Poem: I Don’t Like Much About Art But I Know What I Do

One time when we flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, short flight, early on a Monday morning, there was a guy behind me boasting as he crammed a splatter-paint canvas into the overhead – he’d been at the Blue Man Group show the night before and they’d given him the artwork that’s created spontaneously […]

Tour Diary: # 5 – Vegas Baby…Vegas – “I Didn’t Know They Were Vampires…I Didn’t Know It Was A Devil Town…”

Stubs: # 9 – Blue Man Group, Las Vegas, 2012

We were in Las Vegas – and wanted to see a show, a Vegas show. We had a seven-month-old baby so our Vegas trip wasn’t at all similar to any of the movies you see set there. We had friends living in Las Vegas, they took us to meet artists and see galleries, to check […]
