C. JACOBSEN AT JACK HANLEY

"this is how we see in the dark" by city center
















it wasn't until i got to colter's pencil drawings that i realized we had one of his nude pieces up on our bathroom door in sf. i was really enjoying all the pairs he had collected and how they were presented, but the addition of his epic pencil drawings makes it a real rad show. here's a book he made with a friend.

CONTAIN AT ANONYMOUS GALLERY




found out about this show right when it was opening. it's good and you should go look. it's on rivington between chrystie and bowery. maya hayuk was real kind and gave my sister and i a painting to share. she made it in the dark (in a storage container) that she invitied all sorts of folks to jam out in. no one knew who else was in there shredding because it was so dark. sweet solos became annonymous whilst inspiring a series of paintings maya made for the show. pretty rad. it is the same size as this one d. benzler sent me last year. except benzler's scanned a little bigger making it not the same size here now. they look nice next to each other.

i have google alerts & a kid called me clown in this guy's myspace comments. i haven't looked at a myspace account that wasn't a band in a real long time. 5 years maybe. i'm turning 30 on the 1st. maybe it's time to shut this thing down and quit jocking art shows and indie rock on-line. nic's mix he made back in july won him an interview in his hometown rag. here's a song mirah played last night. i have a lot of memories associated with it. the best was showing up to play a house party in santa rosa and walking into a room with everyone sitting down and sarah's crush performing a real elaborate shadow puppet performance to it. i had put it on a mix tape for sarah when she was at mill's and it had made it up there and i miss mixtapes and cd's for that. i need to look up who boned out on our september mix and who's about to bone out on october. the mix trade is dying. this is tons of words.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES (QUOTE)

you remember a certain famous occasion when i was more drunk than-than usual? ...i remember it too. the curse of those occasions is heavy upon me, for i always remember them. i hope it may be taken into account one day, when all days are at an end for me! don't be alarmed; i am not going to preach:
