This is what I do:::
Tumul plays the Dress Barn
Tumul is myself and Joe + n. We've been tearin up basements since '89. This show was dedicated to my lil bro who was in a terrible accident three weeks ago and is making a miraculous recovery. He had less than a %20 percent chance to live after the immediate emergent surgery and not only is he talking with sass already, but he's melting nurses hearts and he actually stood up for the first time yesterday! (w/help of course).
So I'm tha dood in the back and all my (inaudible) lyrics are words or phrases my bro has said since he awoke from his coma 5 days ago. I'm mostly saying "you lay down" which is something my bro said after he was sitting up for 20 mins while nurses were holding him up. When it was time for him to lay back down, the nurses told him to lay down and he didn't want to (when I asked him if he felt comfortable sitting up he said "it feels good"). So when he wouldn't lay back down, the nurse got close to his face and said "lay down" and he looked up and said "you lay down". My father and I couldn't help to bust out laughing, he is such a trip. We teared up as it was the first time he was giving some sass.
The second part of the performance I start to demolish an innocent rubber plant with my head and then continue to wrestle it. I called this part "formula of impermanence". I wanted to act out how fragile our lives are and how beauty in our lives can be destroyed and taken away at a blink of an eye. These last three weeks have deeply changed my life and I have a depth of gratefulness I have never felt before.
I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to kiss my lil brother on the forehead every day I see him now.
