Musical Saws

author: Catherine Penfold-Waxman : Astoria, Queens, New York

On July 18, 2009 I was very pleased to be at Trinity Lutheran Church in Astoria to witness 53 people smash Guinness World Record of the “Largest Musical Saw Ensemble.” The musicians are usually self-trained as it appears to be a matter of bashing away at the saw until the dogs stop howling. When mastered, the saw offers wonderful, etherial music that makes you feel like you've gone completely toilet brush. And when you hear it all in a beautiful church....simply amazing. Wikipedia has a nice article at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_saw I loved the poster outside. I think it captures it well. The record in the...

Newtown Creek

author: Catherine Penfold-Waxman : Brooklyn, NY

As blogged earlier today: 12:20pm We're about to embark on a three hour tour up Newtown Creek, NY. It's one of the most poluted waterways in the country. Mr. Me and a friend, the Watchmaker, are on board the Half Moon boat at the 23rd street port waiting to be off. There will be lectures about the history and ecology of the creek and the area. 2:06pm Oh god the smell. We're at the end of the creek next to the metropolitan ave bridge. The water is colon-blow black. The stench is worse than I thought it would be. There no...

Hogwarts?

author: Catherine Penfold-Waxman : Kent, UK

On a recent business trip to London one of my colleagues was on the look out for pictures of gothic buildings or castles for his small children. He had told them he was going to Hogwarts. (sorry for the poor quality, cameraphone) This is Tonbridge School. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonbridge_School My favourite quote from the wikipedia article: Headmaster Knox once noted that "wherever the Union Flag stands o'ershadowed, there you will find a Tonbridge boy ready to bring it into the light". They were also good at deflowering the local girls and puking on the high street (not always in that order). I also grabbed Tonbridge Castle....
