Four More Days :: STILL PRESENT PASTS
I have returned from 11 days of conference travel with a 2-day stopover in Connecticut to visit my family. The trip was bookended by a conference on child development in Boston and on a conference on Asian American Studies in NYC. I returned home on Easter and have been catching up since. Here is what I must say about my trip -- I am getting old. I used to really look forward to traveling because I never really had the opportunity growing up (beyond the roadtrip to Cape Cod or Niagara Falls). Now, after 10-15,000 airline miles a year, I just don't like living out of a suitcase as much. The allure of a new destination has worn off and, even though I always enjoy eating at restaurants and absorbing the sites, I always always appreciate my own bed back home. Okay, enough privileged complaining.
In 4 (count them, 1, 2, 3, 4) days, the Still Present Pasts exhibit opens up at Intermedia Arts at 2822 Lyndale Ave South in Minneapolis. The reception begins at 7 pm and the opening ceremony which features mega-superstar poets Walter K. Lew, Ed Bok Lee, and Sun Yung Shin begins at 8 pm.
More to come....
