WAY TO GO OHIO, part 5

our inside joke without a punch line hasn't developed any since the first half of the month. they've extended the next contest deadline until the tenth of december. so we'll have to wait to see how brooklyn decides to play the columbus bicentennial's last hurrah. meanwhile, however, something appreciably local. even if the columbus emerging artist series doesn't seriously update its tumblr, it purports to throw monthly events. and even if it happened at the pizza place that purports to be portland in columbus, this month's installment in the series was a welcome opportunity to get some good stuff cheap. the matting around the new-urban-blue-collar-throwback (schiele style) grotesquery that i put in a friend's car when i got on my bike was alone worth the thirty dollars that i had to make change for before handing it to the artist and pulling the portrait down from the wall. as i was leaving, the organizer told me that there aren't auctions every month, that sometimes the group just hosts talks...and i cut him off there. because, as they say, talk is for fags. and i said so, and then he didn't seem to want to talk anymore. but wait! because my friend is a puppeteer. he could make something with that skull if you got us some cold cuts. but he was gone. and way to go?

anyway, i've got my painting, made in emerging columbus; and maybe we'll check out december's event. meanwhile, however, we're going to crash the party in youngstown.
