Endorse, if you will be so bold, our next art show.

[swag]

Aitch and I are having another art show.

Our next art show is "endorsed," so please add your endorsement by replying to this post or PMing me. Choose how you want to be listed on the roster of endorsers. Feel free to use your real name, stage name, or user name. You don't even have to like the art or show up at the opening. You don't have to show up ever. Your name will just appear on a document (and a web site) listing "endorsers" of the Undeserved Retrospective. No future employer will care.

It's going to be a more fucked up show than the Undeserved Retrospective show website implies. I just found all the old "art videos" I made in the mid-eighties, and golly, they are certainly of their time.

We will be showing those things, along with other pieces of art that Aitch and I have made over the past 23 years, beginning with the opening on Last Thursday (not as big an opening party as the one for Oil Fight. Come by and booze it up with us if you give a shit. Or simply email me with your endorsement. Go down in history as an endorser of the Undeserved Retrospective!

Here's the the front of the invite postcard.

1. Oy geez, that postcard text is eerily familiar

Was teh text taken from Jehovah's Witness magazines?


:breaks out in hives:

[swag]

4. "Watchtower" came in through the mailslot

while I was taking pictures out the peephole.

Good eye.

[Schema Thing]

6. Not such a good eye

I spent all my formative years, and way to many adult years, believing God wanted me to hand out to good people like you art fodder (we, otoh, considered you guys "bird fodder", after a particularly nasty bit of scripture in Revelations).

Glad you put it to such great use!

[bridgit]

2. but of darling, consider it endorsed...

Pixie Pulitzer & j dot...and that's official :headbang:

[swag]

5. The show is quite honored.

[bettyellen]

3. i'm emboldened alright... enough to endorse this baby wholeheartedly

with nary a look back or the smallest thought of regret. Where do I sign?
I really truly wish I could be there at the opening.. perhaps you shpuld do a completely unwarranted webcast of "Undeserved".
I would be so glued tot my computer.
:hi:

[swag]

8. Great suggestion on the webcast.

I doubt that will happen, but some of these fucked up videos I made in the 80s will soon be up on youtube. I can't believe the haircuts I used to give myself.

Can the endorsers' list of say "bettyellen"? Thanks for endorsing. And for buying the drinks. And for suggesting the cab uptown, uptown. See you in a few months, maybe. Maybe I'll remember what happens this time.

[ghostsofgiants]

27. It means go for it, essentially.

I got it from the mockumentary FUBAR, which is pretty hilarious. Possibly a Canadian phrase, I dunno.

And yeah, Jon Kennedy. I don't mind having my name all over the internets, haha.

[tigereye]

[BarenakedLady]

26. I would endorse your show absolutely!

I wish I lived closer so I could schmooze with you and act sophisticated and avant-garde.

:thumbsup:

[swag]

28. Thanks so much for the endorsement!

Come when you can, but don't expect anybody there to act too sophisticated or avant garde. Mostly we just try to get the attention of the dogs. Yes, real live dogs.

[BarenakedLady]

29. Well now I'm interested

What are the dogs part in all this?

[swag]

30. The show is in a dog friendly wine bar, the likes of which one might find in

Sevilla or somewhere.

Heres a youtube vid of Porter the wineshop dog.

There are other dogs who show up: Larry, Ebi, Maggie, et al.

[BarenakedLady]

31. That is awesome

That video was a black lab/ridgeback mix. So cool.

Awwww I'm so jealous I want to come...:(

[swag]

32. Yeah, Porter is a gorgeous dog,

and everybody loves the sweet disposition and the ridge back.

It's a nice place.
