p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi, David. Yeah, it was a really nice club. One of the few I ever liked enough to hang out in. ** xTx, Hey! Awesome! Oh, shit, the thanks are all mine! I'm so excited! The book is wending its way to me as I type, and I'm going to leap on it and devour it, and maybe I'll even eat it! Like 'chomp, chomp, swallow' eat. Congrats, great one! And it's so, so cool to see you! Big love, me. ** Steevee, Hi. Mm, I'm not sure. We're editing the film in Final Cut Pro 10, so perhaps he can do the color correction in that program? There was some talk at one point of using something called 'Da Vinci' for the color correction? Do you know that? I don't know what that is. I think Zac probably knows how K. intends to do it, but, for tech novice me, he's just going to come over and work his magic, ** Magick mike, Hi, Mike! Me too. Excited, I mean. I'm hoping the book reaches Paris in the next few days. I highly recommend 'Billie the Bull', if you get the chance to read it. That's my favorite work of hers so far, or at least until I dig into the new one. Great news about the SL release. I don't think I've ever read that writer. Is this his first English translation? Great! Let me pass along the news. Everyone, D.l. magick mike aka the superb writer M. Kitchell mans this fantastic press Solar Luxuriance, as you may know, and, anyway, here he is to announce his exciting new release. Listen and follow. MM: '[J]ust wanted to also mention that today marks the release of my press, Solar Luxuriance's first release of a work in translation! Amandine André's CIRCLE OF DOGS, translated by Kit Schluter & Jocelyn Spaar is astoundingly heavy, and I'm thrilled to have it be the first French work I'm releasing.' Get it here, won't you? Thanks a lot, man! ** Etc etc etc, Hi, Casey! Dude, I saw stuff on FB yesterday about this great review of Mark's book, and I read some samples from it put up by Mark and Ken Baumann, and I thought what I read was just fantastic, and for some reason I didn't even check the byline, and only now do I realize that you wrote it! Based on what I read, it's a really smart, knowing, very strong and good review, man! I'm going to try to get my hands on the issue. I think Shakespeare & Co. actually stocks Rain Taxi, amazingly enough. Major kudos! Everyone, Try to get your hands on the new issue of the great lit. journal Rain Taxi so you can read the review of Mark Gluth's 'No Other' written by the one, the only d.l. etc etc etc aka great scribe Casey Michael Henry! Are there plans to put the review online, do you know? I will get/try to get 'The Disaster Artist', for sure. And I need to see that Cronenberg. Maybe it's on the newish French version of Netflix by now. My back is minutely better today, thanks. I just need to walk a bunch, which I plan to do in a bit. Thanks a lot! ** Kier, Dencake, ha ha. It must be that softish vowel sound in 'den' that makes it so mutable. Well, that plus your own genius in your case. Okay, I'll retract my RIP for now, and I'll hope that the sheepling makes a daring escape or something. I bet Oslo will totally refresh you. I don't know why, it just seems like Oslo is an energizing place based on my couple of visits there. Eight hour train ride, yikes. Do you play video games or read or listen to music or how do you survive that ensconcement? Oh, wait, you said you'll draw! Best possible time usage ever. I hope everything goes incredibly great! If you find it easy and pleasing to check in while you're there, do let me/us know how everything is going. My day: Zac was still working on the replanting of Scene 1's sound, so we delayed the editing until today. So I worked other stuff, like emails and an interview I need to finish and this and that. It turns out that to rent the apartment I liked, I would need a French citizen to guarantee that I'll pay my rent. Some apartments require that. Gisele said she'd sign on, but she's unacceptable because she has this special French artist status whereby, when she's not making work and earning money from it, she immediately starts getting these special artist unemployment benefits -- man, you gotta love France -- and that makes her not acceptable as a guarantee person. And I realized that I really only know one person here with enough status and money to qualify, and that person has already been incredibly generous to me in many ways, so I don't want to ask him, so, basically, I can't get that apartment. There's another one where I don't think (fingers crossed) I need to be guaranteed, so we'll see. It's all pretty stressful. In the evening, Zac and I went to this gallery opening where Fujiko Nakaya had a piece, and that was cool, and it was really great to see her. Then I came home and did more grunt work and tried to improve my fucked up back not very successfully. I guess your day was spent mostly on a train. If you see this, if you can, how was the ride? ** Sickly, Hi, S! Yeah, it's crunched time for me right now between the film work/deadline and needing to find new living quarters, and it's slightly maddening, but oh well, right? Maybe French parents are still like they were in Proust's days? Do I even know any French parents? Maybe not. Weird. 'Dennron', right. Aw, Antonio, sigh. Howdy-do to you, pal. ** Cal Graves, Hi ... DeCal! Hey, that gets both of our names in. Not bad, right? I thought about an easy chair. That was my second choice. For some reason the word 'easy' scared me at the last minute, ha ha. Thanks for the link! I'll start there. Cool! I just try to use a dissolve or montage effect on the shit in my work. Sometimes those special effects are a good hiding place. Unless something or, rather, someone, more like, fails us, this week should be intense, but I think the film will reach full awesomeness maybe. Wow, that's quite a question, man. I'm going to go downstairs and have a quick smoke and think about it right now, and then I'll answer. Hold on. Won't be but a few minutes. Okay, while fucking, they start to realize that there's something eerily familiar about each other at which point they realize they're the same person split into two. But the split caused them to only have half of their normal level of intelligence, so, even though the magic and seeming impossibility of their having been subdivided into two people is by far the most interesting thing going on, they don't care because that's too conceptual for their downgraded brains, so they just think, 'Wow, I'm really hot', and they have great, meaningless sex, while I watch and think, 'Too bad construction workers aren't my type'. Okay, give me your answer, sir. ** Keaton, Obviously, you're contagious, or your sexual fantasies are, or something. Pancakes fucking rule! You're crazy! Pancakes are sublime! You're crazy! Still, I should see Pittsburgh, even if it's not much. I'll figure out why I should go there and do that one of these days. I love factories. I feel like there must be a lot of factories there for some reason. I like soot too. It's St. Patricks Day? When? Like, now? I don't think the French do that 'holiday'? Or maybe they do. Enjoy! ** Chris Dankland, Hi, Chris! It's really, really great to see you! I know, I know, I'm dancing on my tiptoes in anticipation of reading that new xTx! I'm good, just, yeah, crazy busy, but for mostly the best reasons. I'm excited for you to see our film! Once we get it finished, we're going to start talking to the distributors and stuff about how it can get shown, released, etc. Wow, weirdly I only have the very vaguest memory of Vollman asking me that. I remember he did. I had forgotten all about that. I can't remember for the life of me what I suggested. I'm not really the type to make specific suggestions. I think I probably just talked with him about the issue in some way that I hoped would get him to pony up with a dormant idea that he really liked. When I personally don't know what I want to do next with my writing, I try not to worry about it because I've learned 'over the years' that feeling vague and lost and unexcited by any idea is totally part of the deal. Me, I tend to concentrate on other projects, collaborations and stuff when that happens. I definitely don't force myself to start something based on what I think I should do, I just wait until something happens that makes me want to write uncontrollably. You know, I downloaded the new Bjork, but I haven't listened to it yet, weirdly. I haven't heard anything of it. I think maybe I'm unconsciously waiting for people to stop talking about it and about her 'disastrous' MoMA retrospective so I can listen to it without external noise. I do have a curiosity about the break-up aspect because, whether it's relevant or a good thing to be thinking about, I had dinner and hung out with Mathew Barney the last time I was in NYC, and I liked him as a person, so I'm curious to see him portrayed as a character in the songs now that I have my own thoughts about him or something. How are you? Are you writing? How is that going? I'd love a catch-up if you don't mind. All the very, very, very best to you! ** James, Hi, J. Thanks, man. Uh, well, the producers raised the money to let us make the film, and that's pretty big. And they'll be in charge of where it ends up being shown and how it's released and so on, for better or worse. And they co-own the film, so the film will forever be wedded to them, which is kind of scary to think about. I just think they must be accustomed to producing films that are really messy and half-assed looking and sounding, and they just weren't prepared to deal with a film that has a very meticulous look and sound. It'll be okay, hopefully, I think. Thank you, James. ** Grant maierhofer, Hey, Grant! I only saw just before falling asleep last night that the new/last Death Grips is announced, and I haven't had a chance to hear that track yet, but I'm really excited. yes! Thank you, man! ** Okay. I decided to let 181 things stare innocently at you or at the imaginary area around you today and see what happened. So, what happened? See you tomorrow.
