The gang is in disagreement. Nobody comes up with a viable plan. Crankman has lost his calm. The Father can’t control them. We are twenty-four hours away from the action.

Citizen Brooklyn is on the prowl for artistic talent. The Brooklyn Museum has just made a big bet at the table. Is it bluffing? Over thirteen hundred artists with impromptu open studio visits in a two-day period.

The talent sharks are quietly honing their knives in the back rooms of Chelsea’s biggest galleries. This is unprecedented. Open Art Surgery. Is Brooklyn really going to reveal all its gems to the despised Main Island?

We look at the cards on the table: too many players. Some with an obviously bad hand begin to fold. We wait. The Museum has an impenetrable Mona Lisa smile on its face. Now there is a good game on the table. It cannot be a bluff. Too much at stake. We go see and, yes, we grab the loot.

We got game. We ride out breaking the law with a few precious samples. Upload. Map. Publish. Crankman hits the brakes. We’re done. Check it out. We’ll see you in Brooklyn over the weekend. Take your weapons and leave the fedoras.
