Travis New(sletter)bill #1

There is a show whose face is it anyway kind of energy and why not play with, and, not so secretly hope, that some engagement — as in face showing — may lead to face liking (not at all booking, though maybe shows) and more time supported to do it.

I was listening to Clark Coolidge and Bernadette Mayer and Coolidge said something about artistic impulse to do what you’re not allowed to — by your own rules or others’ — as in, Stein’s prohibition on memory and Mayer doing it like a score for improvisation. I feel a couple decades late to the festival.

Anyway, it may get easier or worse. It's just the name of waiting, discarded.
