clothespins on the face
I don't know about you, but Wednesday Night is the night I usually cry and scream into a bucket.
I feel defeated-- money defeated. That feeling like I'm sucking more out of the world than I'm putting into it because I can't afford the most basic parts of my existence, despite the fact that I appear to be tall and wearing shoes.
There's only one thing to do: go see Armenian Comedian this Friday. I need to remember that weirdos are still here and they're still not homeless.
At The Mint at this holiest of Shabbats. Be there with your lavosh.

Who Is Dorian Wood?
It's an egotistical venture to proclaim someone else a genius; inherent is the implication that I, Pam, have the knowledge necessary to weed out the genius from the everyday. However, despite my crippling self doubt, I am confident in my ability to call out the geniuses, and so I begin with Dorian.
The first time I met him, I was talking about bees. He'd mentioned that he admired them and that if we were all bees we'd "never leave each other" and would be compelled to work toward the greater good of the community. It wasn't his insight per se but his ability to put his thumb on the zeitgeist; for weeks I'd been wiping my cheek about my own isolation and he'd been able to understand what I was going through simply based on my choice of conversational insect.
Saturday March 22 I had the pleasure to see him at Human Resources, an art gallery in Chinatown, with a gorgeous chamber orchestra. Dorian Wood is hard to categorize because he doesn't chase categorization. Rather than figuring out an easy way to brand/ market himself, he chases quality and that otherworldly transcendence that real art can provide.
What every performance does have in common, however, is a "religious" experience. Like a preacher leading his congregation, Dorian's music can send chills down the spine as he contemplates the guts, blood, mess and gore that necessarily come with atonement, apocalypse, faith, love, and everything else we want to ascend to.
Keep an eye out for future performances. Seeing Dorian Wood is a prerequisite for Angelinos on the lookout for emerging experimental artists.
