i call it 'knowing that you've been bad, is the worse feeling i've ever had'... artwork by ~ the el-jourBAGy line ~

the bottom of my NEW shoes by Simple have on the heel <-- PAST and on the bottom of the toe --> FUTURE. from 5 to 6 monday thru fridays, the benson hotel hosts a complimentary wine tasting. j, k, m, j and i all tried from 2 bottles from italy and two from the sonoma valley. i inadvertenly gave jan the wrong bank name -- its albina community bank not umpaqua bank -- and finally we were all together ready to take on the following galleries: blackfish gallery, elizabeth leach gallery (my favorite: chris bruch was on display -- artwork entitled remains to be seen), PDX contemporary art (artwork based on 2 years of controlled breathing and creating curvilinear dimensions), onward to ogle, pulliam deffenbaugh (the art of traffication -- an invented word meaning a process of systematic breakdown that occurs along human lines of order), sugar gallery (polaroids on display by m.j. demeo & yoni kifle). the artwork in one of the last galleries disturbed me so badly i had to exit prematurely. you'll have to ask me what it was that gave me the creeps -- had to do with human mutilation. and dialogue re: the worlds' largest hotdog -- seen today, no less.

natalie,
was it life changing?
is it edible?
are people eating it?
did you eat any?
are there condiments?
that is too weird...

answers to the m!

not life changing

it was on display -- 100 footer
people are gawking at it like its some kind of trophy
i did not partake in any hotdog feasting
there were condiments
and it was weird

I must say, it’s a little nauseating how the world's largest weiner comment sprouts immediately from the one about human mutilation -- with no breather in between! And pretty please could you answer the questions, rather than leaving us hanging, wondering if people are down there gorging on pork byproducts or if it’s just a giant wax notdog?
