Days 76 and 77: Two For One (and these are my peoples)

Before the Temple in Ruins 76 - 7/20

This weekend Becky and I went antiquing and I found a bunch of old German photographs from 1959 - thats one above, now appropriated in red…

You’ll probably see that tomorrow as well…

and some postcards

Monday I woke up around 1 and decided to call off and go to Detroit to the Museum of Contemporary Art and see Lightning Bolt w/ Human Eye and Wolf Eyes

—-

That was nuts…if you’re not familiar with Lightning Bolt here’s a taste, it was pretty much exactly like this…

the crowd was right up against them, they were floor level. Total Frenzy…

There was no sign of where one part of the chaos ended, who was in control…as soon as the band started the people simultaneously went crazy, on the verge of killing eachother…

I was in the shit for about 10 minutes before the 250+ crowd had raised the temperature of the room at least 40 degrees making it impossible to breathe…so I went out for some air…where I’m pretty sure I was standing next to the actual Johnny Knoxville and listening to some feminists dressed like hookers say “boys say they are guys but they never are and men are never men, but we deal with it…”

Is the thrift store scene still alive? It seems to be…and no one seems to shower, filthy humans…they inspired me, i haven’t showered in days…

My peoples are crazy…
