Unrelated to everything.... Just passing along an interesting development in artistry.....something interesting is afoot with one of our time's most creative storytelling voice, David Simon (and company).  Simon, of "The Wire" fame (and brilliant treatment of "The Corner" and "Generation Kill"), is deep in his current passion; the unique Americana invention of New Orleans music told through its principle actors (the musicians). The visual-novel of  "Treme" nearing the end of its second season has become an acquired taste for many.  Those missing out on the brilliance in its subtleties (it isn't meant to be swallowed whole, but savored by digesting each scene) of scenes and dialogue are losing sight of what the series (and Simon's craft) is about. I felt it was worth noting as the appreciation of performance art (and original storytelling) is becoming a dying craft.  Perhaps best summarized here by actor Clarke Peters.
My point in offering these thoughts is to pass along an observation of the use of technology as the social apparatus of our time.  The series (like any other event) is being chronicled online in various blogs.  One of which, Back of Town ,  has become a way of appreciating the episodes with many people responsible for telling this story.  With regular, affable interaction with (the real) Davis Rogan, Tom Piazza, David Simon, and Eric Overmyer and from the perspective of a 1-to-1 relationship (and not that of a lecturer or host), giving participants the organic feeling of being involved in the actual process.  This type of discourse wouldn't have been possible even five years ago - its exciting to watch this process develop, especially in the environment that this series has found itself in; a humble and artistic community of writers with a production geared for the exact opposite [commercial] appeal of its on-air counterparts.  I'm not sure what will come of it, nor am I star-struck that the production team would interact with consumers, but how it shapes the course of artist-audience relationship is something to watch.

Not much has really changed in the last 15+ years - it is a concise defensive system to address everything an offense can present (you should be able to pick up on how Saban really only treats a few personnel / formations and everything else stems from that).  Its actually a pretty basic look that gives you a full toolbox of answers.

THE TIMES SQUARE EXPERIENCE & CATWALK


Mr. Green Crew was all over Times Square lead by Miss Green A.K.A Anne Gade Bjerrum, seen in the middle doing the double "E" hand sign. She is the younger sister of Mr. Green A.K.A Christian Gade Bjerrum that is currently teaching yoga in Mexico City, while preparing the city for CO2 E - Race in 2012.


There was posters all over Grand Central Station with the Earth Day announcement of CO2 E Drive and the Times Square fashion show of "Green Cars". The event included several aspects of Earth Day's awareness campaigns, such as "Reduce Carbon",  "Be Energy Aware" and "Travel Green".


In the above image you can see most of the GPS dots that represent the different cars are all in Times Square. The ones that did not go up to Times Square either went to Grand Central Station, back to the Solar One Building or to the premiere of "Revenge of the Electric Car" further down on 23rd Street. The interface and GPS devices was sponsored by US Fleet Tracking and the Re-play of the painting can be seen HERE


The Mr. Green Crew doing the "E" with the President of Toshiba, Mr. Fujii on Time Square, who there to support Red Cross efforts in Japan.

President for Earth Day New York, Pamela Lippe talking to the audience at Times Square with two Mr. Green's on stage next to her, in good Old School Public Enemy styles. It is also lovely to see that a Turkish man reaches out his hand saying "Be our Guests", welcoming America to Turkey.


The Green Car Fashion Show on the dedicated and rather colorful plaza on the Times Square that is looking more like a Amusement Park than what some might remember no longer than 15 years back, or from classic films like Taxi Driver. In the above, the Novozymes Bio Fueled Ford Focus takes its place on the catwalk, while the MC gives a small talk about the details of the car and what it does to make Earth a better place.

Lovely shapes and colors!

Once the Fashion show was over and the fences opened, the crowds flooded the parked cars and their representatives with questions about the vehicles.


Best Friends For Life - The Mr. Green Crew's "Green Nose" branding performance


"You've Made it Here" from Memphis and now you are wearing a green nose!


The Danish Wooden Kid's Bike from MILIOS

Miss Green on the "Copenhagen" Biomega Bike, that was donated to Matthew Modine, who just signed up for the next Batman film.


Times Square now also has an official "Naked Cowgirl" that is putting up a good battle against the "Naked Cowboy", who sued the first Naked Cowgirl because she was not up to par.


It was an amazing day and we were lucky with the weather, with sunshine in the morning. The very next day, the city was polished by a waterfall that gives the city a special vibe with the lights reflecting in the streets. Thanks again Earth Day New York for your huge effort in help making a dream come through and help spread the projects message of Climate Awareness.

THE E PAINTING PERFORMANCE IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK


It should be no secret that Yrs Truly have become a sucker for the Electric DeLorean. Not only does it give instant flashbacks of Michael J Fox in "Back to the Future" on a skateboard without wheels, but of the Time Machine housed by a E Fluxed DeLorean that took the young hero back in time.



It all comes together in a wonderful way since the first car on the streets of New York City was Electric, where the Croatian inventor and magician Nikola Tesla roamed 34th Street on his way home to the New Yorker Hotel, with the Classic New York Diner on the corner of 34th and 9th Avenue called TIC TOC.


The above Sky Blue Tesla was seen on 5th Avenue and 23rd Street, right in front of the Flatiron Building. If you closely, the passenger is doing a "raise the roof" with a rolled up Danish flag, while the driver is giving Earth Day's "E" hand sign, in a "Be The E" shout-out to her new Danish Homie.


Volvo is working on a Electric Car, but what you see above is the Ocean Blue Nissan LEAF, in traffic among Yellow Cabs going down 5th Avenue "painting" the middle line in the "E".


 The New York City Parks Truck with a Diesel Electric Hybrid motor going up Madison Avenue. Yes, the same Madison Avenue as the MAD MAD MEN of MAD MEN.



And of course the Electric DeLorean taking the first turn in the E tag (the lower line).


The above is the sculpture of a head called "ECHO" that is placed in the middle of Madison Park, where both 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue brush gently up against her.


The Apple Green Tesla making the turn from 5th Avenue to 23rd Street.


The Vogel Bilt Ethanol fueled pick up truck, that was fed Ethanol since the day it was taken in use, with no harm. The car was driven by President of the Long Island Electric Auto Association Carl Vogel, who is also Board of Director at the Electric Auto Association, the author of "Build Your Own Electric Motorcycle" and "Build Your Own Electric Plug-in Hybrid Boat".


Many cab drivers complain about the new bicycle lanes in New York City. The probably don't know that they are called "Copenhagen Lanes" and are designed by the Danish architect and urban design consultant based in Copenhagen Jan Gehl, whose career has focused on improving the quality of urban life by re-orienting city design towards the pedestrian and cyclist. I would never have thought that New York would ever become a bicycle city, but now it is.


Copenhagen Lanes or not, this lovely lady probably never cared about lanes anyway. 
And the DeLorean.


In the above satellite image over the area of New York where the "E" was done, you can see some of the cars finishing the "E" painting and a Purple dot, showing that the Novozymes Bio Fueled Ford Focus is on it's way to Times Square for the Show Part of the Day.


The Novozymes vehicle enters Times Square.


 The Electric DeLorean enters Times Square, filmed by the film crew producing the film about the project. On your far right is Director and Producer Urs Jakob, co-owner of Gershwin Hotel on 27th between 5th and Madison Avenue. In the middle, the camera man and artist in his own right, Shaky Jones and the large man with the cap and boom doing sound is Peter Tooke. The crowds had not yet gathered on the Good Friday of 22nd of April 2011, but soon would.
