Comments on Last Night at Bumbershoot (Non-Wu-Tang Dept.)

Not that I don't her work and all, but seriously. Who else here is getting quite a bit Miranda Julyed out? I sure as hell am.

I think that "grant" sounds like one of the best things EVER. Just don't tell someone annoying like Oprah.

Wow, that's so like, intense. Like, totally.

Is it possible that you could do cutesy stuff so cutely that the world would just explode into bliss? Because if not, I'm really missing the point of this crap.

I love Miranda July, but even to ME that sounds boring. Maybe there was magic for the actual partipants. Probably the people whose shit got auctioned thought it was really meaningful.

hahaha. "Parti-pants" should read "participants"

Miranda July is so fucking flaky. I can't believe people buy her shit.

Yeah, 'cuz, like, doing nice things for strangers on a complete whim is soooo last Century...

I think she is absolutely adorable.

Something we share in common, Mr. Poe.

I was so hoping she'd show up at William Pohida & Jeff Parker's Back of the Line reading and start a rumble! Alas.

I was so disappointed. I loved her "You and me and everyone we know" and also "no one belongs here more than you" but she was so really boring at bumbershoot. That was the first time I saw her live, does anyone know if that was a typical performance for her?

I loved July's PARIS REVIEW and NEW YORKER stories. In fact I had to augment my antidepressant intake after reading them I was so jealous. Alas! Her Bumbershoot(I was given free tickets thank goodness)deal which I caught the last half of WAS bland. Loved the movie & I believe she is writin' another; love her old video shorts that are so odd. I think with the Bumbershoot deal she was attempting to give REGULAR people a chance to perform, a chance to buy an art-via-context item. In a way her auction was a show of power, her ability to move money from one place to another by hypnotizing the audience into thinking something amazing was going on. Maybe blandness was the point of her non-pointed questions? The person I took with me, a CRAZY ex, leaned over and said, "Am I missing something? I don't get it," and I said, "That's because your whole LIFE is a performance every day -- these people need a guide." People near me were walking out in droves -- ah, choices! Hey, but didn't yawl LOVE Miranda's new fro?!
