philadelphia x2.

the last two days i’ve been up to philadelphia.

one of the things i was concerned about when i came to rowan was the surrounding area. however, philly is so accessible it’s great- it’s a 20 minute drive, a 20 minute PATCO trip, or an hour bus ride directly from campus.

yesterday, i went to the ICA in University City. i went to see the puppet exhibit- and it was entirely disappointing. i was hoping for something along the lines of “avenue Q” and it was very far from it. typically, ICA is one of my favorite places to see contemporary art in Philly and it rarely disappoints.

today, i went up to Pearl on South St. with Big Jason.

the majority of the required art supplies for classes are available at the bookstore. however, for better prices, it’s easier to go elsewhere or order online. for me, Pearl is like art mecca- three floors of gloriousness. however, i love Utrecht equally as much

after the trek to Philly (not to be confused with “the city!” i’ve been reprimanded for saying such- nothing can replace NYC) we rode our bikes out to a house on 322 that has sheep!

the weren’t very friendly, but worth the visit.

tonight my roommates are throwing a party for groundhog day and i’m pretty excited- some of my friends from home are coming down to visit!
