A Miss Stein taught the course where expressionism is defined. With this in mind, I say, "That's good expressionistic fantasy art". I always thought expressionism, surrealism, dada and futurism would make good sf and fantasy art.

how about Duke of Gnarls?

Um, for formal events we should probably stick with the Prince of Edgeness (or His Royal Higher Mathness to his first countrymen, wherever they may be found) but for Dress Down Fridays and other informal gatherings we could have the house band sing:

Duke duke duke
Duke of gnarl duke duke
Duke of gnarl duke duke
Duke of gnarl duke duke…

Knowing that at some point a cheesy fifties tenor chorus will break out into a few nasal ah…..s and then things, as they must, progress to….

Duke (nothing can stop me now), duke of gnarl duke duke duke of…

At which point we may need to determine if he’s thin enough and white enough to progress to a Bowie (of sorts) repertoire.

I don't think I've seen a story where a disease is the protagonist, though certainly Gaia may look at human history that way! Japan videos coming soon, maybe. You can find some videos of me already online by searching <a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=rudy+rucker" rel="nofollow">video.google.com</a>. As for publishing the prices for my paintings for possible remote sales, I'll think about that after the show. You can in fact access the sizes and art type on my <a href="http://www.rudyrucker.com/paintings" rel="nofollow">Paintings page </a>(off the sidebar of the blog).

Is there any plan to show the paintings on your website with prices and sizes and art type information so that those of us at a distance can participate? And possibility of "taping" the readings for podcast? The incredibly boring federal court bankruptcy hearings I do are taped and available, why not your stuff which is infinitely more fun? Finally, is someone using disease vectors on the macro level and germ and virus life on the micro level as characters? I just got cancer and was fascinated to have this process evolving inside me that is not understood and that is attacked by massive firepower to eradicate totally this thing we don't really understand. The machines were awesome by the way. Sure I went along; I'm only 63 and have a lot to do yet. But where could this go, all this death and physical distruction? Things are not always what they seem. Even as a lawyer I know this. Just too chicken to try another way. What if we welcomed cancer? Do ya think it might speak up and let us know what it is trying to do? Maybe its not just trying to kill us. Maybe its trying to evolve us. Or talk with us. My husband says these thoughts are the result of my hippie drug days. Ok with me. I was the only one in there fascinated instead of terrified. Like others at a considerable distance I can’t attend the showing/reading/happening.
