Thank you for coming.
Die stand ja schon unter besten Vorzeichen, der einzige Tag an dem die Sonne schien, Tonic war im Angebot und Gin billiger als erwartet, der Schlüsselanhänger neonpink. Was will man mehr? Nachdem das die erste Ausstellung war, die ich mehr oder weniger selbst organisiert habe - kuratiert nur insofern, dass ich ein paar Leute eingeladen habe mitzumachen - Resumeé : 1+Zuckerobendrauf. Ich hoffe auf eine Fortsetzung, one day soon. From Off Space to Off Space.
Wie bezeichnend mit Manifestton und zumindest als frisch verkauften Pizzastückchen auf einem Sonnenschirmständer den Abend zu beenden.
Eine der schönsten Textpassagen, die ich jemals gelesen habe ist folgende:
Emily came and found me and brianna by the side of the stage and we watched this all going down and then I decided it would be a good idea to streak and when em brought me another whiskey and the band struck up “lover I don't have to love” I decided that god wanted me to do it. what perfect way to puncuate a song about casual sex, loneliness and a lack of caring about the universe than random nakedness? emily, being the mom-like tour manager that she is, reacted first with doubt but then after thinking it through and looking at the way the show and crowd were progressing decided that "this needs to happen for so many reasons". the voices in my own head were somewhat of a blur, but it was a familiar "something interesting has to take place now" kind of amanda head-refrain. so I waited til the song ended, got undressed, walked to the middle of the stage, and made out with conor oberst for ten seconds. he quite seemed to enjoy it, and he was an amzing kisser even if he's a brat. I was pried away by a burly security guy who didn't seem to think it was at all funny and told to get the fuck out of the tent so we went back to the bar and I freestyle-rapped a song about how emily is the best tour manager in the world. I did talk to c-dog before his entourage left but I think “all sorts of inebriated” wouldn't suffice to explain his state. gone, just gone......gone.
Soweit.
The Dog Days Are Over.
