Sundays are always good days for shooting Speed. Plus the Speed is free on Sundays, so how can you say no to that?
We weren't here just to shoot the Speed though, we were here to get obliterated. Self-obliterated that is, it was the opening weekend for the Yayoi Kusama's Let's Survive Together Infinity Mirrored room.
Apparently it's the first time a Kusama work has been on view here in Kentucky and the place was asses and elbows. And old ladies shoving. You only get ninety seconds inside the room, so even with timed tickets you got folks lined up.
The line doubled and then doubled again in the hour we were waiting to get in. Usually when I'm getting obliterated there's a lot less waiting and a lot more liquor. Still, when we finally got our turn on the stopwatch it was worth it.
Step right in to the visual cacophony! It was really something, mirrored everything with infinite reflections in all directions. Took'em a month just to set it all up.
Are you obliterated yet? Was having a ball and then the door opened and they told us our ninety seconds were done. Was going to stage a sit-in protest to Free The Glutens but then security got mentioned and it just didn't seem worth it.
Couldn't do the Speed and not stop by and pay our respects to Breonna. It's been four damn years and there's still no damn justice in this town.
