Assessments

February 18, 2008
An editing robot, in the purest John Henry steel drivin' man vs. machine sense; owns a steel-plated, dustproof, top secret Pentagon laptop. Never sleeps. Is polite to nuns. Personally knows Larry Harvey.
Doesn't like to talk about it, but served three tours in Nam. "Yeah, I was in the Shit," he told me once. "Now get the fuck out of my face."

Knife fighting expert, I think. Dead aim from fifty feet, they say.

Yellow belt in ancient art of Zumba. Ham radio enthusiast. Master woodworker. Philatelist. Thespian. Avid 17th century film buff. Ombudsman.

Joab is all of these things.

Joab is someone I look forward to sharing the privilege of absurdity with, consistently if not constantly.

*Mr. Freedom's cos... read more

"Isis" (Bob Dylan): Maybe 5 or 6 times in the past 20 years I offhandedly heard a Dylan song that would end up defining my life for some period of time. He's that good to me. Isis was the latest, which I heard maybe 3 years ago walking around 5 AM in Alexandria. The story's astounding, even though it doesn't make a lick of sense.

"Wilder than Her (Dar Williams): I love that a guy sang this about a girl. I love how Dar sung it w/o changing the pronouns.

"TKO" (Le Tigre): 22-year old dyk... read more

You know what I love about burners? The way how the first time you hear of something going wrong is by them saying NOTHING went wrong and everything went fine. They got this "No discord-here, please move along," shit down!!!*

Case in point, the local-for-me regional Burning List was all a'buzz not only about PDF, the regional burn held last weekend, but also of a second, new, burn related event in the area held that very same weekend, called Wickerman. Wickerman was not an official regiona... read more
