Up Yours Update

Hello, my little queers.

It has been ages since I've written. I was working, then not, and now I am again, but I can't get on to My Space here, so I need to change my habits. I'm back on this blog again.

I really need to make some comment on the below blogs. I had even started an entry called Neko, not Nico, but it was blank. I want to say that that Neko Case show I went to a million years ago was really great. I love Webster Hall for concerts. She made me cry a little and I basically think that she kicks major ass. The end.

OK, since I last wrote, much has happened. I'm back in Miami and I have seen quite a few things. Like last week, I was at The Standard on Miami Beach, and Hulk Hogan rode up on a boat with his whole familial crew and parked next to me. I almost shit myself. I remember playing with his plastic figurine as a child and there he was, all brown and tow headed, right in front of me! Miami, bro.

I saw Al Gore speak last night at the University of Miami. He did the whole Inconvenient Truth ppt. I didn't see the movie, but I think it's the same info. I love Al. I know some people think he's a hypocrite, but who gives a crap. He's actually out there speaking to people and telling them what shitty shape our environment is in. All those people complaining about him need to get out there with their Powerpoints to convince me that I need to criticize Al. There's this Spike Jonze short documentary that I have that shows Al at home with his family and they're just lovable! I LOVE THEM, pervertedly. Even Tipper, well, sort of.

Julia Stiles was at The Abbey last week and we chatted, thanks to Abraham. We both like 7A on Ave A and 7th Street. I mean, it's OK, I don't love it there, but she said she did, so I agreed. I know, I'm lame. It is pretty good though, just not fabulous. Enough about 7A, for real.

What else? I saw Devendra Banhart again at a private Art Basel event hosted by the Deitch Projects, thanks to Lil' Monds and my own bold nature. He was quite fabulous this time. Unlike the shitty Hammerstein Ballroom, sitting on the sand beneath him singing and playing at the Raleigh was truly one of the neatest experiences; definitely the coolest Art Basel '06 experience. I also saw Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah at the Raleigh that week, I snuck in again, and they were OK. The show got shut down basically before it started. I sent my friend Liza to go talk to the band to see what they were doing after, but they weren't into us, I guess, or they really didn't know where they were going next...

What else have I been up to: saw Dick Dale on Valentine's Day (awesome), went to Miami Noise Conference (Nathan and I checked out dirty boys like the dirties we are), went to Deerhoof show, John Waters movie is out, but I can't find it and I might be in it (let me know if you have it) and does someone want to buy me Northern Exposure seasons 2-6?

I CANNOT WAIT for Shortbus to come out on video, I'm buying it, well, I'll buy it if I have any money at that point. I need a haircut. Should I trust Fabio again?

I noticed I never wrote a blog about Revolutionary Road, one of the best books of the 20th Century, and now it's been too long since I read it, and I can no longer write one. I'm reading What is the What and it is just wonderful. I'm all about it. I'm taking it slow, because it's so sad. I might impale myself on the hardcover if I read it more quickly. By sad I mean, absolutely miserable in every way. I mean dark and horrible, but fabulous. Anyway. Read it you ignoramuses.

FIN for now.
Look, a Leb--->
