transcribing my planner and screenshots and flyers on a plane back from Texas Thanks for reading Chloe Pingeon! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Thursday, 5/9 l’m working at a magazine cocktail in Midtown and then I’m staying in Midtown to go to Townhouse for one drink and then I’m late to the EGirl Zine Launch so I’m taking a taxi (yellow cab) downtown. I’m morose at the function (tired, maybe disassociated) so I’m not talking, I’m reading! I’m reading the EGirl Zine on the floor. Zines are always bad, but the EGirl Zine is good! After, I go to a birthday party and then I realize I lost my wallet and so then I uber home and make one chicken sausage. Learning to COOK and learning responsibility (badly) Friday, 5/10 I’m eating Johns on Bleeker pizza on the floor after work and I’m soooo sick. Banged my head on the radiator so now everyone has to be nice to me. Can’t get myself to leave apartment but I’ve never been in a better mood, actually. Saturday, 5/11 Kat Chamberlin’s show Tulip Mania at Parent Company in the morning. Kat and I share a stalker, and separately, the show is so magical. I want to write more about the show because I haven’t reacted that viscerally to a gallery show in a long time. For now, I make notes on the subway home. Heading: magical. I lived in Switzerland as a child and serendipity is more common there and my father sometimes still describes really special things as like the magic of Switzerland. That’s how he describes Kat’s show when I tell him about it that afternoon, which is a comparison that sounds almost meaningless outside of personal context, but which is just say that there’s a lack of anonymity and a strangeness that is eerie but almost pleasant in the context with which I view it, and an integral intergenerationality of the exhibition and of my morning there that is exceedingly rare and hard to find in New York. Afternoon: I’m at a beautiful party with my family uptown and then I go to lunch at The Regency which is waspy and empty. Then I’m in Central Park and the Boat House is back open for lunch and I want to rent boats but the sun is setting and they’re closing down. I’m walking to the Central Park Zoo where they filmed the Woody Allen scenes and where I used to come only half as a joke for my half birthday when I was little and I want to see the polar bears mostly but it’s closed for the evening, too. Later, a stranger tells me the bench I’m in is a whispering tunnel and the stranger is right that if you sit on one side you can hear whispers from twenty feet away, and this is true even though it’s dusk and windy. Still a little tipsy, hailing a cab home. Making plans to go back uptown for a birthday party but then things go awry and so then Im staying home. Sunday, 5/12 At the gym taking deep breaths to collect myself. Later, going to Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach, Little Russia in Brooklyn. Attractions are: St Petersburg’s Gifts to buy good tee shirts, Cafe Euroasia to buy carrot salad and manti, and Outback Steakhouse because you can get a lobster AND ribeye for nineteen dollars. Outback Steakhouse is too full for mother’s day - we can’t get in. I like Little Russia but I hate Outback Steakhouse. Thrilled to leave. Disassociate so much on the train back. Go to Cowgirl in the West Village for dinner. It’s too late to go to Confessions after dinner but my friends say it’s fun. It’s not too late to open the window in the bathroom and sit on the floor and call my mom for so many minutes. Monday, 5/13 Drinking BLUE BEAUTY at Juice Generation and making vows to never have a regret again. There’s a Byline Party at Casetta that my friends who attend describe to me as pretty art world, kind of girlboss. I don’t go because I’m walking so aimlessly at Equinox and I don’t get home until the party is almost over. Also a New Potentials For Psychedelics in Society screening at Sovereign House - don’t go to that either. Tuesday, 5/14 Raining in the evening, but I still want to walk to Chelsea after work. Lecture with Bill Armstrong at the School for Visual Art. I don’t typically find photo theory interesting, but I do like career retrospective lectures, and the artist blurs the images in ways I really like. Later, dinner at The Knickerbocker ; coziest restaurant and the best steak in New York. The only steak house in New York. Ordering - dirty martini, cocktail shrimp, medium aged rib eye with onion rings, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes Wednesday, 5/15 Plane to Texas, which actually makes me very happy. The new LGA reminding me of someone’s liminal idea of America — big fountain with light show and pop music, smells like Auntie Annie’s pretzels (I don’t even see store but the smell is so precise), everything bright but not too fluorescent and everything pretty fast and crisp and clean and seamless because this isn’t a mall after all, this is an airport, this is a well oiled machine. I’m in the Starbucks line thinking it’s like a movie set. I’m in the Starbucks line thinking it’s like I’m sixteen. I’m so nostalgic for an idea of childhood that isn’t even really reminiscent of mine. I’m hoping no turbulence today. MISC.
