another wild HOT MESS survived, this time at the Baltic Anarchist Bookfair!!
it's been a whole year of the Fireman--a look i mixed off kyo/zhar and the blaze in my heart!
i still think there needs to be a kny sequel called The Rage Of The Hairdresser, just for kyo and his impossible bangs... but i'm happy with the wig progress, and the character it gained after the night party trashing. also happy with the face i did this time, esp the stage of just blush/eyeshadow and big black brows--very vivacious!!!
and i'm more than happy with the overall experience!
talked so much my throat died angrily. i gave the hot/manifesto talk--essentially an intro to the social toolbox that i like using--and it's thinking/sharing/connecting but at its core this communication is... an encouragement i'd say.
still baffles me that it's actually so possible to share ideas with a crowd. that it really is possible to make your words reach people, and that people can choose to reach back!
that you can deliver words of encouragement to a chunk of a vulnerable and otherwise-feeling-very-isolated community, and with it make the connection within it just a little tighter. some ppl now know that there's that one tool guy with ideas. i now know that there's not one or two but several venue's full of people who grind the same everyday outsider struggle that i do, open to connection. and i know that there are words to bring this whole crowd together and make us collectively go wild. this brings a feeling unlike any other, as if something bigger than all of us is coming awake in the very air--man! can you believe that?? you can take a mic and say your words. you can just fucking do that! life is full of mania
