Teenage Idol
i have a piece forthcoming in GUSTAF magazine, which is non-profit and based in oslo, norway.
this is happening in fayetteville. i live 40 minutes away and have never been to a reading of any kind. now that this somewhat prestigious and free event happens in proximity, i have to be gone.
***
tour dates:
i will be in los angeles the first weekend of october. i hope something good happens. i am trying to be positive. i will also be in new york at the end of the month. as for any of the other dates posted: they've all been cancelled. it seems there was a miscommunication and the tour got overbooked. we will now do something else. i don't know. we have been praciticing this week in my old garage/apartment and the practice space is cozy and we have to play tetris just to get around the room. there is good energy there and we are intentionally filling the space with good things and love. the live shows i think will be constructed around the idea of a play fort where a white canopy will be stretched over us on chairs or something. making music together seems fitting when i get the real sense that we are on an super-evolved playdate.

[Ricky Nelson - "Teenage Idol"]
yesterday i worked 11 hours. it kept my mind busy. i came home and drank beer on the terrace in a sleeping bag. i felt like a little glowworm. i kept talking and when i was finished i was very hot in my sleeping bag. i was drunk. i went to sleep.
it is 2 o'clock in the afternoon. i am drinking a beer. my head is resting on the wall as i type this. the window is open. i am listening to this song. i think, ricky nelson probably invented emo.
last night a woman wanted a piece of chocolate cake. i forgot about her. there were many orders. i caught a glimpse of her in the next room staring at an empty place on her table where the cake was supposed to be. she hated me completely with her eyes. i felt very sad for the human race.
'i travel around/from town to lonely town' and then when he says 'i guess i'll always be just a rolling stone', and there's that change from A minor to E minor it makes me drink longer from the beer and close my eyes. the window makes sounds.
i have to go back to work now. i am working 12 hours today. i feel like i am working a factory job. i wonder what will happen today.
GUSTAF is not-for-profit but if we by any chance happen to make profit, it will be forwarded to charity. you can cast a vote for where you want the profit to be forwarded by sending me an email with your suggestion.****

i liked that. what you wrote.
i can't wait to sneak up on you in los angeles and thrown a warm beverage where your crotch is and then run away.
i am sorry i didn't reply to you on gchat, i was in a huge hurry. i felt like a 'complete bastard'.
i am going to bring a sleeping bag to the pub tomorrow and drink beer in my sleeping bag. i am in love with the idea. so cozy.
