bethb's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- please don't pronounce it lie-berry We're having a big Open! House! for Pub Art today. In a place designed by an architect I like but it hasn't been taken care of. The last time I was in there (you'll see why) I was doing research for Country Wife (Chester didn't believe in computer-aided research at this point and to an extent I agree. there was nothing i loved more during grad school than to dewey-decimal the shit out of a subject I needed and plop down on the floor pulling book after book into my lap looking for inspiration and research for designs. Here there would be no floor plopping )(you'll see why)and I was pulling out a book from an open stack when a homeless gentleman lowered his fly to half staff, yanked it out and proceeded to pee into the corner at the end of an aisle. Yes. In a library. Yes in a Mies Van der Roe building. Yes that was my last time in that library. 3:08 p.m. - 2009-02-10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
