Yes, We have some Bananas! (Fruit Art)
Yes, we had a queer bunch of art-nanas today! But they won’t a-peel much to the Art World. Impossible to commodify: already consumed and composted! Delicious with bread pudding. Burp…thanks.

Shock Top Reflection

What’s a Shock Top? One who’s Awful, too? Here he just sells beer, quoting the Mohawk warriors – who were said to have plucked their heads clean hair by hair, and that only after having proved themselves by shedding blood. Cahto and Pomo and other California 1st nation people were historically more peaceful. And more prosperous. Fancy that.
Happy Dore Alley weekend to Mohawk and other hair-wearing Fair attendees! Tops: please don’t be too shocking. bottoms: don’t be awful at all. Everyone: play hard, have fun, take good care of one another.
