Heroes
Media and justice collectives like Esperanza, Austin Skill Share, Indymedia, Femme conference organizers! Dorothy Alison! Everyone who runs a small business. People who sometimes don't want to get up and fight but do anyway. Northwest travelers and southeast livers. People with cars or motorcycles to give me. The day when Peg Bundy metaporphises into Kathy Acker, gives her ova to Katherine Hepburn and has a child the size of a stage.
I'm doing my MFA in DIY in NYC, and while Manhattan is a disgusting metropolitan vomit stain on the global tooth rot that is america, brooklyn where I live has some redeeming qualities.
I love riding my bicycle and my motorcycle is my boyfriend. Standards are the best cars to drive cuz you just jam a stick in there and make the fucking thing go. I want a conversion van that runs on vegetable oil with two hands painted on the side that are "ripping" off the paint job to reveal leopard print underneath!
I don't like tv. But I'm not so pure, I'm online every day.
I'm a performance poet & multimedia artist & art director & rabble rouser & the gal who sticks up for strangers.
I've toured electrotext cabaret shows since 2004, and before that I was the weirdo at poetry events. I like to rewrite early 90's rap and to talk about public sex and flagburning and robots and drinking habits. I do not like boring poetry! and I bet you don't either.
I like geniuses, adventurers, perverts, and DIYers. I want to be *this* Damien Lux when I grow up...
Who I'd like to meet: Femmes to organize an event night in brooklyn. Someone with extra saddlebags to give away. People to make beats and collaborate with. People who want to perform and go on tour. People who get awkward conversation. Macho or funny people, other artists, people who will climb into old buildings with me, houseboys, electro musicians, someone to start a band and join the circus with, gentlemen freaks who can switch it up after I've had my fun. Someone to buy me a van and convince me to move into it.
thurs. 10/30 - mon 11/3: these are the dates that i will be gracing brooklyn with my love and smile. i am hoping that a significant chunk of that time will include you, pedicures, cocktails, and cruising. i can't wait to be in your loving arms. xox
ugh. baby girl. ugh. i bet they only got like $60 bucks outta all of us! poor queer girls are not the ones to rob. ps-i have my old nokia phone thats unlocked, you can use it, if it makes your life easier. bad things will happen to them. xoxo
notes for today: - morals are overrated - brown is the new blue (omg that photo, an early 2000 classic) - bloodsports=caj (as in in the short form for 'casual'), pee=notsomuch
