(Community Matters)

Woke up here:

(Community Matters) dinner Saturday night at our dear friend’s, Suzanne Tick in the East Village.  What a nice year – a couple of times in Marfa, last time for the Shawn Colvin concert and previous time a POTUS dinner in New York.

Suzanne invited over friends – some new, some reintroduced – and cooked an exquisite flounder (I was unaware of Panko, Japanese bread crumbs – yum). Great conversations about  teaching, the textile world (in which Suzanne dominates), banking, Occupy Wall Street, politics and art.

the installation in this photo is Suzanne’s, it’s called Refuse DC 2011. It’s made of 4800 clothes hangars hand woven with a new fiber Suzanne created. It’s sister lives in the Gates Foundation offices. It’s magnificent.

(Community Matters) beautiful wedding ceremony yesterday for our friends Mitch Draizin and Philippe (Fritz) Brugere-Trelat at Daniel’s in New York.  Funny, heartfelt, classic and light – a super ceremony among 100-125  nieces, brothers, a mom and friends, including NY’s attorney general, a few congressmen, state reps and lots of major donors.
