Deep Fried Books
Last night, Laura and I went to Art Hop and had a grand ol’ time wandering around. There was so much to see (and smell), that it was impossible to cover everything.
The highlight of the evening was John La Falce and Drew Luan Matott’s Deep Fried Books performance (?) at Green Door Studio. The smell was… uh… interesting. I chose a copy of Hurricane (pictured above) and Laura chose a paperback copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest covered in Oreo Cookies to be deep fried, then sealed with a FoodSaver®. Mmm, there ain’t nothin’ like a good ol’ book fry.
The lowlight of the evening was the fashion show. In all fairness, we didn’t actually see the show because the catwalk was barely elevated, there were hundreds of people in front of us, and we’re both short.
UPDATE:
Laura’s cats broke the seal of her deep fried book but didn’t touch the book. Anyone have a FoodSaver® she can use?
I brought my book to work for the Monday morning staff meeting, which has now become show and tell.

Speak for yourself! I’m not short. I’m short and squat, thank you very much. And I’m relatively sure the fashion show still would have been a horror even if we could have seen over the tall and trim.

Haw! Good one Laura!
Strut had some nice moments like the awesome bridal bit at the end a la Ava of Damn Fine pants. But it was just TOO HOT to be crammed into a garage – TOO HOT!!!!
Did you guys see the dude taking portraits with the HUGEAMONIOUS Mac monitor!?!? Wow!

We were at that garage earlier tonight watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with a live soundtrack. It was much cooler, but the annoying lights that give everyone a green tinge were still there. Luckily, they were off most of the time.
Yeah, we saw the gargantuan monitor. It was unreal. Imagine all the pallets and windows you could have open. I want it. We were trying to think of way to steal it. Laura suggested I drop my pants to create a distraction.

And I maintain that it would have worked. Man drops trousers, crowd stops to stare, girl steals insanely large monitor. It’s a win-win situation. And by win-win I mean that in the end I would have walked off with the monitor and not had to drop my own pants.

hee hee, I think it was a fool proof plan. win-win indeed!
since it is too late to grab the monitor, i say implement it at a bank instead. although cash is not anywhere near as interesting as that ridiculously obese monitor monster. want. it.
