Good Luck

Right now its pouring rain outside. As in the intensity it does in Tofino. But It has been raining non-stop for the past 12 hours. Its sheet rain so therefore a permanent shower. I dont really mind.

Today I passed on really good luck. I went into a shop that had some exposition with Tara McPherson (lowbrow artist) a month ago.And swipped up a print of heres which was signed. Its a small print but Im going to frame it. Tara McPherson is a great painter and a pretty renound female artist. I also bought my second Gary Baseman book, as well. And to my luck he signed it too. So now I have two more collectible artist pieces. I collect other peoples art. Its more interesting.

Tonight I went to a fabulous show. CHICAGO! I love musicals. It was my second ( I went to a broadway show back in NYC). Chicago is the greatest. A little Vaudeville, A little Burlesque, A dash of scandal and a ton of strong voices. The costumes were great. I loved the way they presented and portrayed their voices. It was cool that Roxy Hart, for the first time to my knowledge, was played by a black chick. And then to my surprise it happened to be Michelle Williams of Destiny Child. But I personnaly like Thelma the best, she had attitude and she wasnt a nice woman. The stage was presented in a 1920s fashion and had a live orchestra in the background. They were very good and complemented the voices but with force and strength. The storyline was pretty good. It was smart ans sassy. I was always hit by surprise. It was fun to recognize the songs frome the burlesque modeling sessions at Dr Sketchys.

On another note, before my limited time runs out here, I had a conversation with a young def man. It was real fun and we understood eachother. I also sat next to a boy on the train to London who was also reading Into the Wild, side by side and same edition.
