hi world. i know you think i ve fallen off the cliffs into abysses indubidibly and never to be heard of again. im actually in the queens library, on a limited time engagement here at the computer, for the next half hour or so. im screwed because it wont let me download stuff i need to use, so instead i will do diaryland. for old times sake. the world is frightening and vengeful today, me thinks.

upcoming is an open studios for 40 of the artists in my building, the crane street studios, Long Island City, New York. im organizing it, but have had marginal success in executing the plans. basically , everything that i have done singly, on my own, has worked out ecstaticly. from the gallery mail bomb campaign, to the huge sprawling barn painting advertising on the side of the building. any time i have had to rely on other artists for stuff, things have gone miserably wrong. Steven, the guy who was to design and print the 5000 or so post cards, ended up taking the money that i so painstakingly raised from the buildings inhabitants, and paying his rent with it. Zoran is just a bitter old man, and wants to crucify Steven for this. STeven is all defensive, and throws blame at anyone he can find. the infighting has been stressful and stupid.

Someone has been graceful enough to give me a car. I now have in my possesion a 1988 Merkur Scorpio. it has 80 000 miles on it, and is in pretty good condition. Completely insured in my name in the state of newyork. yeah,! i rock for getting the ball together on that one. So kelli and i will go on summer tours whenever we feel like it.

kelli got a new job, and now is maybe going to be happier in the city... getting on the track of doing what she wants to be doing.

um...

saw greg brown perform a few weeks ago. he is the shi-zat. he's like up there with the greats, as far as im concerned.

it s rainy here, and i got things to do! love to everyone.

oh, im still working for the light installation artist. Erwin Redl currently has 3 huge installations along the length of Madison Ave. the WHitney museum (75th st), Calvin Klein, (60th st), and the Austrian Culture Forum (52nd , between 5th and Madison). the last one, we worked 19 hours straight on the final day of installation. FUN.
