: You know, some of you guys...Bill and jonvon specifically...are born too late. You really would have fit in in turn of the century paris, working through the poetry and writing of the surrealist and dada guys. If you guys are only familiar with the visual art side of those movements, you should look into the writers that were also involved...
: I also was born too late, but would have been some crazy explorer running around the old west. But that's another story.
: Ok, back to work..
actually i've always been attracted to that era. i've been strong into henry miller, who kinda tagged along around the end of all that, i believe. he was in paris and writing in the 20's, if i remember right.
anyway i have thought the exact same thing about myself. weird that you should bring that up. weird weird. uh, yeah.
but anyway, i've been thinking lately that i think we have the start of something that could happen right here in our town. we need more artist types and we need to all hang around and plug one another in. we need to take ourselves and our art seriously and do stuff. and its cool cuz we kinda are doing it, even if serendipitously/accidentally as we stumble over things. right. anyway i think some good things are happening and its only going to get better, i hope.
