A glimpse at Patsy's next book

"A book about everything natural. Everything is just perfect and that's the way I like it." Patsy Blaiser

Obama writes back

Dear Obama, You have helped the people. You help people after the earthquake. You have helped people, like tsunamis. And lot lot lot of people can't do anything about it. And, you have saved people from disaster. I have a grudge costume I want to show you. And, we'll send you pictures of me in my grudge costume. I know you are the best President in the United States of America. And I hope you have a great day. You are beautiful. I want meet you someday. I am making a Grudge movie, I am in it. I am so scary and bloody. In my wig. In the grudge house. Me, Ashley, and Annie will make a movie, Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom.
Love, Chanel

Project Grow Lecture

I saw Sandy Friday.

In the cafeteria they were (swirls fingers in the air) with their bikes!

Dan McClary was there too. There was music. Yea hea!

Speaking of music. We have a dance February 12th!

Lifted their front wheel! It went up! Oh yes. I liked that.

Pretty good dancing too.

We came after the big finish, we came in the room and talked about things.

About community, speech, about art. Things to do. Communicate. I want Natasha to be the president. I'm on her side. So I can be safe. On her side.

You were there!

Amanda! There were some strangers too. Who was that guy who was talking? I want to double check.

The Tensions Between Utopic and Dystopic Constructions - A lecture by Natasha Wheat and Performance by the Sprockettes - January 8th

Utopia: title of a book by Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas (Saint Thomas More), 1478–1535, English statesman and author of Utopia, celebrated as a martyr in the Roman Catholic Church. The work pictures an ideal state where all is ordered for the best for humanity as a whole and where the evils of society, such as poverty and misery, have been eliminated. The popularity of the book has given the generic name Utopia to all concepts of ideal states. The description of a utopia enables an author not only to set down criticisms of evils in the contemporary social scene but also to outline vast and revolutionary reforms without the necessity of describing how they will be effected. Thus, the influence of utopian writings has generally been inspirational rather than practical.

What is in your Utopian world?

Endale: Peace.

Jamond: Smile . Funny. Crazy. Pretty hair.

Zach: I like painting good pictures. I like the way I do pictures. I like to make it look nice.

Brian: Really, that's what you want to talk to me about? Is this the list? Closed cycle sustainability, universal/physical/neurological design, healthy democracy, gender abolition, low calorie nachos.

David: singing! Amanda in a duet. You look fabulous in utopia. Fabulous like Sandy.

Chanel: I've never been there. I'd like to go to India.
