You know you're back in Austin when...


...you leave the house for lunch and are joined by a family of chickens. Big ups to Thoughtbarn and Sproutfarm for offering the Taylor Street Lofts (and their bookshelf) for my month long residency, and to Cyclist for the good company and transport to and fro before my bike arrives. Not much yet to report except a good run along the river? the lake? this morning followed by a good chunk of research on 'PUBLIC ART PROJECT PLAY' and 'SOCIAL PRACTICE'. Lunch at Casa Luz, courtesy Ms. Tina Pumilia -- who knew there was such a macrobiotic compound two shakes from downtown?? -- coffee from Jo's, some sweatshirt research, and now I'm back at Taylor Street trying to buckle down and get some work done. Welcome to my procrastination.

What I *should* be doing is preparing for the workshop and lecture I will running/giving in two weeks, amongst many other things. That's what I'm here to do: teach, talk, and get some art ideas out of the machine and into the world. So watch me go. Be back soon...probably too soon...to catch up and process the whirlwind that was the Netherlands in September.
