It's been a long time

Sry, I went through and incredibly uncreative writing period - I did make some sculptures though, but I broke my camera unfortunately so you can't see them yet. Good news, the camera is under warranty, bad news, I can't find the warranty (I'll figure it out, no worries)

................................................................................

Have you ever wanted to make a giant toothpick sculpture (Yeah, I know, me too - I used to make miniature ones as a kid with a hot glue gun.) Unfortunately I have to inform you that someone else has beaten us to it:


Not only this big, but THIS BIG:


This was a sculpture/art-installation at Burning Man a few years back, which brings me to what I really want to talk about. Where is Burning Woman? I've always wanted to go to burning man and watch all the naked hippies run around trying to find some spiritual awakening on shrooms while I built a giant wooden sculpture but I've never had the cash nor time, ohh well. Well, here is my proposal - why don't we start the Burning Woman festival and host it somewhere in White Sands (permit pending) and make it better, bigger, larger, more artistic, more burning, more humongous, cacophonous, spiritually challenging, consumer friendly (i.e. sell beer/smokes/and all things addictive), dangerous, loud, music friendly, and one where everyone works together to make one giant piece of "art" that can be seen from space! Well, it's either this or someone needs to take me to Burning Man this year and bring A LOT of wood and nails.

P.S. Did you know that Donnie Darko was written and directed by a 26 year old (Luckyeee, even though he didn't make any money from it)?
