2nd Life Self-Portrait
Being an artist doesn’t take much, just everything you got. Which means, of course, that as the process is giving you life, it is also bringing you closer to death. But it’s no big deal. They are one in the same and cannot be avoided or denied. So when I totally embrace this process, this life/death, and abandon myself to it, I transcend all this meaningless gibberish and hang out with the gods. It seems to me that that is worth the price of admission.

My New David Rees Technique Is On

If you didn’t go see the great David Rees at REDCAT Theatre this past Saturday, then you are a Fool.

I didn’t see David Rees at REDCAT this weekend. And I’m a Fool. So there you go. Actually, if you didn’t see David this weekend I think you may be, in fact, me. To level with you…I fully believe you are me, but we must be scientific about these things. We must be rigorous. So…

If:

you = One who didn’t see David Rees at RedCat

and:

One who didn’t see David Rees at RedCat = A Fool

and:

Neal = One who didn’t see David Rees at RedCat; or Neal = A Fool

then:

you = Neal

And I can’t speak for those who live in Austin and haven’t yet seen the stageshow based on Rees’s's Nobel Prize-worthy “Get Your War On”, but I’m assuming, if you are one of them there, and you ain’t seen it, then you’re a Fool too. And so, also, probably, me as well. The show runs till February…oops…11th. So if you haven’t seen it yet, sorry. Guess what? You’re a fool – i.e., me.

But us we in Los Angeles have a last chance to redeem ourselves, for God is merciful and kind, and USC has a renowned journalism school.

TONIGHT, David Rees will APPEAR at the University of Southern California, Waite Phillips Hall, RM B28, 6:30PM.

Will I be there?

You can bet your neckbone I won’t be. No, sir. For I am a Fool, you see. And I have a date with friends to catch a screening of “Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room” (2005). But you should go, definitely. And if you go, then me will go too, for – as we have established – you are me. And if you do go, you may perhaps expunge your Fool-ishness and so, no longer be me…etc.
