day 9 :: buildings

The city was very quiet today, so mark and I went for a walk through the theatre district, having lunch at the Spaghetti House. We found this piece of history along the Bayou River, which as you know is not the first time we have come across the No-tsu-oh name...

... and around the corner is the Notsuoh bar [under Clarks] which we've been frequenting a touch! The rooftop is exactly like the Baz and Catherine La Boheme set, right down to the cursive painted sign...

day 9 :: stuff

I woke up feeling pretty average this morning so I thought an adventure might make things better. 
but like most big cities, this city isn't one to easily find comfort or beauty. there are so few cities that are designed to inspire - particularly if you want to walk. which is strange because the architects of Houston, like so many cities in Australia, had choices available to them that architects in older cities didn't.

so I resorted to starbucks and sitting in a generic window seat that could have been in Paris or Melbourne, I remembered how lucky I am to make art and to work with great people. I've always wanted to be in a strange city, touring a work of art I love. and that's what I'm doing.

everyone struggles. everyone has good and bad days.
