i gotta tell everyone how wonderful and gifted he was and share what it was like to know him with people who never got a chance to meet him

Dashiell was such an inspiration to me of how to live in the world
I want to share the things he taught me with others

this past Thursday i went to San Francisco so i could hang out wiht one of my other life coaches, Barry McGee

i need a little Barry in my life every few years to remind me “what it’s all for”

i hope everyone has a Barry in their lives too!
he is some kind of angel person
he has got the magic in him!

haha and i wanted this guy to meet him too so he had to come with me!

the man Jeffrey Deitch!
this was a big success for him as well
Barry was an artist he discovered back in the 90s and now he is having his mid career survey!

jeffrey rules it was so nice to see him too

wrote a great op-ed about it in case any publication cares to print the OTHER side of the MOCA story

fuck em anyway
LA is so self consciously paranoid about not seeming superficial (i wonder why!) that it will never understand jeffrey and im not sure i wanna even bother to explain it to them

interestingly enough James Franco came into the gallery last week and we talked about exactly that
smart dude that James Franco

this is some serious fucking awesome artwork btw but don’t think everyone will get why
and that is ok too

“Let them call it mischief: When it is past and prospered t’will be virtue”

“mischief itself is merely an attempt to escape from the dreary vacuum of idleness.”

“I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want – but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course.” -Siouxsie Sioux

“A learned woman is thought to be a comet, that bodes mischief whenever it appears.”
ooh that is a weird one

“You wait on nature’s mischief! come, thick night”
