Sometimes I get worried about the Dada Motel show, even though it's still so new and unformed that there's nothing to worry about yet. It's like when I worry that my kid is going to grow up to be selfish punk who picks on the elderly even though I'm not pregnant and have no desire to breed. School starts up again on Mon. I'm only taking two classes, but I throw myself into school like an extreme athlete with no regard for my physical health. I'll be able to do it all though; I always do. Besides, I don't care if people see me as successful - I just hope they see me as thin.

So my unfounded worries about the Dada Motel show. I worry about the artists being too spread out. I imagine a really talented artist who I coerced into coughing up $150 he doesn't have, sitting in a motel room, alone with his art, while the viewing public parties on the East end of 4th street because that's where the bars are. On that note, I encourage visual artists to exhibit in more than one motel (share rooms with others - $25 here, $25 there) so that their work will be seen by more than one group of people. I also worry that motels will not cooperate, but I know of at least one motel that is about it, so others must be willing too. The question comes up, "what incentive do the motels have to rent to us?" Money. Cooperating motels stand to make a good deal of money. I walked west 4th St. yesterday, and every motel I saw had a vacancy sign. I mean, if this thing gets big enough, we could fill up almost every available motel room in Reno. And I do think that having the festivities spread out will make it more palatable, no one motel will have to endure all of Reno's flavor in one sitting. Sometimes I worry that nobody will want to participate. Everyone will assume that someone else will do it, and in the end there won't really be a show. But that's not fair to the work ethic of the artists I've spoken with. Maybe I'm just afraid that I won't do anything, that nobody will visit my room, and that if they do they'll be underwhelmed. Yeah, that seems more like my ride.
