Did I tell you, I climbed a Gehry?








So not entirely true - I did run around a lot though, but only because a security guard told me I shouldn't be there. I decided one night, one of the last before the new term started, that I wanted to sneak around the Gehry building. I have to admit I've had a long time love-affair with this particular building. I feel so at home there, it is uncanny. It was a great couple of hours of solitude, urban exploration and appreciation... all on the foggy backdrop of downtown LA. I couldn't have asked for more.
