:: Downtown's Not A Cornfield living exhibit ends its "gold phase" and enters its final "blue phase" tomorrow. If you haven't seen Not A Cornfield yet, it's already too late to see the tall, green, corn-laden stalks. But get out there now, as the golden stalks are disappearing:
On Saturday December 3, 2005 Hirokazu Kosaka, a Kyudo archer, will shoot an arrow on the Not A Cornfield site, signaling the end of the project's Gold Phase and ushering in the final Blue Phase. Kyudo - traditional Japanese archery- is a mobile form of the meditation zazen, and the firing of the arrow speaks to both the concept and the intentions of the Blue Phase. For this project has taken aim at revivifying a parcel of land at the historic center of our city and, having hit its target, it now opens up a space in which to consider the wider ramifications of our responsibilities and relationship to the earth.

I have three, all from a heading-east perspective. First, taking Sunset east, you're screwed if you want to head north and miss your Vermont Ave. turn. Your next major shot is the Sunset/Hollywood/Virgil/Hillhurst mess, where you'll be waiting a while to turn left.
Next up, heading East on Burton Way out of Beverly Hills, there's no possibility of turning left on La Cienega. Nope, the street suddenly curves and dumps you off heading South on San Vicente, and before you know it you've hit Wilshire, cursing all the way.
Finally, heading east on Beverly, just try to make a left onto Virgil. Good luck.
