the play theater
theater is a run down old 6 or 7 story building - and its the entire building. the location is where all the big clubs are in NY - and it is near the area with art galleries and the new park called the “high-line” So you enter like it is a big club in NY, horrible mean door men and bouncers/guards, long lines, expensive fast paced coat check, rude check in, etc. at the check-in it is like a club and like an old fashioned hotel… from there you enter into a fairly run down jazz club - with small cafe tables and absinthe, gin cocktails, etc. a man in a tuxedo call some groups and you start in the elevator where they are mean and push you a little, no talking, and you have to put on this mask that is half like phantom of the opera and half the “scream” mask. then you could see who was an “actor” and who was a guest” once in the elevator i was away from my friends, i was forced out of the elevator with one other person. into a very dark, almost black series of rooms where i saw a mental institution floor and a forest. so i was wandering alone for hours. sometimes i would see groups of people following an actor but they would run by so fast i didn’t really know what was going on. basically there were 5 huge floors full of scenes and sets variously like the biggest haunted house you have ever been in. I went to a candy store and ate some sweets. some actors were undressing, taking baths, kissing some of the guests. it was a large moving play. Sometimes the actors were angry and running and taking everything off the shelfs and throwing it on the floor. I think the production was somehow related to Macbeth from Shakespeare -. Most of the time i went to different rooms and read letters with a Scottish origin that were laying around near desks. Lots of taxidermy everywhere. before the end of the play, i went back to the jazz club and there was a good show on. a drummer, pianist and contra-base player with a vocalist. later I went to the lowest floor, the sub-basement for a last supper like performance in a ballroom. The end was macabre. When I finally met my friends - we all had completely different experiences and were separated the whole time. It was a special and different. Like being lost in a creepy dream but being in control to do what you want. now it is snowing!!!

Plan of Persepolis, Persia / Iran
“Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BC. André Godard, the French archaeologist who excavated Persepolis in the early 1930s, believed that Cyrus the Great (Kūrosh) chose the site of Persepolis, but that Darius the Great built the terrace and the great palaces. Darius ordered the construction of the Apadana Palace and the Council Hall (the Tripylon or three-gated hall), the main imperial Treasury and its surroundings. These were completed during the reign of his son, King Xerxes the Great. Further construction of the buildings on the terrace continued until the downfall of the Achaemenid dynasty.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_laluqpeTlm1qzlcoro1_1280.png)
