i wish andy warhol had come to my school and given a talk about art. i wouldn't have cared or known who andy warhol was- i think i was 11 when he died- but it sure would be nice to have that memory now. in fact, i'm sure it would have been hilarious to remember andy warhol surrounded by a bunch of grade schoolers from southern saskatchewan in one of those totally "classroom looking" classrooms, mumbling things like "gee, you sure are cute" and "art is what you make" with his wig slightly askew. oh well. who needs real memories when you can just make this shit up? i just made that "memory" for myself and it was pretty good. emotions related to this "memory" are just as easily manufactured as the images of it-- it just requires a lot of detail. mmmm. . .now i can "remember" having sex with ewan mcgregor when i was 17. this is so great. who knew you could use your imagination for such wonderful things?
my friend kim is coming over tonight. we're going to go play "upwords" at a "rock and roll" bar. seriously, the logo includes the phrase "rockus maximus." no one goes there for obvious reasons, so it's an excellent place to play board games or have really private conversations. i am going to drink mimosa just to piss the owner off. i'm sure he'll be bartending since i don't see how he can possibly be making enough money to pay someone else to be there. i love tuesdays.

once andy was asked to do a series of college lectures so he sent a warhol impersonator instead, which actually worked for a while until someone found out. so either he was being really lazy or he was making some really genius comment on the relationship between imitation and authenticity. now, of course, artists like mark kostabi and damien hirst quite freely admit that they hire other people to do all their work for them, and no one seems to care.
i think that in the eighties, elementary schools (who couldn't have afforded the real andy) should have gotten the fake andy to make an appearance. post-modernism was well established by that point and the kids wouldn't have cared anyway.
