ASSIGNED LAST, FOR THE KIDS

PROLOGUE APRIL 2007, MEXICO CITY
I was grown on incredible amounts of punk rock and hip hop. I have noticed its recent change in location from late evening to prime time, from ciminalizing participation to economic emancipation. Lately I listened to the Gorillaz Demon Days album on repeat while I cleaned my house and studio. It got in...and cleaned my clock some. I recognized a familiar voice, one with with dynamic points of social interest, a matured voice addressing the larger climate a global perspective.
I watched the tone of pop
become incredibly responsible. I noticed apathy legs crossed and sighing by the fast forward button smoldering on the side of my I-pod.


ACTUALOGUE DECEMBER 2007, NYC
My poster class split into two, creating icons based on the songs from Demon Days.
The two groups worked independent of one another at first making their images.
When together in class, they created a mural inspired from the songs themes.































AND WE ARE OUT . . .
Sassy is not just an out of print teen magazine,
it is also my damned students posturing so well.
Soon some will grow to be designers, professional even.

MIYAYO IN THE REAR VIEW, THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION



ABOVE:
This was our rental truck, a 24 Ft 2005 International.
It was a factory turbo diesel no modifications.
We ran it down to Miami on 200 gallons of fuel,
150 of it was home made B100. No problems.
It was the return trip that made headlines...


RETURN TRIP, MINUS THE BREAKDOWN (MIAMI - NYC):
This was last Tuesday morning, the 11th, sort of like yesterday.
We headed out of town a full tank of Diesel Fuel
and as we ventured the east coast's I-95
and set out to find Bio Diesel spots to refuel.
Made our own map quest using a blackberry,
an antiquated GPS system and an old fashioned map.
There are seemingly hundreds of bio fuel sites listed across America,
but only two along our route. With that said the only two along our route
and they only use B20 or B5 which is great, but not exactly best said,
as an "alternative fuel" more like an eco supplement.


CLICK BELOW FOR MAP:



For those of you who are unfamiliar with the terms B5 or B20
or Bwhat have you,the B stands for Biodiesel and the Number
is the percentage of bio fuels used in the mixture with traditional
petro based diesel.

The first is located in Melbourne, FL ...
We did not need to fill up unfortunately.
But Respect.

Glover Oil Company

The second stop/spot was as they say in the south, a blower.
We were so excited to stop ... we had mapped out our fuel usage so that by the time we hit VA
we would be on empty, or close to it. We pulled up to the pump and proceeded to take all these photos (TK) proud, smiling, as if we unearthed a treasure. I mean, at an Exxon station, bananas.
Here is the address, but get your Watchcard.

Varina Pit Stop
3275 New Market Rd
Richmond, VA 23231
B5 24 hrs, All Major CC accepted 24 hours
We say you MUST have "Watchcard" or "CFN" card.

Contact:

804-795-4213
We say He didn't call back....

Yes WTF. The info says all Credit Cards accepted, but damn man nobody could
help us pay for the smart stuff, they where all "Why can't you use regular Diesel?"
Oh bother! To the tune of Winnie the Pooh



Also on the road you can call Trucker Joe Jobe, a hotline, to help find Biodiesel fueling locations. They locate by city not by route so you have to be the son of a cartographer to know all those town's locations.

DECEMBER ATE SEVEN, YA HEARD

So SCOPE has opened up and my life has been a steady surplus of the drink and coffee since.
Kenya showed up on Thursday morning and when the night hit I fell.
Glass jawed and jaw , jaw, jaw, jk. It has been wonderful, sincerely. So much art positioning and conversation with regards to my Rudolf project, owed to Jacqueline Tarry and Brad McCallum.So much.
With said, an equal mention goes out to Simon Watson for the extra positioning and support. Shit its Saturday and we have just relaxed the last hour and half from Scope's closing missed the Block Party and I am here showered up and listening to the Hot Snakes on Youtube
but would like to post some exploits captured by my amazing talented and supportive wonderful and charismatic Kenya Hunt. Please travel to see all, here at MUSE

I do miss Morgan and Andrei and Hubert even if he still says I do better with out him,
I used their names in a show Simon Watson curated down here in Miami and will fork over twenty percent if the isht sells...
but the truth is I made them look so good they should pay me,
Sushi Samba, yeah man sea bass and sell out I am on the bill.

If you are a big fan of the Hotness or Kunst
as indeed I am
of both please

CMAERA IS A ROOM IN ITALY

Yo blogology
My camera was taken from me, but i got ways of making an image...
last night was bananas, strictly fun. after the scope vip opening we had ventured bradley mccallum and jackie tarry that is, off to an amazing brazilian steak house, no wax.

after our alcohol was absorbed by meat glamour
we went to the beach and saw Iggy Pop and The Stooges perform, and Mike Watt on the bass striking up the band.





Then on to Karen Black
and not the horror queen the rock and horror machine




and recovered in the garden of the house where we are staying



Have you seen him?

SHOES IS TALKING AND THAT SAYS EVERYTHING BOUT THE WALK


Not irate but close
early thisdmorning just before the world awakes some folks just cant stop shining.






Daniel and Basar making the roof/scales work the hell out
before he nearly had me eaten by hungry wolverine dogs






Soap frames, an experiment in time and time.
Such has been proved
Kurt V watch the good fuck over me, son, yo.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT AGAIN


Man, all for the love of some idea. we held the Miami streets down this morning at around 730am
critical mass, maybe more than in NYC these days. Solid. But what you miss here are the ferral dogs that just chased me two blocks from this direct spot, or close to it yo. Daniel, Wes's homeboy, said "just ride at the dogs its a trick they get scared and retreat," fuck that some pit wolves near ate my dropouts off.




For my people, for my band, one project more is all I ask.




Situ Studio pretending to relax.

DAY 01


Arrived and unloaded



Worked on building twenty structures similar to this one for the pavilion


Built 18 of them and then the rain came.
B


The rain left and I stayed at the sight while Sigfus and Wes purchased provisions.
I made soap. I wasnt satisfied witht he color last night.
I had picked up oil in Miami from three different locations, and it was all news to me that the spots i picked up at sell the oil to folks for frying again, yes strange and maybe unhealthy.

And today and all ways Roberto Clemente is a Park and a Pirate and a Person.
Good night Miami.

DRIVING LANE, WOULD GRAIN





Sigfus South of the border with our rig second fueling. It was cold and nobody was selling fireworks at 330am.
From that excursion up on Harmony Farms I was able to produce a quality
150 gallons of fuel. We are still running on half a tank with the truck. We left this past Thursday and arrived on Friday evening in Miami traffic. Lovely place to be stuck.


This aint no machine gun man.
Earlier on that day
Aldo's Resturant in VA
fantastic place for a meal.

MIESTER FUEL, WHEN SOMETHINGS WRONG, WRONG WITH YOU, IT HURTS ME TOO


So before we split to Miami (Me and Situ)
I went in with my mom
on some new meats for the truck,
for sure aged old and learned again
dont fix a good thing...

Completely unrelated but in the same vein, dig
I had a batch of fuel sitting since late September and yes Virginia
glycerine freezes. And heating pads catch fire. And check valves break and other ones break but fall into the deeps of heated grease the bottom of a 55 gallon drum.

Check valve replaced

Different location another valve missing.

Frustrated and exhausted we, up on the farm have farm things to do, the show must go on.


This aint no rock and roll but if you want a pick nic
