Lately i’ve been thinking a lot about what it is I do. I have a role that takes me from 9-5 that I quite enjoy, and have been rather successful in. I work for good people, doing good work which is challenging and diverse. This is a good thing. After two years wearing many hats each day from 9-5, i’ve grown into a desire to narrow my focus.
I think this is called career development, and i’m OK with that.
An increase in thinking and talking about long-term aspirations as concerns income ’round these parts has lead to this newest idea: a business plan. Simple.
I’ve been nurturing a strong urge to create and manage an arts space for quite some time now. I realize that this endeavor will require funding, and so the question of how to purse that, REALLY do it, takes over. @Howdiz thinks a business plan is the way to go. Break the low-funding DIY and or grant/ass-licking mould and simply appeal to investors with a break-away powerhouse of an idea about how to monetize artistic talent in a progressively modern way.

July + Summertime has thus far been a frenzy of family and life-things. @howdiz and I are in the process of buying a house. It takes up a lot of time, so I haven’t spent much on thought and art lately, though there are a few things I’d like to mention:

Last month Libby & Roberta made an email introduction between Rick Banister, myself, and Manya Scheps of New Asshole - the thought was that we might have some things to talk about as concerns theory around art in Philadelphia. I proposed a meet-up and then ordered a copy of my own New Asshole. The zine came to the haus well before the meet-up came together, giving me plenty of time to traverse, digest, and become thoroughly enamored with the endeavor beforehand. Read More
