1. 2. Mayberry.
1. Our Art Year: "Rain and Snow" by Suzanne Thomas: Courtney and Jack figure it out. They have their epiphany and realize that Chet's cousin two-timed them during the exchange. (They were dealing drugs to make fast money to fund a move some place awesome. But they'd been two-timed and had to flee to the mountains to hide out for a while. They got in with two chicks and Butch Cassidy-and-Sundance'd their way into polite Republican society, only to learn that their girlfriends' fathers were using them.)
Follow the path the Coens left with The Big Lebowski.
One character really digs listening to bluegrass when he's stoned.
(+Han Solo--unredeemed--as Chet/CC.)
2. Untitled Project--Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in late-1600's/early-1700's: Insurgents are rogue Iroquois. That pre-Romantic gender structure still exists, and Dutch, French, and English families do business with the native Americans. "Jade Fox" is a witch and "Lee Moo Bai" is a regional policeman (nicknamed: Reverend) who commands a great deal of respect by polite society. The governor's daughter has had a secret romance with an Algonquin raider-prince (or whatever: he takes her into the mountains). He kidnaps her, and she doesn't stop fighting to get out (that is: until they fall in love).
The structure of the story braces itself against class, and culture.
"I am the dragon of the desert, who appears from nowhere and who leaves no trace."
"There there. Now you understand what the true jungle life is like."

Speaking to American folk heroes: spoke with Brother Drury for an hour today about Rickets, the cat that ate an entire spool of thread and had it coming out of both ends before going in for successful veterinary surgery; disengaging from the cultural construction of one mythical Human Nature; finding a way to meld Zen and Now that is actionable and enlightening in motion; the colliding literary philosophies of drama and the aesthetics of the sublime; sharing our new home-states with one another and our mutual friends in the near future.
I asked him how he thought it was going to end. He said it would be ecological. We wondered if we'd face it as humans, or as Americans. We wondered how we'd be asked to face it: as humans?--or as Americans?
It's been a long time since Mayberry. It feels long, anyway.
