The Wedding of Hassan Fattah

Part One: We meet Hassan Fattah, follow him from New York to Baghdad

to Turkey. He invites friends to his wedding, and introduces his

fiance on a trip back to New York. Vanx and Kara are in.

Part Two: Vanx paints Kara and their friend Nancy at the Chelsea Hotel

in New York. A perfect day, during which Vanx and Kara agonize over

whether they can pull off the trip.

Part Three: Vanx, taking code name Rikki Mullin, enters the Muslim

World. He can't find Hassan and he gets cornered at sunrise.

Part Four: Your wedding guest takes in the sights around Sultanahmet

and gets busy with the sketchbook. A series of surreal, invigorating

and unfortunate events at the Galatasaray Hammami follows, and we wind

up with fish at the flower passage. Editor's note: Skip the ice cream.

Part Five: A day at the bazaar, the wedding ceremony, and a night on

the Bosphorus.

Part Six: Sketching on the Street of Carpenters and dancing at the

Asma Sultan Yalise reception.
