Belgium, The Netherlands

Tuesday, July 12, 2005

The entry below about Keith has been updated with information on the wake.

Other than the obvious exception, we had a really good time in Liege, mostly due to the company (but the food sure helped; much better than in Paris). We're in Amsterdam now and I think will see Josh and others over the next few days (drop Rachel or I a line if you're in town).

Au revoir, Paris

Monday, July 11, 2005

In a few hours we'll be on a train to Liege, Belgium to visit FREE and Dan.

Even in Paris, black guys seem to get hassled by the police pretty regularly.

I don't know if I'll be online in Liege so I may not post until I get to Amsterdam tomorrow evening. I've got to admit that I sure am looking forward to being back in Amsterdam… I make no denial of the fact that drugs and sex are central facets of my life — preferrably when combined. See you at the coffeeshops.

Implant update

Sunday, July 10, 2005

I forgot to mention that my magnetic implants were working very well at the museum. They had various scanners at doorways (so they'd know if you ripped off books from the library I suppose) and I could “feel” them from about two or three feet away, so as I passed through them I could tell exactly which scanners were turned on and which ones were not. Only two in the entire building were actually on.

PS. I don't know what's more annoying… people who don't understand art making claims about what is not art, or people who don't understand art making claims about what is art.

It's worse than talking about religion!
