I am not sure why but it seems difficult to write today. The US has been compartmentalized already into the memory section of my brain so the events of the past few days have got jumbled up.
The lecture at SUNY Cortland went well – lecturers and students attended plus the public . There were some good questions and some of the students had looked at my website in advance of the lecture which brought some thoughtful comments forward.
Just before leaving Syracuse I was given a copy of the radio interview on disk and learnt that the gallery would like to purchase the four Inishlacken videos for their collection. Very useful to have some extra dollars to use in New York.
Caught a flight from Syracuse to New York so yet more security checks . Finally arrived at the hotel/hostel where I had booked a bed in the 'Fabuloso' room – shared with five other people and with fresh bed linen and a towel. This was an upgrade from the Auberge option – 10 people and no towel! I was quite taken by the hotel website and the fact that they have an artist residency programme but not really prepared fully for the implications of a hostel room…
