I'm the girl that ripped the Picasso at the Met - w4m (New York)

Let's hope no-one bumps into any of Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections paintings at the Love in Transit Valentine's Day Missed Connections Party at the New York Transit Museum tonight.  But if they do it reminds me of one of my favourite Missed Connectons from craigslist New York last year…

I'm the girl that ripped the Picasso at the Met - w4m
This was on Friday at the Met. I remember you from the elevator when we were going from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. You were the guy wearing the red sweater...

I held the door open for you and you smiled at me. I saw you again in the Cubism section. I was standing in front of The Actor painting by Picasso. You were looking at Matisse's "View of Collioure and the Sea". You were standing there for a while, sketching in a brown notebook. I was about to approach you, but froze up and ended up tripping and falling into the painting leaving a small tear. I think you left before the security got there.

If you read about this in the news the next day, I'm the girl from the elevator.
