Re: RAT Re: [bigcheap] THIS WEEKEND

  I can't agree on this  point. It seems like another example of our 
fast-food lives. Disaster Tuesday- Mourn Wednesday- get  back to work 
Thursday. I'm not in New York or DC, I'm in Philadelphia- but I feel 
a need to mourn and to think,and to keep MSNBC on 34 hours a day, and 
to write...

  I want to feel the  enormity  not only of what happened, but what is 
going to happen.  Part of me wants to feel it because I need  time to 
digest  and be alone, part of me wants the time because I suspect it 
will be the single largest societal event of my life,  and  I need to 
figure out how to address this new cultural  landscape- this feeling 
of fear, and dread, and absence- with my art.

There is a large Fringe festival going on here in Philadelphia- as 
committed as I am to art, I truly feel the rest of the Festival 
should be  canceled if for no  other reason than to honor those who 
died.
