Just in time for the next credit crunch and as the main cultural institutions

of the country, in panic, join forces with the corporate media to save their culo, POW!POW! POW! arrives once again to the scene as uncompromising and independent as ever.

Appealing to a primal desire of free expression without limits, POW!POW! POW! is, today, one of the few remaining uncensored performance festivals in the US.

As major art institutions continue to play it safe and impose their political agendas on the artists, POW! POW! POW! declares, once and for all, total freedom of expression with no limits and no strings attached.

Now an internationally renowned festival, this third edition of the original POW! will bring together an array of local and international multigenerational action artists more willing to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Designed and run by artists, this year’s festival was irreverently curated by co-founders Alyssa Lee, gal*in_dog aka Guillermo Galindo and Guillermo Gómez Peña.

Re: To the Other Side of Dreaming: Finding Housing & PuttingDisability Justice Into Practice

Hey Frank!
It’s my pleasure every time. How are you feeling? Did you like the sexy nurse picture I sent?
-c’fred
ps – It’s probably a bad time to try and move to California. So many cuts to disability services, etc. I interviewed one of the Arnieville organizers. It’s on my youtube channel. Just do a search at youtube for CAPTAINFRED999 and you’ll find all of my stuff.

* * * * *

I thought about that, captain. But on the other hand, there are always a thousand reasonable reasons not to jump. You just have to just jump sometimes [most times]!

do you mean the photo you sent with the cds? You know how to brighten up my day!

* * * * *

Dear Frank,

Yes that is the picture to which I am referring. I know what you mean about making a leap. I did it in 1979 when I moved from Troy NY to Berkeley. I had about $500 to my name and no job and limited prospects. I just knew I had to get the f**k out of Troy. Luckily, it was the best move I ever made. No regrets there! -c’fred
ps – glad you liked the sexy nurse!

* * * * *

everybody needs to get the fuck out of Troy /Redlands /suburbs sometime, captain! Fred!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

Re: kittee

Hi Frankie,

Sorry to hear that Kittee passed on.

I can remember when I met him in 1993….
The first time I walked into the house he looked across the room and very loudly talked to me.
Later that night he found his way into the bedroom.
I awoke with him tip-toeing across the back of my pillow until he settled down and decided to curl up on the end of the futon for a little snooze.
Heaps of hugs to everyone,
Paul

cancer

(Stavros wrote:)

Shit! I have cancer (prostate) I don’t worry they found it early on. I have PSA checked annually. It has not stopped me in my attacks on Carly Fioina. I haven’t call a candidate slime since Kerry ran for president. It fits her perfectly. My friend got her lay off notices on Christmas Eve from the scrooge Carly.

* * * * *

hey, Stavros… Trying to upstage me by having Cancer, eh? You win! Neither of us have to die to prove something!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

Condolances

Thinking of you, here in West Virginia, when I read about your cat.
So sorry that you loose this precious member of your family.
Better to have loved and lost…
Blessings.
Annie
Sending world’s sexiest and biggest flower for funeral. by email.

yes, Annie, we miss him. But we had time to hang out with him. You lost your cats in the fire without a warning. That must be harder.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
