they also sold herpes. stuffed herpes. i gave a friend/ex-girlfriend the same kind of herpes as a present once.
interesting place.
after coffee and dildos, we sped to jeffrey's toys for a new nerf gun and plenty of backup ammo. i wasn't joking about the battle happening thursday and needed to be sure i was strapped for anything.
we ate some cheap tacos and headed home before making our way to the artists in residence trash-art show. naturally, we ran into a bit of chaos at our apartment-- mostly regarding bad news delivered by the postal service-- but that's an entirely different story.
i have to say, the art show had a great attendance but a horrible location. we were there the moment it opened and made our rounds quickly. but after about ten minutes, the place was crowded beyond what i'm sure the fire marshall would approve of. it got to the point where we were just crammed in a corner with nowhere to move. naturally, i got few pictures.
other than that, the pieces were pretty great. i could've stood to see more than they had on display, but it was still worth the visit.
i dug these trash dresses made from a mixture of beer caps, finely woven caution tape and recycled computer wires-- they reminded me of my high school 3d art teacher. her claim to fame was constantly being involved in a lawsuit with mars co. because she'd made these gowns and tuxedos out of candy wrappers.
the coolest thing, though, was seeing nemo gould's tiny piece. you might remember me mentioning this trash-artist in the past. i can't say i formally met mr. gould, but i did stand in line in front of him while waiting for complementary alcohol.
nemo gould's work is the little wheeled robot with antlers and i recommend you all take some time to check out his portfolio.anyway, my claustrophobia and overly puffy jacket called the viewing to a quick end and we all headed back up the hill. but again, it was well-worth seeing.
now, i just need to schedule a tour of the dump.
