New York City – THE MET
TOO MANY PEOPLE
Jill and I went to New York City on Friday. She wanted to see the Francis Bacon exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I just wanted to walk around.
Unfortunately, I forgot how many people are already walking around in New York. What a pain in the ass. Every time I’d take a step, there would be somebody in my way. It was like a big, bobbing ocean of eyes and heads. It was an obstacle course made of humans. And it was hot.
For some reason we decided to walk from Penn Station on 32nd Street to the museum, which is on 82nd Street. I’d like to say we saw a lot of interesting stuff along the way, but we didn’t. Canyons of tall towers and swarms of yellow taxis aren’t that interesting when you’re sweating fat bullets. Finally, we reached our destination.
The MET is big. The San Diego Museum of Art could be a broom closet in this place. And that art museum we saw in downtown Austin, well, that could be a lavatory. Not a big one, either. But is bigger better?
Of course it is. Go check it out sometime. But don’t be a dumb-ass—take the subway.
