Angie’s Drama

Am I the only one that doesn’t get it? Not only do I not get it, I have no desire to travel to New York’s Central Park and walk around under 23 miles of gates with saffron fabric. The media is treating this as the biggest art exhibit of the century. They’re 3-sided frames! And don’t get me started on the kooky arteests. Christo and Jeanne-Claude are the eccentric, over-the-top, brilliant artists that came up with the plan. Adding to the kookiness is that they were born on the exact same day of the same year. Alrighty, I get the whole, we may be long lost twins cosmically balanced with the Earth thing but these people are nuts. Their publicists freaked out on Letterman’s staff for having the audacity to invite them on the show with little more than a day’s notice. They were offended. Guess what? Take your freaky, frame building, eccentic European selves home. I have no problem going to the Art Institute in Chicago to see beautiful art without the drama.
