p.s. Hey. Happy Halloween, dudes. ** Thomas Moronic, T! A jewel-filled, stack-shaped parcel of sublimely persnickety dark genius, Maestro. Always humbling, never more so than now. ** David Ehrenstein, Yes, I wondered if the Bibi poster was the slave's psychological trick to incite masters into wanting to wreak particularly horrible havoc on him because it certainly worked that way on me. I'm curious about the Luc Sante book. I generally really like his writing. That book has had some criticism over here for perpetuating a very romantic, very 'exhausted' (in the critics' words) take on poverty and criminality, but I'm curious. ** Steevee, Oh, thank you so much for talking to him! The DVD release issue is kind of in-flux and a mess at this very moment. It has been planned for April, but now I'm not sure. Also not sure if the DVD would destroy the possibility to show at a place like AFA. I'm hoping to get all of that sorted out and contact him very soon. Thank you a lot, Steve. Zac and I both really appreciate it! ** Chibre Noise, Hi, Chibre Noise! Welcome to this place! Very nice to meet you! Your collages are really awesome! I bow deeply to you, and I'll give others reading this the chance to do the same. Everyone, new-to-the-commenting-arena Chibre Noise linked us to a page showing some of his really terrific collages. You really should do yourself a favor and go look. Right here. Sure, I would be more than happy to do the interview. Thank you very, very much for asking. I guess you can write to me directly to tell me how you want to do it, meaning write to me here: dcooperweb@gmail.com. Awesome! I look forward to it, and to seeing your zine. ** Postitbreakup, Hi, Josh! Really good to see you! What are you doing for Halloween? Yeah, that kind of thing, i.e. the slave auction stuff, is what inspired 'The Sluts' to be 'The Sluts'. And it happens, at least in some people imaginations. What's up, pal? ** H, Hi. Oh, well, err, ... I guess it depends on what one means by fresh? Ha ha, I don't know. I don't know if Bert trusted me particularly. I think he was just tired of me going on and on to him about Rimbaud and Baudelaire and so on, while, at the same, choosing to be in university over having wild-flung adventures. (Not that I didn't manage to have some wild flung adventures as a student, mind you, ha ha.) He was very very romantic about poets and poetry. In my case, his advice was completely correct. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Oh, nice, thank you! I'll ... Everyone, here's _Black_Acrylic with a treat/gift to help you have especially great Halloweens. Listen up: 'So yesterday the BBC broadcast an Iggy Pop-hosted radio show that was a back-to-back "Special Halloween Confidential with John Waters". Would be perfectly suited to this 'ere blog's audience, and I post the link in the hope that maybe some DLs can access it.' Have a spooky night and weekend! ** Sypha, Oh, gee, thanks! On their behalf, I mean. Well, let's see about the internal working of oyur favorites ... RapeMeTonight seems to be a really innocent chap. You and he might click. CIRCLES wants someone to cut off his penis and balls. Not sure that's a great match. Stitches is an angry young man. Do you like angry boys? xtremeboy4sale is a no limits slave, so he might be a little on the rough side for you. So, there you go. Congrats on hitting page 100! Have fun on Halloween, whatever you do. ** That's it? Okay. Uh, I thought I would give you everything for Halloween. Take any of it, or take all of it. I really do hope that Halloween does its genius number on you today and tonight. I'll do my best with it over here, and I will see you in the brighter light of day on Monday.
