6.23.2002 November 4th and 5th The Circle Bar New Orleans There was a time when I could eat oysters. Documented here. Twice since this photo was taken I spent the night returning all oysters consumed through plumbing back to the sea from whence they came.  Casamentos  Franklamentos  Jennamentos  Our gracious host...Picumentos tour haikus by Franklin From a common pot, rice and beans--welcome to our tour, Andrew Webster & In the birthplace of jazz, I scarf oysters and buy rare new wave singles Nov 6th...Athens Georgia Nuci's Space tour haikus by Franklin Athens--doctors give cheap advice to musicians, which is so punk rock Kerickie is cruel but 'Buffy: The Musical' is quite well-written Nov 7th Atlanta GA, The Shitty Club with the drunken Owner  Andrew next to a character with more brains than the Atlanta club owner. This is what I think of rock clubs in Atlanta. tour haikus by Franklin leaves and nations fall but some things stand firm--a drunk club owner won't pay & we leave our host's door open this morning; cat lost in Little Five Points & Jenny gets a call from Ira Glass--we are all pretty damn impressed Driving Day Alabama: free jazz on late nite radio?

It was focused on the Public Commons and sponsored by the Center for the Public Domain. For two days I walked around in a cowboy hat taking furious notes while surrounded by a who's who of international smarty pants academics and a tenacious omni-present Japanese film crew. Franklin and Andrew stayed behind to bask in the knowledge (and when the conference wasn't happening...the BBQ) while the rest of my band beat a swift retreat home to girlfriends and home-life. You can watch the panels here. http://www.law.duke.edu/pd/realcast.htm Highlights include: From Anarchist Software to Peer 2 Peer Culture: The Public Domain in Bandwidth, Software and Content. http://www.law.duke.edu/pd/realcast.htm Creativity, Appropriation, Culture and The Public Domain was pretty great. Mark from Negativeland really took this one over. My panel...Public Domain Activism was a little over-booked but it's fun to watch if you are interested in seeing me look intimidated. This was really a world series type event. tour haiku by Franklin Conference at Duke academics leaning left like Carrboro trees & Soft beds, good bourbon and a pheasant in the yard: That's the Maiolos.
