Several people were out at Grand Ferry Park in Williamsburg waiting for hours for the thing to come by. I know a bunch of people who also tried, without success, to see it last week. The directions on the Whitney website don't seem to be accurate predictors, and the time frames are pretty broad for some days. If anyone's got a better, more reliable schedule for the thing, it would be a public service to post it.

wow, i had no idea it was supposed to be an art exhibit. i saw it while eating lunch yesterday by the water in dumbo, and i thought it was just some nursery shipping trees around very, very slowly. silly me.

It made me feel like it was I on a large boat, floating past a little island.

The experience of seeing it was not as cool as when the Gates opened, but it was fun nonetheless. I watched it meander its way around Pier 45 earlier this week. From what I read, Smithson was going for more of a cerebral effect than a visceral one.

Who is this would-be Chrito guy? I hope he is not interested in my squeeze Jeanne-Claude.
