我刚结束了一个半月充斥着展览、读物和派对的欧洲之旅,回到我洛杉矶的家。再两个月前,我向交往了四年的艺术家女友瑞秋·拉拜求了婚。自己似乎很长时间没动笔写散文或短篇了。数月前,岳鸿飞邀我为即将出版的一期《艺术界》写稿,什么都行。我说得过一阵。他说没问题。几周后,我告诉他,我想跟朋友,英国艺术家艾德·弗尼勒斯一同去拉斯维加斯过7月4号独立日,之后会写个游记。 I just finished a month and a half trip to Europe full of exhibitions, readings and parties and returned to my Los Angeles home. Two months ago, I married Rachel Laibai, an artist’s girlfriend who had been with us for four years. It seems that I have not written a short essay or short story for a long time. A few months ago, Yue Hongfei invited me to write a draft for the forthcoming issue of the “art world,” and do whatever it takes. I said it for a while. He said no problem. A few weeks later, I told him I wanted to go to Las Vegas with friends, British artist Ed Fernles, on July 4, Independence Day and write a travelogue later.
