Roar! Yesterday was such a strange day! First, the PS1 museum's Saturday Session was having performances featuring a bunch of "Do It Yourself" instruments that looked pretty cool so I rode up there to check it out.
At the museum I met a dinosaur enthusiast and old college friend from back in my B.C. days. It had been ages since I'd last seen her.
The show was upstairs in the record room. The first performance was by this woman who made a synthesizer out of a sewing machine. It seamed like a cool idea but she just ran a piece of fabric back and forth making sounds to show how it worked. I really wanted to see her sew a dress so I could hear what it would have sounded like.
The next performance featured a cello with a television set built into it. The performer used a magnet to bow the strings and cause the image on the TV screen to distort. It was a very clever effect but instead of playing music she just sat around making sounds to show everyone how it worked.
After all of that free improv I convinced them to let me play this sweet vacuum cleaner powered organ. Time for some Iron Butterfly! Roar!
Next, I headed back to Brooklyn and over to the K&M Bar for the BK Farmyards Pie Contest.
It was really dark inside the bar and hard to get good photos of all the pies. Here you can make out a bunch of the pies entered in the contest. There ended up being well over 50 pies entered and after judging the pies were given out to the audience so they could try them too.
Everyone was so shocked to see a T-Rex at the contest they decided to let me be a guest judge. My favorite pies ended up being the steak and kidney pie, minced meat pie, and the chicken and leek pie. Roar!
Here I am with a big plate of pies to judge. After all the judging was over I must have eaten at least 3.14159265... pies! That's whole lot of pie! Roar!
They had this crazy indoor pool where you could see people hanging out below under the water. It was a neat trick! Here I am getting ready to go for a dip. 
Now I am floating around under the water! Everybody was so surprised to see a T-Rex swimming around them.
Here I am hanging out on the railing. Sometimes it's cool to just chill under the water and take it all in.
Woah! Somebody lost a dollar in the pool! I tried to chase it down but it wasn't easy. T-Rex's aren't really made for swimming you know! 
One other interesting exhibit in the museum was this room whose floor was completely covered in old records. It was really interesting to walk around and look at all the great music I was stomping on! Crush! Take that Bee Gees! Smash! Woah! Look out Bach, it's a T-Rex! 
Next I headed over to the Socrates Sculpture Park in Astoria Queens. It another cool little place where they showcase lots of student sculpture work. Here I am standing on top of a crushed car. Haha, silly art student, he had to use a machine to crush this! I could have done it all by myself! ROAR!
Check out this giant sculpture of a bisected whale! It looks so yummy! I wish I could eat it. Cool art though. Reminds me of that whale that beached itself over in Oregon decades ago. That sure was a disaster! Go look it up. Roar!
Check it out I found the missing I and U lines! I think this is a pretty great art piece but I think maybe the artist should have included the "O" line in there between the "I" and the "U" if they're trying to make some sort of comment about the MTA.
