day 244: oh, you can't help that. we're all mad here.

06.13.19 (posted 06.21.10) - i convinced myself that i was feeling a little better this morning. i had an invitation from my friends, m + r, to join them for an afternoon on governor's island. so off i went... 

governor's island is technically part of new york city but once i set foot there, i realized i was in some other place all together. at one time it was a military facility. you can still see remnants of its military past with numerous abandoned army residential buildings. it's now one of nyc's (not-so) secret spots to hang out and play in.

i had heard from others that governor's island is one wacky place and boy was it ever true. this weekend  a series of interactive art exhibits called figment was the special event on the island. there were plenty of interesting sights to be seen and experience that day.

perhaps it was sensory overload or that my buddies and i got caught in a rain storm just as we were about to leave the island but i was exhausted after spending an afternoon there. nonetheless, i hope to make my way back soon to discover more of this whimsical place.
