As I strolled around lower Manhattan doing these flipwalks, I scribbled notes in a 99-cent memo book, three inches by five inches. They usually would jog my memory when I wrote up the walk later on, although sometimes, years later, a particular comment would seem cryptic, and I’d skip over it. Other times, a whole walk’s worth of notes would become completely opaque to me, like this set, written with a green felt-tip pen:

York semi-meal

Cockpit down to 3

Caracas, Kobe, York

We’re businessmen / midday is just trippy

no 3-yr reveal right away

labor–it’ll be good fungus

York semi-eyeball

“You just insulted yourself!”

I ended this random journey on the southern edge of the World Trade Center site, taking pictures of destruction, firemen, and the Deutsche Bank building–just like all the other tourists.
