As I get ready for a quick trip up to an event in New York, I thought I’d share two especially awesome pieces of news from the city.

Shakespeare by Request, in which actor Will Barnet performs Shakespeare monologues by request on the New York High Line.  I’d love to see this!

Banksy Sells Original Art in Central Park for $60.  What do you think: Would you have bought a piece if you’d seen it?

I’ve had a lot of fun tracking Banksy’s New York residency online.  Have any of you stumbled across his work in person?  Even if not, you can follow along on the website… and if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the documentary, too.
