It was supposed to be a monumental occasion.

Jay Barnes and I went to PS1 last night to see the first screening since 1995, and the first American screening ever of "Watch The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid."

Read about the movie here. Trust me, it's a great story, and I don't want to minimize it by giving it an insufficient description here ( Read more... )

Wow, that sounds like a pretty amazing time...

you know, in hindsight it certainly sounds it. at the time it was merely ok though. more frustrating than anything.

read the book "45" by Bill Drummond if you want to hear more about their zaniness.

Yeah, except for the fact that it was totally free. I guess there's the whole thing about a big, hyped buildup and then dashed expectations and all that. That definitely worked.

These guys are quite good at what they do, wouldn't you say?

That was a great story. I was secretly hoping that the gentleman with you was going to turn out to be Bill Drummond.

I've been on a Bill kick again lately. I bought the silent protest kit and one of the 20,000 pieces of A Smell of Sulphur in the WInd by Richard Long (info here). Also, I have the book The K Foundation Burn a Million Quid which is a lot more interesting than the movie, it sounds like. I also finally tracked down and read How to Be an Artist which wasn't as good but was still worth a read, as well as his two novels with Zodiac Mindwarp. If you wanna borrow any of 'em, lemme know.

Seriously, he's so awesome. I was really sad to not be able to join you.
