Speaking of art, I want to come and see yours one of these days. How much of my annual salary would it cost to own a piece? While I love what you do with the cut paper medium, I am oddly drawn to the one titled “Newgate” that is on your personal website, plus the ones that specifically grapple with issues of violence and Mormonism. You can take the girl out of Utah, but…

Thanks for the endorsement and inclusion in a very cool group.

hickville to . . . Hickville . . . : )

No I’m kidding, I know some people from St. Louis, I’ve actually heard very good things about it. Lots of young people, good urban renewal. Go over and say hi to Paul Ha at your new(ish) Contemporary Art Center. That place seems to be happening.

Very cool, look us all up when you pass through “these parts” I told Bry last night you’re our kind of people.

Anyhoo, so sorry to comandeer the comments by catching up with old friends and making new ones. Oh, and anonymity is not a high priority for me here. But thanks for thinking about that!

Lane, we DID have some good times! (Burned a few brain cells, too, so I don’t think you were all that “good” a Mormon back then, but you were definitely nice, and very amusing, not to mention having both a car and a drivers’ license when I was still only 15.)

Funnily enough, I just in the past few weeks reconnected with Ted B. after more than a decade and half. He’s been up to some cool shit, traveling the world, publishing books, and has just gotten engaged and relocated to a place in S’ern Utah that I think would surprise you. (Google him: you’ll find his writings if you do a search for his name in the journal Best Friends.) I can pass along contact info if you email me. kim.(last name)atgmaildotcom. Or, find me on the departmental website at Wash U in StLoo. BTW: Adriana also should have my email address because I have emailed her a few times about food-related issues on her very awesome blog.

Poser, indeed! I’ve lived in MO almost as long as I lived in Ogden, my friend. (Not that I’m bragging that I escaped hickville.)

wow, great writing dave

good night

cool
