Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
I'm going to London for the first time since 1992. It was Halloween, the first *legal* rave in London I got to dance at for a bit, on top of visiting various house parties. It was a whirlwind 24 hours and forgot all the purchases I made in Piccadilly in my hotel room. I also… Continue reading Sunset Trip book party at Rough Trade East.
What seemed most appropriate ahead of my birthday? A trip to my favorite place in the USA: New Orleans! When it was sprung on me, the feeling was that perhaps this trip I'd stay in the French Quarter -- which I've never done.
We spent a few weeks filled with train travel, art museums, museums, carb loading, tea, cats, dance clubs and meeting-up with friends.
A new article has been written about Q and the now storied song "Goodbye Horses". I can tell you for a fact it wasn't until after my friend Bill passed away almost a decade ago, that all of the real interest sprouted.

Your time is not guaranteed; go to that gig, lecture, exhibition, dinner, party, and go on that date. Don't be a dick and stay home watching TV because you are lazy and tired from a job you don't like much anyway.

I'm more than a little annoyed I was almost sent on my merry way and this wasn't caught. I knew something was wrong and it still took a nudge to get proper imaging done. So for this round I'm comfortable saying that I caught this, not a doctor for once.
More than a few times in the last six years, it has gotten back to me that acquaintances or any numbers of people groaned about how they were sick of hearing about my medical ailments. How fortunate for them that I at one point went an entire year without any emergency hospital or doctor visits;… Continue reading Low Down Tired Now
This will be very different work for me and it's the first time I'll be having a dedicated show of the new direction I've been going in. I read a horoscope a few months back saying that for me, as a Gemini, unveiling a new creative direction in public in June was the worst time to do so and it would not be well received.
