Open Arts Studio-Spit Reunion-Chicago
Much bike riding all around Somerville for the open Art Studios. Why do you even need to go to a museum. Such wonderful artists all over Somerville. Vernon Street Studios was a highlight. I had so much fun going from studio to studio seeing such diverse art and craft work. But today was hot hot hot. Unusual and also having to deal with the broken sewer line from the Weston dam where Somerville gets it's water. We're having to boil everything here at the Soupie/Bo's. Can't even wash your hands. This is what third world countries have to deal with on a regular basis. Our time has come, but I digress. May 1 Spit Reunion Show was wonderful. I met some very nice people. Something I never would have said back in the day. Nice and sweet were words that you may have wanted to puke to. You wanted to be cool. So foolish are the young.
Two days later: I am in Chicago with Tim Jackson, staying with my daughter a lovely hostess. His film "Radical Jesters" is showing at the Anarchist Film Festival. The three of us are in and out of museums, art art art...sometimes I think shmart shmart shmart. No I love art but I love trees even more. Lots of good food in Chicago. A poster, that I have yet to create, was accepted into the annual Trauma Conference which is in Boston. I will be working on that for the next two weeks. This is very exciting. Another exciting thing is that my song When Things Go Wrong will be on the soundtrack as well as in the new Adam Sandler movie "Grown Ups."
