148 NICE TIMES by Lun Chape: www.sweetdango.typepad.com \ & sweetdango@hotmail.com & www.2012ad.com – click on “beta site”, go to “mofo”
Rapport – thinking of this human (and android) communications subject related to one of the workers at the Beat Museum up in North Beach, who – whom? – I had what I took to be a nice conversation with a while back. Thinking of that fine venue due to museum proprietor Jerry Cimino asking to be removed from my e-mail contact list after I’d sent him a link about the word “ephemera”…didn’t take that rebuff too hard, tho’ I did want to connect with him in some manner. Oh well, can’t win ‘em all. Decent place, keeping alive the spirit of the Beatnik “Era” – upcoming this summer, running for a few months, a changing exhibit about the counterculture.
Unconscious human interaction – phrase used in the Wickedpedia entry for “rapport” – which leads to the entry for “unconscious communication” – something to study. See MOFO 0013 at 2012ad.com for links to this and other words here.
Evil – got to the Wickedpedia entry for this, which begins with this nice summation: “the wilfull disregard of the norms of society in ways that cause suffering, destruction, or death.” “Willfull” misspelled, so that may say something…thinking of evil because of a friend and I e-discussing Manhattanization in San Fashionisco – I said that Manhattan was a much older city than S.F. and therefore more evil, potentially evil. Got that idea from the Argento father/daughter flick Mother of Tears, set in Rome, which is said in the movie to be two thousand years old and more and therefore full of a history of evil deeds, layers of them as the city kept building atop previous levels.
Mother of Tears, speaking of which – saw it about a year ago – not generally into horror, but am an Asia Argento fan and was able to get a free copy. Could stand, I guess, to see it again, but there are for sure more than a couple of over-the-top gory scenes, and wouldn’t have been there in the first place if not for Asia’s presence. Same for the hardcore porn flick Pirates 2 – wouldn’t have made an effort to see it were it not for the small but effective turn by Sasha Grey, a performance artist I admire much.
Louis’ – the diner out by Ocean Beach – a San Fashionisco tradition – not long for this world, I believe – friend and his sister went there recently and he wasn’t impressed. But I’m a fan of older S.F. and am not particularly happy seeing landmarks like this place pass. But such is the way of the city, and cities in general, and life, no?
Immediatism – Hakim Bey article – recommended, as is pretty much all by him, under the Bey name and as Peter Lamborn Wilson also. Thought of it related to something in a friend’s e-mail. AK Press surely has a selection of the work, and the Bound Together store on Haight also. And for e-free it looks like much or all of the texts are online.
Merlin’s Herbal Magic Roots Elixir – featured in a new Sunfood e-mail – a hundred and 70 grams, 35 bucks – a blend of 33 wildcrafted and organic herbs and spices, highly alkalizing, highly nutritious. I’d add this to my dietary mix for sure.
Aquarius Records live music event by the Jooklo Duo, from Italy – tonight, the 20th of April, 6pm, at the Valencia store – and they’ll also be at the Café Du Nord. Not gonna be there, probably not even if it was convenient, which it isn’t right now, but I support such occurrences…wanna get to the store’s spoken word section and see what they have in the way of the usual suspects I’m partial to, and new and unusual suspects too.
The S.F. Zine Fest – September 4th and 5th – at the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park – which just hosted the Anarchist Book Fair across two days not long ago. Will probably get a zine together out of this material here and offer it up, what the heck. V. Vale of RE/Search will be a special guest, along with Jesse Reklaw, an admired writer, illustrator, and painter I haven’t heard of before. Am currently negotiating with underground comix artist Cameron Forsley for a drawing to grace the cover of my blog-o-zine – details being narrowed, a deal shall surely soon be struck.
