This is a pic taken from the parking lot when I pulled into Sickles Park, in Little Silver, getting ready to get out and make my final tablet's posting in a stall in the women's bathroom. Here the public/private divide is blurred as the bathroom technically is a public place, where anyone is allowed access, but it's on the condition that she is a woman, and that she comes during the hours the park is open. Also, the bathroom stall is a private place within a larger public domain.

Here is the final tablet at Sickles Park women's bathroom in Little Silver. I left it there into the night and when I went back that evening to see it the bathroom was locked so stay tuned to see if anyone wrote on it.... The second HIPCAST MOBLOG details this location and I phoned it it from the bathroom after I took these 2 pics. from inside the bathroom. The time of the video says 10:14 am, and again it wasn't actually that time when I did the audio.

So good......
A public bathroom is certainly an interesting space (especially in terms of gender and our ideas about public/private). A lot of policing goes on in bathrooms, as does a lot of interesting graffiti... I can't wait to see if/what people write.
