TRANSMISSION LA

This week the Ellis family was under the weather.  Annie picked up a cold at a birthday party and we all ended up catching it.  It was snot-city over here, so we kept a low profile.  By the weekend, we were antsy to get out and about.  We heard about a fabulous exhibit at the MOCA called Transmission LA and decided to check it out.  Not really knowing what to expect, we arrived to find an array of pieces all with a common theme of relating movement to sound.  The exhibit was, for the most part, kid-friendly, and Annabelle loved moving from room to room checking out the art, often stopping to listen by pointing to her ear, and then breaking into one of her signature dance moves.  The darker rooms with lasers and moving pictures were her favorite.   Aside from exhibit itself, we had a nice picnic lunch, walked through Little Tokyo on the way (which I had never been too), and even got to see a hip hop video being filmed at a sneaker store.  Pretty cool.  We finished off the afternoon with some Pinkberry.  What's not to love (aside from still having a raspy voice and a small case left of the sniffles.)
