Lil Baselista
Lily had her first Basel experience last night and what a great night it was!!
At the hotel W (by far my favorite hotel on the beach at the moment. it is fabulous!!), she saw her first Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo, Damien Hirst, Kenny Scharf and she also took a much needed power nap.
She saw her first live concert. Metric rocked!
And….. she met Perry Farrell!!!!! 🙂
Yup, we caught him at the Townhouse Hotel on his way out.
He was more than happy to chit-chat with us a bit and even pose for a picture with Lily.
At the National hotel we were blown away by Miguel Paredes’s art. I think his was Lily’s favorite since his art is super bright, the eyes are huge and there were lots of birds.
It was a rockin’ first night of Basel.

@Drea,
we went to rainbow city today, my friend’s space is right across the street. it was great although we didn’t get to go inside because there was a huge line for the n.e.r.d concert.
maybe we will try again.
my friend’s space is great. he has 2 kissing booths. it’s called swamp space. you should check it out if you are there.
thanks for visiting! 🙂
