"In a feature article in June, Bangkok's largest English-language newspaper, The Nation, lamented how far Thailand is behind the West in performance art, owing to Thais' cultural inhibitions. Nonetheless, given brief mentions in the article were a woman named Mink who coats the floor with toothpaste & wallows in it, to signify "that we all have to wriggle out of difficult situations in order to survive" & the father of Thai performance art, Inson Wongsam, who in the 1960's sculpted an elephant out of a block of ice by precision urination." - excerpted from Chuck Sheperd's "News of the Weird", from Vol.8 No.8, the 12/24/97 edition of The Weekly |

wanted to cross over the Mekong and see if i could find the house at Salekaton B-13 in Vientiane. i used to live there. i was young. foolish. now i'm old and dangerous and living in new york. Which of the places is more exotic? had this funny exchange with a friend last week. he said "it's a 2-hour flight from here to the Bahamas. it would take me 2 hours to get to Brooklyn from here." And I asked "So ask yourself, which of those places is more exotic?" And we laughed and laughed and laughed. And laughed. |

I don't think I can pee over a fence today, though. I don't know what I had when I was a kid. I guess I traded firehose power for firehose stature. (<-- male ego dictated this statement. don't blame me, I stubbed my toe.) |

It ran into the gutter and down the spout...why did I do this? I have no idea. I was egged on by my best friend (who was a girl). Why am I telling you people this? I still have no idea. But it is addictive. |
He was right. It's all art - which doesn't mean it can't be really shitty art, but... |
Wasn't he satisfied with the closure of all the adult entertainment? |
he won't be satisfied until he's dressed up in jackboots, wearing a little moustache, and goose-stepping down broadway while Wagner blasts in the background and the residents of manhattan line-up and salute as he prances by. anyway, asshole has already pretty much totally compromised his game. although he's correct in saying that the "public" is not obligated to subsidize art, once the funding is in effect it cannot be discontinued just because of a mayor's personal discrimination. that's against the law. he sure as hell can't yank the Brooklyn Museum's lease. bottom line is that giuliani is a dick. it disgusts me that he would try to pull this off in new york city, of all places. some one should be kicking his ass on a daily basis. |
yeah his broom is getting a little big. I have heard he has done alot of good at makin the streets a little safer, at what price, i am unsure of. but these types of things are just out of his league. He being the mayor, of all places, has the potential to hurt that city in bad way. |
he gets elected in times of economic prosperity and then tries to front like he had jack shit to do with the reduction of crime in NYC. hell, the murder rates are slowly climbing again. let's see him take credit for that. prick. the books state that you need a permit for any group over 20 to gather in central park. park officials rarely enforce it, though. generally i think you don't have anything to worry about until your group approaches 100. but of course that could all change. (it's also against the law to screw in the park. go figure.) did i mention that giuliani is a dick? |
