Cheap Marketing devices

Im here to complain, Again. This time its what I saw at the local weekly GREENMARKET. There was a corporate art project. I think that in itself sounds kind of WACKED, but I'll tell you more. Some of you may know that I am interested in "participatory" art works. And these days, this kind of thing is all of the rage in art worlds. ANyway there is a new american apparel kind of of rip off company. I can't even find them online, but they looked young and hip. and they have this project where you are supposed to write something on a sticker, then they stick the sticker on a barrell and send the the barrell to BP (british PeRROLeum). Its supposed to be a message. BUT THIS IS what I have to say.

How EASY is it to get people to "Participate" in this so called political action, when you are taking aim at SUCH an easy target,- ULTRA liberal williamsburg AT THE FREAKING Greenmarket. Wow folks, people are really "Feeling" your awesome corporate ethics that you have aligned to so easily build consensus. PLUS they ask for you email, OF COURSE you are going to be getting Stupid ass updates about this Waste of Paper, stupid project. WHY not do somehting useful instead of trying to make some dumb symbol that we all allready agree on and then stealing it and putting your name on it and trying to take credit for being and activist. CHUUMP moves

Skills of the Cats or Of the Catskills

REcently (EARLIER THIS WEEK!!! :) Me and woman went up to upstate. Two articles I would like to mention breifly: 1 At a very large waterfall that was TREACHEROUS and PRECAROIUS to climb and not legally recommended, but commonly attempted we split ways. I went to quest up to the top of the Dangerous and slippery deadly rock face, and Woman stayed. So I reached the top with the help advice of some locals who told me a good route behind the waterfall. I got up to the top of the cliff waterfall and Made EYE CONTACT with my partner. We waved. It was cool. Then I signalled to her "OK I AM COMING DOWN NOW" and this was interpreted as "COME UP HERE IT IS BEAUTIFUL". So that was where the confusions started. I made my way down and after a scary journey. She was gone. WHAT?!?!?!?! where was she. I asked all the people around and learned that she had gone up. A few minutes later my mind was blown when some people pointed her out at the opposite side of the cliff on the waterfall. It was like a Strange Dream I tell you. Luckily the local heros guided her down the mountain via a safe route. Apparently she scrambled up the rock face as fast as anyone ever had on the way up.

The other story is we saw a bear. not much explanation needed. It was a cub and during the day on a hike!
