p.s. Hey. Kind of a random slideshow this time. There are only so many ways to show you roughly the same things without getting redundant, I guess. Anyway, there'll be one last 'TIHYWD' slideshow re: the premiere in the next couple of weeks, and it'll probably be as much about the festival as it is about our thing. Like I said yesterday, I have a train back Paris this morning, so I'll be zooming. ** Renaud Cerqueux, Hey, Renaud! Nice to see you. Depressing and magnetic is a really good way to describe Brest in my limited experience, yeah. Oh, it would have been cool for you to come see a rehearsal, but we finished the rehearsals yesterday. Next stop is the premiere in Avignon on the 8th. If we do any reworking of the piece after the Festival d'Avignon, you'd be most welcome. I guess I'll let you know if we do somehow? Thanks for the interest, and thanks for being here. Take care. ** Kate Zambreno, Hi, Kate Zambreno! Welcome! I'd love a copy of your novel. If you see this, you can send it to me here: Dennis Cooper c/o Centre International des Recollets, 150 rue du Faubourg St. Martin, 75010 Paris, France. Thanks a lot for the kind offer. ** Killer Luka, I think I saw your email/Day sitting in my mailbox this morning as I started chugalugging my coffee. Assuming my eyes didn't deceive me, cool! Thanks! ** Dogboy, Hey. Maybe I should ask everybody here to make a slave profile for themselves and do a post of them. Assuming people didn't just make up stuff and turn it into a goof, it might be really interesting. Oh, you so deserve them, man. The words, I mean. Thanks for the late edit. You're a guy after my own heart. I'd polish this p.s. for days before I let it free, if I could. ** Bernard Welt, Donald would have been 60 yesterday? That is intense. I forgot that he was a little older than me. Strange. Very good question about the old US of A. ** Oscar B, HauteGaunt seems to have ruled the Day yesterday if anyone did. Neck in neck with Comatose, I guess. Interesting. I can never tell who'll stand out particularly. I am so dreading the heat back there in our hometown. Oh, well. I'll call you when I get back so we can do the right thing for Mikey whatever that thing may be. ** 'Stoopid Slapped Puppies', Hi, Nick! Rehearsals ended on a positive note. We have some last fine tuning to do in Avignon during the three or four days pre-premiere, but it's almost there. So, I guess I'm pleased, but we're all really beat. It doesn't look like it was non-stop, intense, and exhausting in the pix, but yikes. Anyway, blah blah. Feel the love. ** Changeling, Hey. Oh, shit, sorry, I saw your question yesterday but my brain somehow plugged up the channel to my fingertips. Anyway, the format. Well, probably the easiest way is to send me the post's text in a Word doc or pasted into the body of an email or some other way like that. In the text, just indicate where any images you're using should be placed in the post -- like 'uuu.jpg goes here', or whatever -- and send the images themselves as attachments. If you're using videos, you can just put either a link to them or the embedding codes in the spots in the text/post where you want them to be. I'll assemble the day on my end. Of course if you want to format the whole thing into the proper codes and stuff in advance, that's fine too. Does that make sense? It's pretty simple and straight forward in other words. If that isn't clear, just ask me anything, and I'll tell you tomorrow when I'm more coffeed and less on the run. Thanks a lot, man! ** David Ehrenstein, Need to see 'Splice' then, clearly. ** Pilgarlic, Yeah, 'worming' never seemed to exceed the realms of the S/M solicitation sites and the conversations of those of us who look around there. At least in the version of worming I came across, the genitals mostly weren't removed. I think having a slave who has them but no way to play with them was part of the erotic charge for the wormers. Burnt umber, ha ha, I have to agree with you. ** David, I never keep any record or memory of where the slaves are located. I'm starting to put together the next one -- they are labor intensive things if it sounds like I'm jumping the gun -- and if I come across him again, I'll let you know his locale. ** Peter, Hey, welcome to here, Peter. Yeah, I don't know how I juggle all this stuff either, to be honest. If I was an X-Man, I guess juggling would be my specialty. For the slave posts, there are about, oh, twelve or so sites I scour every month. If I wasn't rushing this morning, I'd hunt down some links for you. Ask me again in a day or two, if you want. The most fruitful one is Recon, which is a consolidation of a bunch of different fetish/ hook-up sites. Even there, finding the interesting sounding/looking slaves is pretty labor intensive. There's maybe one good one for every fifty or sixty average ones. Anyway, yeah, Recon is decent starting place at least. Thanks, take care, and please hang out here anytime. ** Stan_cz, I know almost squat about job hunting in LA. The LA Times maybe? Everyone, anyone out there in or from LA have any ideas about where one would look for a job in the city either online or on paper? If so, please say so and help out brother Stan. Thanks. ** Bill, Awesome if any of those text squibs pan out in your work, obviously. ** Heliotrope, Mm, I'm feeling a little more hopeful re: the response to 'TIHYWD' after yesterday. We hit a decent mark, I think. One week from today, I'll either be clinking glasses or walking around Avignon in dark glasses and a fake mustache. Love ya, bud. ** Sypha, Thanks for making your employer order my book, man. 'Pale Fire' is a surpriser, yep. ** Joseph, Heavy finger crossing on my end re: the bookstore job. Let me know. And, yeah, any old time on the post. My greed is firmly in place. The Arte thing will run on TV here on July 10th, we're told. I'll try to find out if it'll be on their site. I think so, but probably only for a few days. ** Steevee, Glad your doctor results weren't so bad. Interesting about the script revising. Is the script due straight away? I always love it when scenes are set in record stores. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hey. No, I've barely seen even any online reports and pix from the Paris shows so far. No time, but Yury's keeping way up with that, and I'll use your link and others when I get home. Word I've heard was thumbs up on Gautier's show, of all things. The only show I've seen evidence from myself is Rick Owens, and I thought it looked pretty good. Thanks! ** L@rstonovich, Camping, nice. Oh, holy shit, yeah! Jesus Christ! Classic GbV line-up reunion! Can it truly be? I need to query Jim Greer about this. I mean, dude, no mountain will not be moved to get me into that show, if it's really true. Holy fucking shit! ** Thomas, Wow, right? Un-fucking-believable! I wonder if it's everyone. Even Greg Demos? I'm so there. Las Vegas, what a weird, kind of funny but okay in some way site for that Matador show. Classic GbV line-up, whoa! ** Little foal, Man, that's some unhappiness there. Of course I'm a zillion percent with you on the demonization of asylum seekers, benefits seekers, etc. Your comment wasn't meh at all. It was a rush. The good kind of rush, not the kind I'm in this AM. ** Math, Hey. Totally, yeah, on the great timing. I hadn't thought about that. Getting out of NYC around now and soon was the golden chalice when I lived there. The time and the only time you wished you had good friends in the Hamptons. Cool! Talk to you better soon, M. ** JW Veldhoen, Hey. Ah, my famous chest punch, yes. Our very own Bernard missed seeing it happen by mere minutes. The only time in my life that I can remember wanting someone so badly that when his flirtation turned out to be a hollow game, I lost my temper. And then he did it again, and that time I wrote a book about him instead. And then he let me fuck him. And then he died, not from anything I did. I abhor nostalgia and think tomorrow is the good old days, but NYC was a more civilized place when Times Square was a place you snuck into. Yeah, what you said about photography, etc. makes total sense to me, even if I don't have the time and space to prove it at the moment. ** Postitbreakup, Hey. Loved it. I'll be finally writing back to you from Paris. Don't write anymore ... phooey. You will. You are. You're just not adding the typing part to the mix at the moment. Uh, good question about what attracts us. Some early tempting figure who stamped our imaginations? Don't know. Writing about such things is a good way to try to figure it out, btw. I'll check that link and thing I should a Day about when I'm home again and homey. Thanks! ** Misanthrope, No 'SiH' reviews yet that I know of. Who knows if it'll get any. Not sure at all how much that book is going to crease much of anything or anyone. If they do a second printing of the book -- ha ha -- I'll get those blurbs on the cover somehow. Really, foul? I thought they were quite a fetching lot, but then I love the first one's hairdo. In fact, I think I'll write a poem about his hair on the train today that people will be quoting forever and ever. ** Bollo, Hey, man! Good to see you. I've wondering where and how you were/are. Working on art, that's an excellent filling in of the blank for me. Things seem okay with 'TIHYWD'. We'll know in a week. Take care, J. ** Colin, Hi, Colin! I know, such a nice parting line, right? Good rhythm and dynamics, no? Oh, be completely assured that a Day on Nestor Perlongher would be amazingly welcome. I don't know his work at all, which of course only adds to my wish to welcome such a post. Thanks for that, Colin. How was the reading? Or has it happened yet? ** Okay, a quick shower, shove some cheese or something my mouth, zip my backpack shut, walk five minutes to the train station, get on, read magazines, wait for opportunities to smoke, clack clack clack, get back to Paris, sweat in the heat, get home, shower again, celebrate Kiddiepunk's birthday, sleep, wake up, see you again like in 'Helter Skelter'. That's my prediction. See you once I do.
