Victory is Ours!

Yesterday was the last day of my internship. Each summer, the agency has an internship competition. There are three teams, and each develops an advertising campaign and presents it to the client, as well as agency executives. My team, Rising Sun, won this summer. It was amazing.

After the presentations, all of the interns and some full-timers went out. We ended up at a karaoke bar and had a blast. Here's a video of my teamate, Mickey, and mentor, Phil, in all of their karaoke glory.

Jon Stewart Sighting

Finally! My first big celebrity sighting of the summer. I saw Jon Stewart today in Washington Square Park. I was walking the village, doing some filming for a project at work. I walked onto one of the small lawns in the park, and right there sitting underneath a tree was Jon Stewart and his daughter. He looked up at me and then did a double take when he saw I had a video camera. I quickly put it away so that he didn't think I was paparazzi. I did get this picture, however. After a while they got up and moved into the playground area, that's when I got the second pic.


Sightings of last summer: Liev Schreiber at a bar in Alphabet City. Ally Hilfiger on the 6 train. Quddus at a club on the west side. Trey Anastasio outside of Central Park. Sorry, no pics.

Apple Store

Went and checked out the new Apple Store on Fifth Ave. today. The store itself is underground, so you enter through this huge cube. It really wasn't any different than other Apple Store's inside, but if you have never been to one of them people, you should definitely go check it out. Well, if you're a Mac Geek anyways.

P.S.1

A few friends and I went to P.S.1 today. It was amazing and I recommend anyone interested in art, music, partying or hippies should check it out.

They serve beer there, but of course you can sneak in your own, as we did. It's definitely the economical way to go. When you walk in, it is a huge dance party with literally hundreds of people. There is this crazy wading pool thing that everyone is dancing in and having a good time.

The art is inside the building, and is very comtemporary and modern. There is alot of video installations, which are weird, and alot of the art seems too out there, even to an art director. But it is definitely worth taking a look at.

The best advice I can give someone heading to P.S.1 is to get in line for the bathroom at the first sign that you may have to go. The lines are rediculously long, but entertaining because of all the other drunk fools who are there. This sculpture is in the basement. It's a woman taking a piss, sort of reverse fountain. This sculpture moved us so that we had to urinate right then and there in the basement, along with a bunch of other line dodgers.
