The Seattle crew do you spot YOU
OH MY GOD BILLIS
did you see my gold? that’s either my gold or I tagged a ziggurat with my brand.
The college footage was shot at a university for the deaf in Canada. Director Rick Mustaine reasoned that the deaf students would not be able to hear the cameras running and would therefore offer a more natural performance. Once there, however, Mustaine was so terrified by the voices of the deaf students that he barricaded himself inside an enormous clock.why am i still functioning (via prionace)
pen and ink study for intruder comic
sassa: “you’re writing a comic about a kid whose birthday wish is to be imprisoned in a spectral pyramid necropolis?”
billis: “yes”
Man in a dusty gray suit pulls a stick a charcoal out from his pocket n’ crosses out the “FILM” n’ writes above it “DIGITAL MEDIAS OR IPHONES OR XBOX GAME” n’ spits in the dirt and shuffles back into the school
[07:31] starspace2/4/2012: dreamt J Chastain was a shut-in just up the street from me, and I finally meet him.
[07:32] starspace2/4/2012: guys are ripping off my van, which I left parked in the street for a few days
[07:34] starspace2/4/2012: jchastain encourages me to the “take them down” - we go there, and he says “I forgot, I don’t do this kind of thing anymore.” instead of helping me confront the dudes, he sticks birthday candles in a crevice in the bark of a tree and lights them. “have you got my rear bicycle tire, inca brand? I want it.”
[07:37] starspace2/4/2012: we stop by his house, it’s appallingly unkempt, with extremely matted-down carpet. jchastain puts on some blacksabbath I’ve never heard before, there are euro-punk-is-political partyboys hangingout on the enclosed portch in there. jchastain tells me that this sabbath track can’t be played loud enough.
[07:40] starspace2/4/2012: We wander down the street to my house, a couple partyboys follow, I climb a ladder into the thick branches of the tree that rest over part of the roof where I store bicycle wheels, I see a courier arrive
[07:42] starspace2/4/2012: jchastain had drugs sent to himself at my house, the scene has become illicit. my nosey neighbor comes out and asks one of the partyboys to “use some american” because he is suspect. He defensively says “I em americaine. I em americaine.”
[07:44] starspace2/4/2012: I come down off the ladder with the inca-brand bicycle wheel and try to talk the neighbor into ease- at that moment a huge rat runs out.
[07:46] starspace2/4/2012: the neighbor exhorts me to get it, and in pursuit of the rat under some parked cars, I bite off my tongue, which falls on the pavement in front of me. I question whether this just happened because I see the tongue has some hairs firmly anchored in places on it, I don’t remember ever dealing with them- could it really be mine?
[07:47] starspace2/4/2012: I confirm that I have only a little of my tongue left in my mouth, I cannot speak and am bleeding steadily.
[07:47] starspace2/4/2012: jchastain comes up,”I’d like to see more of your comedy, if you call it ‘your comedy’.”
[07:49] starspace2/4/2012: the implication - not everyone does, or is so serious about it.
