The Beyond the Street book launch at Deitch Projects in New York was by far one of the coolest events I’ve ever been to (which is saying a lot if you’re a daily reader and see all the cool stuff I go to) and over a month later, I am STILL writing about it!  One of the many geniuses I shared my soul with, was artist Adam Wallacavage.  He makes chandeliers that are beyond incredible.  (See photo gallery here.)  In addition to creating really awesome art, he is also an accomplished photographer and his 2006 book Monster Sized Monsters, is extremely cool.  The book is a document of over 16 years of photos encompassing encounters with artists, musicians, daredevils and “all things weird.”  Adam was anything but weird when I met him and I am grateful for the encounter!  Thanks again, Adam!
