Plastic Alto with Mark Weiss

 I stopped Stephanie and Steve and their dog as they were leaving the Cobblery and ask them if they missed Go Mama Or were upset that the piece was removed from kitty corner to their CalibAvenue establishment.  She said that when she heard it was in doubt she went out and verified that it was wobbly and potential he dangerous especially since kids climb on it. Or we could go at the jetty Chicago lecture at Stanford a reputable arts Lamented the loss especially because in her opinion the doll with the face in the chest represented motherhood and birth The staff report from several months ago claims plausibly that the technical problem and not aesthetic reasons caused the removal. There was some discussion as to whether artist Martha hall could arrange for the piece to be bolstered rather than moved or destroyed but the city decided audio Samego’s

Further up the block near El Camino I verified that Susan Leibowitz Steinman piece talking bricks remains in tact even with the improvements to the sidewalk and narrowing of the street I like the one about Amy tan Vita blue and Willie Brown

In a completely unrelated matter I spoke to Kim are KCSM AR at Graham Greene your gallery in New York and probably will not make it to see this Jamie quick to see Smith show in this piece 50 shades of brown

Or, getting to “———-“.

What is obviously and painfully missing from Gen’s story is the context, The Downtown Cap, or THE DOWNTOWN CAP, Program L-8 on Page L-8 of the Comp Plan: Limit new non-residential development in the Downtown area to 350,000 square feet, or 10 percent above the amount of development existing or approved as of May, 1986. Reevaluate this limit when non-residential-development approvals reach 235,000 square feet of floor area. The point of this is that We The People thru our General Plan or Comp Plan promised ourselves to say “no” to the developers once they had 25 million plus square feet in the city, and this amount total downtown. There’s also an additional Policy L-8, under sub-heading Commercial Growth Limits, after Maintian and Strengthen City Character in Goals Policies Programs Local Land Use and Growth Management Goal L-1 (a Well-designed compact City, providing residents and visitors with attractive neighborhoods…) “maintain a limit of 3,257,900 square feet” for new development in the nine planning areas.
Yesterday’s meeting was supposed to be The New Residentialist majority saying “ding dong the witch is dead” and we are regulating, as we have been promising for years, and five months after being elected, the real estate cartel, not um, gee, staff will find a magical way to soften the blow of us saying we do not have the courage to say no, or enact a moratorium. See also: we are gutting the Comp Plan, in favor of the developers and not updating or revising or improving it. Last night was council capitulating to power and agreeing to not enforce the law of the land, literally.

If Council, or GS or Dr. Levy make it sound like progress, I see it as a sad defeat. Meanwhile I was somehow surfing the web during the meeting and found Ben Page of Northwestern article co-written by a Princeton professor about how America is now more of an oligarchy than Democracy. And I have to admit I missed whatever it was that cleared the room (Doria Summa, Jeff Levinsky, Emily Rentzel, Lydia Kou) because I was bored and frustrated and was chatting up KZSU analyst Vince Larkin and doing a Marcel Marceau by putting on a cap, pulling it down over my head, down to my hips, wriggling it to my feet and stepping out of it. Take a bow. Maybe I will reprise that during the next 3 Minute Drill.

History repeats itself, tragedy, face and now mime.

I wrote the above three years ago, March 25, 2015, on the Weekly comments board. Last nite new council voted 5-4 to extend the problem forever. Allison Levitsky of The Post makes it sound like Liz Kniss tricked Lydia Kuo into supporting her motion and breaking a tie 5-4. Dissent were Fine,

Ok, to sum it up, as Aleph approaches the Zeta landscape, there is making it, and making it up, there is truth and fiction, there is reality hunger, there is 23 and Me and 40 Acres and a Mule, there are Sunset Clauses and PTI, PS and PMS, and PNH, sadly; it’s not too late to have a happy childhood (at Tom Robbins insists, even to Hal Riney, to take credit for), there are self-made-men, test-tube babies, there’s Bibi, Henry Bibby, fathers and sons, of varying stripes and shades, we are a product of both our environment and mastering by both Dave Schultz AND Bill Inglot, we can be both master of our own domains and merely pulling someone or our own’s chain, but I like what my classmate Jessica Yu and her client or subject or victim Mark O’Brian – great name – said: and I’m paraphrasing, we are a combination of what a higher power and a new MacBook can do: we are co-creators of the universe, even if we are waiting Richard Nixon to send us home, and will I am holding my own. We are making it. Making it R Us. Sho nuff, ya dig?

On Earth Day last Sunday, April 20 2 2018 at far out gallery Fog Taraval St., Sunset District San Francisco Terry Joe and I listened to Peter and Judy seeing Phil Ochs Parenthesis 25th anniversary of Earth wise productions at 4:20 PM

A message from a Santa Fe gallery this a.m. has me thinking about Jacob Koopee and Marti Struever. The parallel forms of these three images stored on my handheld device barely merit a discrete post. No disrespect for Jabob. I didn’t know him but I’m pretty sure my parents had met him. The ominous faceless maiden pot is from a private collection circa 2011 and likely also from Marti’s special suite sale during market that year, and her catalog.

I consider corned beef a sacred food

Coukd the message “F-20” be from anther world?

I stand by this

edit to add:

the logo of the cutlery company I noticed post publishing makes me return to the gallery and publish the signature on the bottom of Jakob’s pot:

It’s kokopeli reference  it says 2008  ten years goes fast  this is the sixteen hundred and first post as plastic alto and yes you are hearing bubbling after a still.

now I wonder about the rest of the message  sojus kroiji moas???
