ok, kiddos, bunch 'o stuff happening lately...
first, i'm moved into my new pad. there's still some unpacking to do, but it's pretty cool. it's nice and secluded, there's a bigger room for syd, and it's a much better deal than my last place. the only drawbacks so far are the size (it's a bit tiny) and the fact that i don't control the heat....

Your profile pic rocks!!!
at this very moment, i'm supposed to packing like a fiend, preparing to move around the corner to my new digs. it's going to be nice to have a change of scenery, even though i love this house. there's been good times here, bad times here, downright evil times here, and everything between those three points. i'm supposed to be moving out tomorrow, but i...

I love moving. Sometimes it is bittersweet but I always find it to be exciting. Good luck with the move.
Fellow true believer? I hesitate to ask what it is I beleive in, I sometimes think I don't have any faith in amything.

we're playing a show on the 9th of april with our friends, Ambassador...

Short answer ... no I don't know how to redeem my points. 
kestrel:
WAIT! I thought you WERE on my friend list. Dammit, boy!
can't get the stink off
he's been hanging round for days
comes like a comet
sucking you but not your friends
one day he'll get to you
and teach you how to get to purest hell
you do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself, you do
you and no one else
won't get much sympathy
hanging...

>i would love to hear any stories you have.
Well, first you gotta know his wife, nancy spero, doesn't do ANY of her own work and hasn't for years--she doesn't even pick which appropriated images get stuck in her collages--so she's got this ever-shifting squadron of female art atudents who make her art for her and i knew a few of them.
Leon loves that fantasy illustration magazine Heavy Metal--i got one of his copies.
All the drippy backgrounds of his paintings, his assistant does those.
Once i went to a meeting of Artists and Writers in Protest--this was during Gingrich's Contract with America--i gave a little speech about students needing to be active and do stuff and Leon Golub stood up and said to me "YOU! YOU have to be the one to do this! Start it off!"
the documentary--my roomate's got it--it's ok, but there's a lot of footage of Leon sort of narrating himself doing things that are self-evident, like "Now I'm gonna get this nice and green" while mixing green paint. I have a Francis Bacon one that i like much better, because Francis was totally nuts.
>you should try going out in OK sometime. if the subway tunnels in NYC were constructed to mock the lonely, then the whole of the lower midwest was founded in order to compound and poke at the lonely with large, pre-historic spears.
well you can see how none of what you just said would actually function as an inducement to come out there.

so, i'm sure you're wondering what sort of awesome i got up to for the st. patty's day celebration. it had nothing to do with the colour green, cheap beer, or any mixture of the two. in fact, i spent my evening in tulsa, having my ears gently massaged by the soothing rock and roll sounds of one Mr. Elvis Costello. he says to say...

Hey killer. Is it too late to get one of those shirts?
i don't wear green, i wear emerald.
legionnaire:
The really sad thing is that I wear green all the time. So today I'm doubling on two different shades of green. Yeah, I'm a dork.
so, here's the plan:
step 1: graduate. december is the actual date but i will probably have to wait until may of '06 because of OU's craptacular class scheduling.
step 2: quit current pissy job and get a real one, preferably in the field of art. i've thought about the OKCMOA but if that doesn't pan out, then i will go for a local screen-printing...

legionnaire:
I'd like some too. Maybe you can sell some of your artwork though? Good art can generate a lot of cash if you market it towards the right people.
antony:
I don't see you giving me money.
well, despite the fact that the crowd loved us, we met a ton of cool people, tried to bribe the A&R reps, and played our asses off with the shittiest sound setup imaginable, we didn't get a major label deal in St. Louis. We did have a great time though, and we will definitely be going up to Lemmon's Basement Bar again before too long...

holden_caulfield:
Sorry to hear that your sound system sucked. Better luck next time.
Well, we're halfway done. Three songs are mixed and we are practically pissing ourselves at how good they turned out. Why don't you all go listen at Decibel Industry dot com? Let us know what you think!
We also have new merch for sale. The T-shirt biz is going good at the moment, so keep ordering folks!
wheeee!

Let me know if you think there's an artistic merit in what I posted in my current journal. That sort of thing has fueled much debate with a lot of people I know.
mk700c:
I finally remembered to PP you for Jim's shirt. This thing is awesome, I get compliments on it all fucking day.
Is that image copyrighted? What about Lee's likeness? I'm just sayin', there could be quite the little enterprise there.
