On Monday June 21, 2010 I did yoga practice in Times Square-It was held by Times Square Alliance as a search for peace and tranquility in the midst of the urban energy of the world’s most frenetic place.
The exact location was held on Duffy Square at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue at 46th Street.
The is my view when everything concluded-Namaste!
After that I sttod in line for the Key to the City Project-
Its a citywide public art project that allows every New Yorker and visitor to open spaces in all five boroughs.
There is even a pretty cool free Iphone App that contains information about the project and artist, an interactive list of lock sites with photos and descriptions of what your key will unlock, and a location-based map to help guide you on an exploration of public and private space across all five boroughs.
Download it for free from the App store.
Presented by Creative Time in cooperation with the City of New York.

Later that night I screened GOLDFINGER in Bryant Park as part of HBO’s summer film festival
After the film-I used my Key to the City to unlock a lamp in Bryant Park
