Report: 8/27/08

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Report: 8/23

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Neo-futurism?

Saturday, August 2, 2008

Back in the summer, I short-circuited the play-acting we were doing in The Art of Being Off-Task by claiming that I had found the answer to the problem. I coyly held out on the group till I was back in town, but I still want to hold back, in a way. What I found was […]
