I write this as the son of Benjamin Franklin… I offer 100 thanks to you who continues to engage, support and contribute in the dialog and discovery of ideas. At the end of the kite their is a key. The idea is that it will conduct the charge that causes inspiration and break though. As you pull in the kite, the key seems to take the shape of a Roger Smith Hotel Room key. The connection between Roger Smith, Ben Franklin and James Knowles is complete.
I leave for Sweden with a pack full of Rogersrewards. My week has been a running race. Pace has been crucial. With so many things happening, I moved with speed and agility and made certain opportunities available.
“Social Media is a method, Realtime is a mindset.” – Thanks @DMScott
When things happened quickly, I reacted with lightning speed. Opportunities begin to present themselves and the scene changes. Support gained. Friends made. Barrier broken down. Progress! If you have your head up, you can see the world around you.
Only last week, I was advising those around me to be aware and keep their heads up. I am reminded of a young hockey play diddling with the puck at the blueline, ready to get laid out because his head is facing the ground. Not only is he in danger of getting his bell rung but he misses the opportunity of his wingman dashing to the net.
“You can only score if you shoot the puck”, says wise sue2!
So as I dart from, Spain to LA, Bahamas to VT now I am off to Are.
Wish me safe travels. I look forward to some snowy Swedish skiing conditions. I will be sure to bring you back a haring.
Looking forward, I am continually trying to conquer spaces and am feeling victory with the idea of hosting meet-ups in our beautiful suites.
Dare to dream and make your dreams a reality.
Till next week.
I am Panman aka @pancity, breaking open the head.
Stay tuned for details on my Mixology Meetup that will happen in March.

RSPOP & The Roger Smith Hotel Present Animated Closet’s Fashion’s Night Out Runway Show at the Lab Gallery on 47th and Lexington.
September 10, 2010
A runway performance of Animated Closet
Presents
Animated Closet
Forward fashion, clothes that actually fit, independent designers, AND 10% of our profits go towards supporting economic development initiatives for women and children.
Inspired by women who love color and lead an active lifestyle, Animated Closet is something new, fresh and truly unique. Drawing comparisons to Custo Barcelona and Desigual, with an emphasis on creativity and individuality. At the epicenter of their look is an upheaval of contrasting patterns and colors. The prints and patterns are splashed boldly across our asymmetrical skirts, fun tops and outerwear, and flattering dresses.
Their creative process is collaborative- working with different artists for artwork, print the fabrics, and then cut clothing from the newly printed material. They only print a limited amount of fabric so everything is a limited run. In order to reduce waste as much as possible, they create their own patchwork skirts and pants from the leftover pieces of fabric.
They carry sizes small thru extra-large to ensure that a broad range of body types can enjoy. Vibrant and colorful, Animated Closet kicks any wardrobe up a notch!
You can’t go wrong!
The show Soundstorm at the Lab Gallery is filled with mystery, power and magic. It has endured the strongest heatwave of the summer and acts as a breathing force in the gallery space on 47th and Lexington. The evolution of the show has been intense. It has channeled massive amounts of energy in its existence and continues to surprise me. On a steamy Friday night in the beginning of its installation a street viewer coming from LQ (a Club on Lex), in a fit of rage with his girlfriend put his fist through the front window. Unfortunately the gentleman lost his arm in the process and created a peculiar dynamic to the development of this installation.
I find the show to be the strongest installation that I have seen in the Lab Gallery in years. The layers of intent behind the show by Daniel Rothbart and Maia Anthea Marinelli go back further than you might realize. On April 24th, 1995 Lisa Paul Streitfeld curated a performance installation in the Lab Gallery where different artist participated in a Meditation / Mediation ceremony where consecutive artists projected their intent on the vessels that are consistent elements in all of Rothbarts installation work. Among the artist who participated were Max Blagg, Anthony Haden Guest, Valery Oisteanu, Bettina Sellmann, L. Brandon Krall, Larry Miller, John Perreault, Francine Hunter McGivern, and Abraham Lubeslki.
These vessels hold the intent of the space and all who have participated along the way. The potency of the experience for me seems to heighten the current experience of Soundstorm making it a charged experience.
Instinctually I tagged different Roger Smith personalities on facebook as represented in different vessels layering the intent and contributing to its charge. As if the walls a being pulled inward by the pulley systems controlled by the weather the amount of energy and tension in that space is fascinating. I believe the show is a conductor of emotions and energy! It has brought much to the surface, not all good, but most certainly necessary. I believe all installations in that space should be marked as an experience. In the context of provocative art, I am thoroughly stimulated.
I look forward to seeing what kind of aftermath is to be experienced. Bravo Daniel Rothbart!
This blog post is a response to an inquiry on The Lab Gallery Facebook Page by Danika Druttman. I encourage anyone who has experienced the Soundstorm Installation at the Lab Gallery to post a response to it. It can be a video, an essay or even a picture post. Lets keep the dialog going. Let me know what you think.

In, “On the rocks”, two dudes are confronted with the task of scoring ice for drinks for their dates. What happens to them on this journey is both destructive and life affirming. The protaganists are faced with a grisly task in order to get the ice cold redemption which they seek. We are faced with the question: Will this experience put their friendship “on the rocks” or will it strengthen their resolve?
