My favourite exhibit when I was at the Shanghai Museum was one that described the history of written Chinese, including examples of its evolution, and comparing cursive and printed chinese characters, as well as carved stamps and signature seals.
Really cool stuff.
这是我最喜欢的exhibit.
Aside: My Chinese is really out of practice. I need to fix that.
I baked an apricot cheesecake today for our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. As it cooled it opened up a crack that made this perfectly beautiful "T" in a Chancery Cursive style. I couldn't have drawn it with pen and ink any better!
The handwriting is so dense and beautiful, especially with the rich, tobacco colored ink. You can clearly see the embossed leaf pattern from the other side.
I got a letter from 12 year calligraphy phenom Janie Lin. The envelope was done in Spencerian script, and the enclosed letter in perfect cursive. Just a sampling of what she does here. Tons of practice…
October 2001 @ The Turf Club, St. Paul, MN.
The other bands were Sorry About Dresden (I believe) and Desaparecidos (certain). The cowboy had had been passed around by the singers all night. The scarf and hideous shorts were Tim's idea.
The band was all set and ready to go but Tim couldn't be found. He finally came out in this ensemble. I don't think the rest of the band was in on the gag, as they were having a very hard time keeping a straight face. In particular I remember Clint not being able to keep it together until about the 3rd song.
