hi frank

here’s the email i got from kpfa firing me from being a volunteer! the basic story is that i was a volunteer there one day last spring and took some food home from the station. both my roommate and i got food poisoning from the food i brought home and i emailed the owner of the restaurant where the food was from and asked him if he used any artifical ingredients , taste enhancers or any msg like substances in his food. i always know the reactions of my body from certain chemicals since i’ve been on a fasting/cleansing journey for several years now. my body never lies.. anyway, the restaurant owner had a real bullshit style of communicating and insisted that all his ingredients were of a ‘pure, top quality, natural and organic source’, though i knew this to be untrue. he was boldy lying and i called him on his insincerity , but told him i would NOT post any negative comments about his restaurant in a public forum such as yelp or other consumer blogs, because he was a small establishment, supporter of public radio, and the big chain restaurants get away with the same type of poisonous taste enhancers without bad publicity, though i was upset that his food made me sick, i still made that promise. anyway, shortly after, i got this email from kpfa…….

Hello Ava–

I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to tell you that you are no longer welcome to volunteer at KPFA. Your aggression towards an establishment that kindly donates food to
volunteers and staff during fund raising periods is/was uncalled for. Regardless of your personal feelings there is no place for this sort of behavior in an environment of mutual support.

(SAN FRANCISCO – October 15-18, 2009)POW! POW! ACTION Art festival 2009 is a 4 evening festival of new ACTION art works that will take place on Thursday October 15th, Friday October 16th, Saturday October 17th, and Sunday October 18th. Co-curated and produced by Alyssa Lee of group A and gal*in_dog AKA Guillermo Galindo, POW! POW! displays “cutting-edgy” work of performers and artists from the Bay Area, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Canada, and Germany.

” The ultimate artists response to the economic melt down…A tax payer/GOP friendly festival. No one penny of tax money ever used to produce it”. –POW! POW!

Translation = ” Real freedom of expression. No strings attached.”

One of the few uncensored festivals in the US, POW! POW! is presented as a response to the ways in which the art scene is managed in the Bay Area and the United States and to the bailout of “too big to fail” arts organizations. Artists have been forced to follow certain aesthetics in order to have their work presented in a gallery or a festival and obligated to create a specific type of work that follows the fiscal sponsor’s agenda. Thus, the sponsor gets either to censor the artist or to adapt the art to fit the organization’s specific agenda. The curators of POW! POW! devised a festival where the artist is encouraged to present work without restrictions.

The previous year’s festival, POW! 2008 mini performance art festival was a huge success, generating excitement for performance art and for uncensored expression from artists. This year’s POW! POW! has quadrupled in size and will be even more shocking!

Among many outrageous artists, POW! POW! 2009 will feature daring and controversial performers such as Frank Moore, Keith Hennessey, Michael Namkung, and many others. The content of these shameless pieces are all over the map, ranging from works about volcanic eruptions, underwater explorations of performative hygiene, photographs of souls, wearable art pieces, first dates, electro-mechanical soft sculptures, absurdist hip hop performances, art critiques, interactive video installations, Japanese-American Internment camps, and the ironic and sometimes brutal ideals we teach our children that we consider acceptable.

MISSION STATEMENT

POW! was founded by Kattt Atchley (formerly Kattt Sammon), Alyssa Lee, and gal*in_dog to promote action art. The first POW! was held in March 2008 in San Francisco. The festival was formerly called POW! mini performance art festival, but over time it became clear that what this festival aims to do is to produce and present ACTION art, so the curators/directors changed the name of the festival to POW! ACTION art festival. Each year the curators will add a POW! to the name, hopefully making the 10th POW! ACTION art festival read as POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! ACTION art festival. Or, POW! to the 10th power ACTION art festival.

The POW! POW! festival is not only original in its aesthetics but also in its grass roots community organized model, which is very different from the top down model that has been applied to the arts through Art Organizations over the last 20 years. POW! POW! Is a viable alternative to other conventional performance art festivals and venues. POW! POW! is an invitation to play and experiment new and controversial ideas in front of an audience. The festival is a long time project that creates a community establishing partnerships between artists who believe their performance art doesn’t belong to any pre-established categories.

Barb Aura sent you a message on Facebook…

Subject: Amazing People…I fuckin’ love those kind!

Thank you so much for having us over! It was great to meet you, Linda & Mikey. I have to admit, I was afraid that Jon & I might be too boring for your show…but from the outset, we both felt like we were just having a conversation with new friends. That’s a pretty wonderful way to feel. We walked away smiling from ear to ear and truly look forward to another
conversation with you (plural). I think we will all have more to say to one another, and I promise I won’t edit myself next time!

Jon ate the whole cupcake last night because he was starving. Tell (Janet?) it was delicious! I’m finally making the strawberry rhubarb pie tonight – but I have to finish painting the bedroom first. I love painting…even if it’s just a wall or a ceiling…it lets your mind wander, y’know?

Warmly,
Barb

shucks, barb! That is my job on the show … To make people feel like they can talk deeply about life. That never is boring!

unedited barb… Now that sounds exciting !

Re: A NEW SHOW ON HTTP://WWW.LUVER.COM!

Frank,

I’ve been on a pretty transformative trip lately… a lot of chaos in the air… so I have changed the setup of my show once again.

I’m still doing a version of The Rampler on WFMU, but for the Internet, I have switched over to “The Overnightscape Underground”. My new philosophy is to treat it less as a “show” and more of a “casual audio place”… but the bottom line is, the recordings are very similar to The Rampler…

http://onsug.com

There is some varied audio stuff in there, but the tracks that start with “ug” (like “ug: System 9”), starting this month, are the ones that are continuing in the tradition of The Overnightscape and The Rampler.

Anyways, just figured I would let you know…

Thanks,
Frank

that also has been my philosophy, Frank!

(Ava Bird wrote:)

i agree, kpfa sucks!

i was surprised how lousy it was when i moved up here and expected something similar to LA’s KPFK, which is WAY better than the sleepy yuppie non-sense of kpfa. plus, they banned me from being a volunteer at the station! how’s that for ‘community, progressive’, uh, um, public radio?…

* * * * *

yep, over the years KPFA has tried [unsuccessfully] to force LUVER from events we both were covering.

Also it has a “self-censorship ” policy on late night shows even when legally you can say anything at that time of night.

So why did they bar you from volunteering, Ava?

CHAPTER 14

Fuck it! A new chapter! A new page turned! Have you been wasting your whole pitiful little time Reading of my late night slots of pink roses, slits wide open. Well, too late! Your whole pitiful little future is disturbing! Shall we go on?

I like looking into pussies whatever color of trim, or shaved hairs from your skirts. But that does not define what my companion is, or my life and spirituality and why this powerful screw beat loudly. I am not definitely not surrounded by people based upon folds of skin, colors of the bodies, or whatever else painted by nobody. But I screen people to see if they want to get booked up with my whole body, if they are available, practical, willing to jump into possibilities and fully play together within intimacy… Playing adventures, dancing nude, sliding warm juicy sweaty rubbing aroused, smiling outside of themselves, loving life, willing to risk all kinds of ridiculous poems for me, willing to stay together within experimental play together. I don’t have a tape measure for tits, cocks, noses and all other body parts! If you see someone with such a policy of tape measuring, run! We all came from Africa! Yes my companion is willing to melt into possibilities and fully sexual experience with my cock. Well among various other things!

Can I look up your pussy? I don’t really know why we cannot talk that directly. I’ll promise you I will. I don’t really know why the naked female nipples are so dangerous that they need to be covered at all times or reality crumble! All the hill of milky white, sunburn golden brown, Shining black beauty, or whatever comfortable colors of the Nursing infant… Hills of warm juicy flesh pleasure hot can be uncovered bosom of Emma. But the reddish brown tip nipple with the orange yellow surrounding circle of desire of magical orchids have to be covered /hidden under the command of taboo or else everything will go wacky into chaos of the likes of Emma! But this death ray can be squelched by the sheerest of fabric. Of course some dangerous imagination magnified of desire will leak out of sheer spirits. I can travel the thread that has the birth /pleasure hole, the hard satisfaction wand and the grunt outlet all taboo, hidden vices passages… If I squint and get tipsy and twisted perverted blues emotional problems with eating by mouth of my philosophy. After all shitty form of frustration, and sewage pissed flowing green, and crimson blackish patches spread on white underwear and all dirty fun smelly and sewage fish terrified beyond imagination, magnified everything else painted upon folds of skin. I can travel that perverted blues emotional problems with certain faculties of noise of thunder farts. Even if I love a good shit of all colors and shapes comprised between teenybopper and heckle and consistency. But the beautiful warm juicy nipple, the source of the mammal milk of life! What sort of dangerous imagination ray comes from the source of food and comfort? Zones of passion hidden behind taboo, hidden behind vices passages fester twisted perverted blues emotional problems with breathing IMPAIRMENT fatigue, obnoxious flakes of ice separated us from ourselves into conflict with certain destruction, massacred of passion. This is why I look straight up taboo, down blouses, up skirts. Underwear and bras are dams storing up this puss of the mammal unknown freedom, hidden parts of our life including being dirty. They block breathing of hidden parts. Dark depths of hidden bodies melting into juicy nipple are locked up. And nobody asks WHY. Dark magic of fragmentation is why… For isolating explosion of pent-up frustration, smolders in a strange hissing noise of the process of transferring.

What is between F and CK? You know! You just said the word in your mind. Most people over ten would have just said the word in their mind. Even !@#% would have triggered this word in minds. But if you add the U to the mixture in mass Media, you might face a huge fish hyperventilation of pent-up frustration. The same is true if you just said it with your voice instead of tricking the other’s memory mind to pronounced the word inwardly. Nobody ever question this dark magic! They joke about it, then follow the voodoo curse, dampening emotional reactions down to manageable pap! This is the real goal of fragmentation. Kids are cited as who’s protected by the darkness of pent-up frustration. But if this Kid knows what !@#% or F-CK are, he /she is already damned silly. And kids ask about !@#%. So what is the use? And damned silly thirstily-smiling in real life!

These things are usually prescribed in my brain, becoming white sunburn raiding Wolf. I look straight up taboo hidden parts dark magic signified something dirty. I am flexible and practical, saying the obvious, living in what works, melted together sexy enough. I know how life works. But I don’t have a clue about how most people unhappy operate… If they operate under half gone assumptions or whatever! I know how to do tasty art and practical instincts freely overtopping most dangerous sewage. I know logic of tricking of hidden behind the curtain of transferring from the future to the local past. Sufferings ain’t my thing. Fear is healthy if it last less than five minutes. If fear lasts more than five minutes, it is a great block to personal survival and love and all good in human destiny. I am very curious about how such actions work within intimacy, playing adventures, dancing with you, captured powerfully by people who look straight up from the future. Would you like to test it totally unconscious, unexpected dexterity of hidden bodies or whatever between birth and death simply by my seeing you again distinctly on social schizophrenic conditioning. I hope you will!

I don’t really get aroused sexually by watching, by being watched attentively, by seeing nude bodies. I know I proclaimed I was an exhibitionist! I lied! It was hype, a trick of shamanism. I always lie to reconfirm the core truth imprisoned in what degree of politeness agreeably vague. I don’t care to be seen, to be watched attentively. I use it. But it doesn’t arouse me sexually. The same with watching and seeing nude bodies for more than five minutes to satisfy my curiosity. Not really a voyeur either. There are lots of kinds of arousal. I enjoy seeing nude bodies. It artistically turns me on, comforts me, makes me feel good. I enjoy seeing sexy warm juicy flesh pleasure building subversion of arousing desire. It artistically turns me on. But what arouse me sexually, keeping my drift up is touching nude skin warm handling of arousing rubbing friction enliven warmly welcomed to satisfy my curiosity about these Caves of our life, free from rust and more excited and sneaky and that wondering intensified self-confidence and willing bodies melting into juicy sweaty rubbing gently upon my credulity and bob up and down… Going right inside pleasure hole, just cuddling radically and also small intimate sacks of cotton and seeing nude sliding on whims of arousing desire. Will you unbutton all morality and love it? Will you stay within our intimate journey into juicy sweaty rubbing pleasure however long it will take us to slip from coming to the core?

This is a very long chapter. Was it worth it? Just hinted at my motel room for casting my performance of taboos. Just try to capture all of this while you be a female me! Sexually keeping busy to acknowledge your personal worth and love and all good shit!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
