What was your bravest act of dissent?

I sewed slipcovers that fit over the beat up church kneelers in St. Patrick's Cathedral and embroidered the word EQUALITY on them. So when someone went to kneel and pray, they flipped down the kneeler and discovered this beautiful kneeler that read EQUALITY. Indirectly it asks the person to pray for Equality in the church as well as being equal to the person next to them.

What gets your vote for New York's best outdoor venue?

The non-existent ones. My vision for a city of good summer night life has boats that serve as cafes or clubs and roof tops with comfy couches that serve as a refuge from the dance party. For now though, the free IKEA ferry is a pretty good time.

I have eclectic taste in friends -- some gay tweakers, some countrified rednecks, some corporate dweebs -- and every single one of them has loved the Warm-Up parties at PS1. Hosting a music event outdoors can be tough, as energy can dissipate under open skies, but somehow those dirty little freaks at PS1 throw it down every time.
