when i was at art college this collection was a big influence on me. now finally i have seen it.
and it surpassed even my expectations.
i found myself close to tears. and that never happens in galleries.. normally i am falling asleep
or try to find a cup of coffee.

honestly try it.. if you are ever here, it will change you.

(the fence whistl;es like sleighbells)

lacks motivation. full of own self importance.
always shooting his mouth off.
tends to stray from the path:

Not as good as.
that one there, no, not this one.
category.
sticker.
list.
position.

never was.
never will be again.
the only way is down.
so now ambels around aimlessly.
casting around for that magic. me.

it is denied.

searches for own epitaph in graveyard.

i was told yesterday that one of the daughters of the president came to NY show 2.
we were playing THe Tourist at the end of the show.. and yyes we did wander what the shuffling manhandling fighting was in the distance of the audience.
turns out it was her 6 bodyguards clearing the way for the first daughters exit. and some pour soul objected at being manhandled by the secret service. i think i would have to.

infact if i had known all this my objections would have been more forthright and extensive...if you know what i mean. which is perhaps why our lot chose not to tell me who was in the building before we went on. probably a good idea.
