, for her final project for her director's class. As soon as I have the video I will post the link. Even in the midst of finals, there is no shortage of entertainment.
