Tonya, Don't you get it? That quote is Post Modern Art! (Don't make me have to come out to Brooklyn and explain it to you 'cause I will! ) Read it again. No, first smoke a joint then read it again. It's brilliant sweetie. It's art. It is fabulous.

Hattie, in April 2002 there was a film festival on DW in the UK, http://www.outuk.com/cgi-bin/llgff/filmdetail.pl?link_ref=81 it seems to me that an exhaustive amount of research was put into getting all these works together for this show, which would entail contacting anyone who might know something about your missing film.

Re: The Palladium

Like Nick Lowe or The Plasmatics One night Wendy O blasted the hood off a White Caddy and almost took out the people in the first five rows when it landed in "way" the wrong place. It being punk times they loved it and screamed for more. Needless to say Wendy never quite topped that moment.

I remember the Palladium having alot of great art. I can't remember when but they had this big Keith Haring backdrop and some other art on the back wall.

Scotty the Blue Bunny was reminding me last night of the time Otter had scheduled a midget to hide beneath her hoop skirt and fist her vagina on stage.

I have to admit he has iron balls! I love the fact that he can get up there and say anything because he's this fat sloppy guy who has no need for Hollywood and it's system. He's not an actor up there trying to get his next big role. He can be annoyingly confrontational but that is his style.

Re: Michael Moore
I initially felt that Moore's film would strike a blow against documentaries as an art form, but it's possible that it is only an example of opinionated, selective documentary filmmaking gone a few steps too far. I argued with my friend that there's a difference between selective presentation of true facts and outright lies, but he wasn't having it. He gets kind of obstinate whenever people disagree with him. He said I can't comment until I see the film. I say that's bullshit, since I only...

Towards the sordid end of Club 57, before someone embezzled the rent money, there was a year end art show. Your piece had to be something about your New Year's resolution. For mine, I got every empty bag of heroin I could find-- on the street, in the club, in my own and friends apartments (not hard to do,) and pasted them on a canvas along with notepaper on which I had written 100 times, "I will never do heroin again." That was the hard part. Writing it, that is. Along with all that, I glued...

Re: My own private East Village
I like what the article says about bohemia now being more of an attitude than a place. But wasn't that what it always was? And if this wasn't such a "sucky period" Jen would be a commercial art gallery celebrity instead of a great bohemian. It is always the adversity that tests -whether one finds oneself thriving in it, even because of it- that determines whether one is a bohemian, I think.
