Devotion to motion

A few points about Elizabeth Streb, who read from her new memoir/guide--STREB: How to Become an Extreme Action Hero--last night at NoLiTa's McNally Jackson Books:

1) The woman is funny.

2) She's definitely one of a kind, decidedly her own person.

3) She knows a lot of science--and scientists!

4) She's got guts galore.

In summation, she's the coolest thing next to Rachel Maddow. I'm looking forward to this book and to finding out all that went into creating a daring, intellectually curious and pioneering artist who investigates everything from the conventional language of dance to the nature of time.

My adventure in life began with action, 

and I know it will end with action.
