it was good year.
i did a bunch of things.
i bought a lot of art from some great and sweet friends. which is like all i really wanna do with whatever money i save; support some cool artists, and then eventually try to find an escape hatch property in another country or on a lost separate mellow island to buy.in order to, one fine day, soon perhaps, escape from america.
i worked a lot on a bunch of shows like The Interestings, Iron Fist, Landline, Kevin Can Wait and Quantico, which often felt like drudgery as any job does, but while not working i felt wild & free.
i met a couple really sweet new friends this year,
and i published Gil Riley's first book, Liontamer's Paradise.
but regardless of the heartbreak & futility of bullshit american politics (its like, 'omg of course, how could i forget that its all fake and dangerous imperialism? and always is?!? of course sanders would be cheated!'), 2016 was pretty tight......
in 2017, i look forward to more LoLs, more hang out with friends, some readings, some shows by me under the moniker xPOEMSx, and a xPOEMSx release on the esteemed future recordings label, both vinyl as well as digital.
and more sunny days and sweet talks and more travels to distant old islands.
but anyway 2016 was good,
