Last night I got into a conversation with a crazy but hilarious guy at the Mt. Royal tavern.
I guess he doesn't go there often, which sucks. I wish I'd written down more of his quotes.
He started talking about art and motion, and how it amazes him, art vs. sport.
And then it got extended too far, by a friend of mine, who determined that coming into a bar and ordering a drink was an art.
I disagreed.
"No," I said. "I think that's more of a sport."
He replied, "Nobody's keeping score...
except for all of us."

Someone just happened to mention the story in the article above in passing. It's a bout a guy who died at a show at the Solar Haus in Blacksburg, VA. The Solar Haus was a great place to play. Everyone there was really nice and there was always a great party afterwards. I don't know how I never heard about this happening but I feel bad for the people involved and the people who were injured/died. Thank god the dirtfarm is ground level.
I've decided to add a little link somewhere on the page that will detail our response policy... what rights you have a responder, what privacy rights you can expect... You know, things like that.

There's nudity, beans, cleavage, cake, hot Indian men, swimming pools, movie stars. I blew up 102 balloons until my lips were paralyzed. The last two took fifteen minutes. And chocolate, I almost forgot the chocolate.
