Francis Alÿs, Camgun, 2003
I saw his exhibit at the MoMA last Friday. His “Re-enactment” piece was literally arresting.

I ran into my friend Jeff at the Uprise Art party yesterday in Soho. Long time readers should be familiar with his ongoing search for new pants with my counsel and this topic came up at the event last night. I thought I found the perfect pair for him just last month, but it didn’t “suit” him.
Well, I checked in with my celebrity friends on this matter and my boy Chris Brown recommended something that he said was “hot,” “fresh,” and “The Next Big Thing” (that’s what she said). So, Jeff, what about these new pants?!

Oh shit, it just got real in here: Justin Vernon covers Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
Also, here’s Adele’s version of the same song.

Rick Reilly spends a full day with a busy real life Jerry Maguire. This is great:
9:44 a.m. Big crisis.
A prominent NFC player is freaking out. The NFL has dropped off a urine-testing kit at his house when he’s clearly not — how shall we say this? — ready.
Apparently, the end of the lockout came as a surprise to him. Schaffer talks him off the ledge.
“Hold on, hold on (blank). They can’t do that. They haven’t finished the language on drug testing yet in the CBA. They can’t test you if it’s not in the contract. This is still America, right?”
Schaffer calls the players’ union to check. A union lawyer gets on the line and Schaffer gets the player on the line.
“OK, listen carefully, (blank). We need you to have somebody videotape you putting the entire thing — the test tubes, the instructions, everything — into a clear, sealed bag. Then FedEx it to me immediately. Got it?”
“OK, OK,” the player says.
Then, just as a precaution, Schaffer says, “Read me the directions, will you?”
The directions are all about allowable levels of chlorine and bromine.
Turns out it was from the guy’s pool cleaner.
