My Alma Mater Wuz Here

On Friday I had lunch with the awesome Shelley Eshkar, designer of many a Tor book. (The Androids Dream, Eastern Standard Tribe, etc.) We met as freshmen at Copper Union. Later in the day I decided to check out the Copper year-end art show. Not only had the exhibit closed the week before but fully one third of the campus is now a giant pit. Ok, so the "campus" was only three buildings to begin with, but still. And down the block, Dojo Restaurant has shut their doors. Without $2.95 soy-burger sandwiches, I never would have survived art school.

Oh well, the plans for the new building are very sci-fi -- kinda looks like stepping into a Stephan Martiniere painting. OK, this might be fun.
