~ MoMA QNS + Bjork ~

29 June 2002

MoMA moved to Queens. even though we’re late (damn 7 train, you’re confusing!), ari and i met up with alyssa, hafeez, jane, liz, jase and scogin to see the new blue museum. they have interesting show, but it was very crowded! the line to get the ticket, which was FREE, went all the way around the block. people just kept coming.

i was supposed to meet up with rani, a grade school to high school friend of mine. but since i was so late, by the time we found each other in MoMA, she was already about to leave. :(

after MoMA, we went to the city to get something to eat. after a hell of a time deciding where to go (we wanted to sit outside), the choice narrowed down to El Rey Del Sol, since Mary Ann’s doesn’t have outside seatings. it couldn’t be a better choice: the food was excellent, the watermellon margarita was so damn tasty i was quite drunk by 8 in the evening, and Björk (yes, that Björk) came in and sat to have her dinner behind us. she was with her son and a bunch of other people. she was wearing this glitter-ish clothing covering her pregnant belly. and she looked quite unhappy.

i have never been that excited with celebrity encounter until today. we didn’t ask her for photo or anything though. but jane, who is a huuuuuuge fan of Björk, couldn’t stop smiling and jumping around once we left the restaurant.
