Today a woman gets up on me at 6th St. n Mission.
Hammered - get's up into me - grinning - grabs my crotch.
I hold her shoulders - ask her how in the world
I'm supposed to get money out with her lodged into me.
She smiles like crazy... I hold her away at 6 inches.
Get coin while she lifts her shirt and zooms in to minus 1 inch.
Oddest-ever accosting.

Nick and I spend hours . weeks ..(and since '07).
It's our latest "Bill Dane on the internet." makeover-binge.
He doesn't know the story of me driving boxes full of
negatives and bad prints to the recycling center.
Thrashing around in the dumpster. trashing it all.
I can't deal with the burden of:
Some year I'll be responsible for sorting out this history.
So.. I (over) simplify.
All my pictures are out there.
All the photo postcards I have mailed since 1969.
Nothing is really lost.

This picture is the one

of my Ivar Theater pictures !

Science I love . again and again
The amazing chemistry of dreams:
I wake up early . just now . slowly . so I remember
I am in a high school art class as an outsider-visitor-helper
It's critique time
The work is carefully put up. to see
I wander out and down the hall to another art classroom
Walk in and move around the edges looking at each piece on three walls
What am I doing ?! .Run back
They're watching a fine art film . I watch . Rembrandt lighting beauty
Lights on
I look at each of their drawings on the wall
The quality is remarkable
Starting to wake up . realizing . somehow .I create
Two complete art shows with unique .wonderful pictures
A poignant film .within
A cast of.engaging teen characters
I get to do it again

Bill Dane
There are trade-offs:
Are your dreams getting better with aging
My sleep-chem-events make up for piles

I email Nick a new picture of me to use at the top of .A FOLK TALE:
Me: . Potential pirate ..medicatedNick:. LOVE this picture
it doesn’t look like you – but it’s very cool… very intense and not unflattering.Me: .It fuckin' looks exactly like what I see in a mirror.
Is this not curious ?!
Nick:
Me: .No wonder no one sees my pictures.
I don't even know what they look like !
