Today was the grand opening of the Exchange Café at MoMA!!! It was a big day for everyone who contributed to the project and Caroline deserves this incredible moment. Sarah and Sheetal also deserve a moment for their involvement in this whole operation. I'm getting ahead of myself though. Let me start with the beginning of my day.

This morning, after I got ready I headed out, oddly enough, back down to the 36th street stop off of the D train near Sunset Park. I was meeting up with Rich Watts, one of the guys I mentioned a few posts ago who works at the vodka distillery. He has an awesome cast-iron paper cutter. I was visiting him to to have the exchange archive books that I had made the other day, cut down. I don't know if I posted anything about them yesterday so I'll be sure and post some pictures of them today too!

It was incredibly hot today and if course it was the day that I work a long sleeve shirt, pants and a tie.

After I left the distillery I headed into MoMA to meet up with everyone. The café ran its scheduled hours for the day and I worked on a few projects here and there that needed to be done before the grand opening later that night. I took some more pictures with another Eyebeam camera and I should have them edited and posted soon too. People started coming in for the event and soon enough, they were announcing Caroline to talk! It really was an incredible night for all. Everyone has worked so hard on everything and it has come together and paid off in the end. I am truly happy for Caroline and what she has done. This experience is something that I wouldn't have traded for anything. Everyone on the team is incredible and I look forward to each day working with them. I live the life.

P.S. We totally bound the books with dental floss. It works really well!

P.P.S. Also saw fake Don Martin at MoMA tonight.
