I am mid-Amityville Lamp. Still 20 hours to go. Welcome (back), so great to hear you again!

We mourn their closing in Jacksonville. Patronize and protect Sun-Ray down there. You’ve got a good one!

What is up with your bosses? When the world is running down, don’t project your fears down to your employees, dang.

Solidarity, Duck!

I get a ton of use out of that station’s KMHD app, and have it programmed on my mother-in-law’s car when we visit OR

It’s wonderful, but check your head when you go.

I was in a negative emotional state and it transmuted my viewing that day something fierce!

The closest experience I’ve had is spending an hour or so alone in the Rothko Chapel, just staring at the main panels. I felt like I was starting to see patterns of dark purple figurative face a la a visual version of Steve Reich’s “resultant rhythms” but freakier.

At the end we were all spent. It was the one of the strangest things I’ve ever experienced.

There’s something to that quote. For 17 hours, it was a kind of transportive aesthetic experience. But that ending was something else entirely. Eldritch, maybe?

We marked each repetition with a piece of paper prepared on a stack to keep the count. As you got to the end, you took a sheet off the top and let it slip to ground.

In his wild state, this kid was throwing paper over his shoulder every 20 seconds.

We could have stopped short or kept an ad hoc rotation going until we reached 840.

Instead he sped up. Became implacable, frenzied.

Six or seven of us had stayed through the night and dozed or slept hard. Suddenly just before sunrise we were all close over his shoulders, out of our minds together.

I was an organizer for a performance done in 20 minute shifts. The last three were taken by a young man who kicked into a speed run so that the final repetitions would fit into our allotted time.

It was unhinged.
