(Untitled)- December 28, 2003 Before Quin left on his hiatus this afternoon, he asked us to announce our forthcoming book, Dildos in America: a Short history of the American Pornucopia. In this book, we will have lovely watercolor paintings of dildos with historical narrative, notes and so on. We have already done approximately four hours of research . . . we just started after all. And have found that this promises to be quite a valuable topic indeed. Although there is a plethora of information online which would, and.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/27.html#a310 (Untitled)- December 27, 2003 Here is a passage from a book, old now, first published in 1976, by Annabelle Melzer. The book is called DADA AND SURREALIST PERFORMANCE. It is now available from Johns Hopkins University Press. Interestingly, Ms. Melzer is now teaching in Isreal. We wonder how she finds all of the current war situations going on from the perspective of her research on dada. At any rate, here is a lengthy passage which we will type out from her book. As a preface, we will just let you know that the...http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/27.html#a309 (Untitled)- December 26, 2003 We pause in our narrative to discuss a once and future topic. Once and future because it supplies background information to all the works of Quin, and because it will be the next great thingamagig in the series of performance art which is and has been his life. This next great thingamagig is and will be: The dada hootenanny. Readers are probably all already aha-ing on this holy of holy days--the culmination to the great holidays of consumption--when all have completed the required religious.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/25.html#a308 (Untitled)- December 18, 2003 It was a handbill inviting all sharecroppers, day laborers and tenant farmers to a meeting with Mr. H.L. Mitchell, at Labor Hall in Jonesboro about a month back. Mitchell, it said was Secretary of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union and would speak on the topic of fare living conditions and wages for all.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/18.html#a307 (Untitled)- December 18, 2003 The sun had shifted over to the east side of the house so that the front room was nice and cool. Dishes were washed, Purity was out back shelling peas for supper. There was plenty of ham left, and potatoes. The greens wouldn't take long to boil up and they could have corn on the cob and hot rolls and that pecan pie in there. They had been lucky to get this piece of land with the tree on it. Time enough to sit a while before supper with the men out and taking Clem..http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/18.html#a306 (Untitled)- December 18, 2003 Jim Allen cleared his throat. He should have known better than to set foot in this house. Oscar never had gotten over him knowing Clio for so long. "Anyways, I don't know but we may have some trouble in Arkansas before this thing is over. Sometimes it seems to me Mr. Roosevelt is trying to kill cotton farming in the South." "Teacher said Arkansas has the largest cotton production in the world," Clem quoted coming out of his bib a little. "Surprised the boy can remember that so.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/18.html#a305 (Untitled)- December 18, 2003 Cassie sat on the floor of the sleeping porch on an old patchwork quilt. Colors and shapes without names looked up at her. That the quilt was one of three that her grandmother had worked for Clio for her wedding, she did not know. Nor that it had been a place keeper for four other small damp packages of flesh like hers. She knew soft, and somewhere in her mind a word was forming for the smell of the quilt. Her own smell mixed with the smell of Clio's lye scrubbed...http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/18.html#a304 (Untitled)- December 17, 2003 The Editor takes a moment to interrupt the narrative and remind our dear readers of Quin's promised offering on ebay. The iconic portrait of Leo Castelli. We believe that Quin wrote the biography that appears there himself and so we know our readers will want to peruse it. To view Quin's offering and biography, simply go to ebay.com, search by Quin Withey, and there you will be. We might just also note that any funds received from a sale will go to help support The Luna Azul Foundation, a.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/17.html#a303 (Untitled)- December 17, 2003 "Oscar, O.T," Jim Allen pulled off his hat. Well the wind would have had it off in a minute. O.T. nodded. Oscar just stood and waited. "Sorry to come round bothering you right at lunchtime." "Figure it was the only time you could find us all at home," Oscar said, then waited again then: "Must have something on your mind, I reckon." When Jim Allen still didn't say anything, O.T. tried. "Must be something pretty important. to get you away from Miss Eulane's...http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/17.html#a302 (Untitled)- December 15, 2003 Quin as Avatar.http://radio.weblogs.com/0123578/2003/12/15.html#a301 |
