Scoolio is over this May with my art show May 13. Wee. I am making a movie called "Double D Vision" that I am shooting using my camera bra. It will be pretty.
Lately I've been listening to alot of Quintron. I think I want to put some of his music in the movie and I wonder if any killoggsers know him or his email or something. i gotsta get my greasy paws on it.
Oh. cool stuff. My video about following vito acconci will be screened at the end of this month at Galapagos in Williamsburg. And some art critics are coming to school to check out the video in april. hooray.

I know this because he called me once at my dad's house, and said, "Hi Nathan, this is Mr. Quintron, I'm calling because I'm going to play at your wedding this weekend in Baton Rouge." I thought this was a foxy hoax, but then right there on the caller ID was Mr. Quintron. I've heard of people's video projects in which he participates.

There's a ton of his stuff on Audiogalaxy, and a story the Reader did on him last Fall (He's an chi-town ex-pat) reinvigorated interest here in him here. I've heard rumors that Ms. Bourgeois gots his digits, but shhhh that ain't nothing but hearsay. Merry Christmas, Laura!.

The kind of special you feel when you are in kindergarten and the teacher interupts class to anounce to everyone it's your birthday, but loads cooler than that. Those two were so nice to me and I never understood why. Quintron and Miss Pussycat are the most unusual and captivating people I've ever met. They are part of what I desparately miss about New Orleans.
By the way, I'm gonna be in New Orleans all next week. This is a call to action for all that wanna hang out.

I think that Panacea's presence keeps that scene from being astoundingly creative without being antagonistic or gross like the other cities' art scenes seem to tend towards. Over the past seven years, their house shows have been some of my favorite memories too.

That thing's really gotten around. I had no idea it was going to be seen all over the place when we went in to do it. I also have the copy of the Reader that has him in it. It freaked me out cos it was sitting on my keyboard when I got back into town from California at the end of the summer. It also freaked me out cos it was all about events that took place in New Orleans (a lot of them which I was there for). It also freaked me out cos they don't let people do stories on them very often, and that article went way beyond that of any other thing that I've seen written about them. It had way too much information. So I wrote to Caroline about it and she said that the girl who wrote it was an old friend of Quintron's from when he lived in Chicago. It freaked me out that it landed on my keyboard, but then I found out that the CityPaper is owned by the Chicago Reader. They own a lof of weekly papers. Maybe I'll go work for them one day...

Nathan said at 4:06 AM 03-17-2002: Jeez, man, yes really, check it out yourself. Also, remember Lothar of the Hill People from SNL? There was a absurtist sixties band named Lothar and the Hand People. If sub-mainstream creative cultures disappeared, the mainstream would have nothing to rip off.
