begging
yesterday, with my gas tank below "e"
,
i did not wish to reenact the 4 in the morning
mommy call-outagas!help
to the gas station,
targets mercedesman
who claims to be broke from filling his gas up
a nice lady gave me 2 dollars
,nervously laughing
,bewildered by the credit card drawing exchange
the plan had been to beg at the roswell art round table
but, exhaustion had sealed my lips.

i'ma lovin' the world of atlanta bloggers!
keep discovering new art bloggers out there.
On Friday, I met Jeremy from GhostmapMicrowave and Ben from Proclaimitlost. While Ben didn't seem to like my work, I still felt a happy virtual kinship with them.

friday night after
performance
crying
declaration in head:
never again will i bother performing
never never never.it is for me only, right?
why did i give so much attention to the audience, when they did not give me any?
all the gas and time i spent, was for me only. !remember this!
still, why did i hope that the people would offer more appreciation for sharing with them?
this is a shame-laden post.
i should coat this in milkey plastic [so you can not read it].
-----------------------------------------------------------------
the appreciation that i had desired was financial.

-oh, i shouldn't have told you that!
worn out from last week/end's activities
truebadoor = muffled truth
formulas ARE necessary structures for art.
ie: Stan's work make seem errant, but he uses a formulaic approach to everything he does.
1, 2
that comma above above is meant to be there.
very deliberate!

after
I should have scheduled social hour last night. Instead, I wanted to perform the whole time, and my friends wanted to greet me.
I met Camille Love, who was very sweet, and she bought a drawing [yeah!].
NOw, I have to hurry and get ready to play with Nisa in the Inman Park festival parade--Chinese Frankenstein fun!

trou·ba·dour
\'trü-b?-?do?r, -?du?r\
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Old Occitan trobador, from trobar to compose, from
Vulgar Latin *tropare, from Latin tropus trope
Date: circa 1741
1 : one of a class of lyric poets and poet-musicians often of knightly rank
who flourished from the 11th to the end of the 13th century chiefly in the
south of France and the north of Italy and whose major theme was courtly
love - compare trouvère 2 : a singer especially of folk songs
==========================================================
I hope to perform a healing ritual for myself and others.

ALLISON RENTZ is a metro-Atlanta artist who works in installation,
performance, drawing, and multimedia. She is interested in how humans
interact with each other, and with the environment.
Allison's art has been presented in Atlanta, Athens, GA, France, Italy,
Spain, Chicago, Lexington, KY, Texas, NY, and on the Web. Noted projects
include "c o n t a i n i n g = h a t e," a performance installation at the
Atlanta Contemporary Art Center as part of "Bring it on! A series of solo
positions."
Allison is the dictator of her own country--artempeerealism--where art is
the law, and the law is art. She has been enjoying experimenting with music
in the bands "Chinese Frankenstein" and "ASSTOW." Collaboration and drawing
have become big parts of her recent artistic practice.

//...I work for harmony...//
An artist's work reflects experience...

Creating effects the environment......
//...I reuse my materials whenever possible...//
//...Plastic is an abundant component of my work...//
//...My performance installations often include parts from previous
works...//
//...Installations are site-specific...//

Love, devotion, effort could only pour into her, a jug without a bottom, and then pour out, leaving no trace. She deserved nothing, was owed nothing, could not really be loved, and therefore could not be missed. So she had gone.
