Still here
May 23, 2008
Well, the worms haven’t killed me yet.
Worked on some financing issues yesterday. Also tried to get ready to go to Chicago this afternoon. I’m meeting with Phil and Libby and attending Stel’s wedding tomorrow. I also made some stuff for the Forever What? installation in SF in one week.
In the afternoon I took a break and sat down to educate myself. I watched the Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One DVD docu feature on Wm Graves. Then I watched Symbio 2 1/2. Then The Horrors of Malformed Men and The Final Programme. These were loaned to me on VHS by the incredible Bonnie Banks. Symbio I watched on Skye’s advice. Simply fabulous. Mix that with F for Fake, and we’re starting to get close to what I envision we might get from Disembody. Though what I’m shooting for is that combination slammed face first into a combination of The Passion of Joan of Arc and The Fifth Element. That’s a bastard child I couldn’t help falling in love with.
One thing I find unfortunate is how few of Wm. Greaves other films are available, affordably, on DVD.
