spring has finally sprung in nyc

yesterday at shakespeare garden in central park, i just had to snap a few flower pics.

Gel highlights

my 5th gel conference, or good experience live, helped me refresh and renew with new ideas, perspectives and people to talk to.

my favorites:
- museum of natural history tour, esp. the discovery center
- knoll offices were way cool, great view and right across from chelsea market
- chris jordan's portraits of american mass consumption gave me chills
- hospitality makes all the difference according to renouned nyc restraunteur danny meyer and john williams creator of frog's leap vineyards
- ira glass of this american life told us stories sprinked with his wit
- i think i laughed hardest at marie lorenz' stories from her nyc tide and current taxi project

talking to first-year attendees, i realize i've gotten used to attending a conference with folks who really get it. hoping this soon will be the norm.
