hi kees,<\/p>\n

good to hear from you! So the mysterious swimming pool…I hope you and the clients still like the project. I am jobbing for Michael Maltzan (MoMA Queens). And I am moving soon, to Hollywood (yessssssss, I made it!!!), changing my 1hr commute to a 10min bike ride. So is LA. I feel close to the guy in ‚Down in The Valley‘, allthough the Valley relates to the devastation seperated by the Hollywood Hills from the part of LA I call my home. It’s a devastation too, it is all LA, it’s all the same, or not? Sometimes I can’t believe I spent already more than one year with this unbearable mess. It’s disturbing, but on the other hand I think at the same time it’s so intruiging, there must be something. I think that’s the main reason why people are here who are not related to the industry (people related to the industry are simply here because they have to). There is a great documetary reflecting this bizzare relationship, it’s called ‚Los Angeles plays itself‘ by Thom Andersen. Should you ever have the chance: Urbanism at its best! But I am loosing track and I am probably annoying you with this whatever they call it. Should you still be curious, you’re always welcome to visit! How about an extended version with a road trip? I am not sure about you’re relation to San Francisco in the meantime, but I thought to travel finally to this City (I am also very curious to see the DeYoung-Museum by H&dM!) with a stop over at the Monterey Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival will be 15-17 September. So that’s the timeframe, no other plans until then.
In any case I really do hope you find the courage to take another plane to LAX, I’ll pick you up. Just call me when you’re there.<\/p>\n

PS. I have plans to visit New York sometimes in October, just in case, so you don’t arrive at LAX to hear from me that I am in New York…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
