Hamell on Trial

I came across a livejournal entry from Hamell on Trial with a Dan Bern mention today, and then spent a long time reading his livejournal and not so much time working.

He opened a bunch of shows for DB last fall, the couple I caught were pretty great. There're quite a few sets, maybe some from those shows, I don't know, on archive.org -- definitely worth checking out.

ps The NAL self portrait e-bay auction is up to $1,500. nice.

Painting Auction

Dan Bern's self portrait used as part of the cover art for "New American Language" is being auctioned on e-bay. Buy it for me?



I've been stuck in this goin' no place desk job
For too many months, it's time to move on
If I quit and just tried to just do my paintings

I wonder if I could come up with the rent
