i finally dragged my ass out to pasadena to see the mark ryden show. i didn't want to like it because i'm a snob like that but i was won over. there's some seriously good painting and amazing custom frame work. i think he relies on his own stylistic trappings a bit too much, the macabre take on keane paintings and the kitchen sinkisms of all the world's iconography of the last 10 years, but the compositions and color schemes are beautiful and they're always entertaining.
it's at pcma. they're staying open til midnight tonight and the show closes tomorrow. it's worth the trip.

it makes sense, dude, sorry .i just hate to see people being treated unjustly. it really bothers me. i understand your angle. it seemed some what of a beurocratic stance on the topic, and not very simpathetic. i'll never say empathetic because some of us will never experience what others deal with on a daily bases.....

o.k.,crystal clear. but what i was driving at as far as stating, "experiences that others deal with on a daily bases", was n't the emmit till case but racism in general. i think thats the point alisa was trying to make. then again that is only an assumption,thats what i read into it. what i picked up is that it still happens, i mean didn't this black dude get dragged to death while chained behind a pick up truck in small town texas? what the fuck? i mean it still happens. that was only a few years ago. dude, I'M NOT TRYING TO BASH YOU, you're probably cool as hell and a complete blast to be around at a show. out side of what you or i are around people go through situations like that even in the 21 century. you'd think that people were smart enough to realize that we're all one species and probably,(if proven), share the same gene pool. past and present events are relevant towards shaping a positive future. think about it, what if we really do share the same gene pool. then "The Who's" ,song,"Substitute" would be right on the money. then i could look forward to my kids developing some natural rhythm. have a good night dude,and have a geat day tommorrow....
