none of this is real.

you pull the plug,

I disappear.

nothing I ever do,

will ever matter.

Nicoletta Ceccoli shows at Roq La Rue Gallery - Seattle

July 12th, 2007

tree girlWorks from Nicoletta Ceccoli are showing at Roq La Rue Gallery, Seattle.

I’m so happy for Nicoletta, who happens to be a good friend of mine.

This is a major event for her, I know how much she cares about this and I whole-heartedly wish her all the best.

Kurt Vonnegut R.I.P.

Kurt Vonnegut

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, ‘The Beatles did’.”

Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake, 1997

 

Well, I’m sure you did too. Thank you!

 

UPDATE: here is Boing Boing bringing up an interesting and very appropriate quote:

We had a memorial services for Isaac [Asimov] a few years back, and at one point I said, “Isaac is up in Heaven now.” It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, “Kurt is up in Heaven now.” That’s my favorite joke.

Mine too!!!
