- sorry Chad.... forgot to answer you ....I've got 42 monthly media contacts on my list.. mostly N. Calif.... but the via and sunset mixed in.... I'm hoping that N Calif media will see this as kind of event travel... why not go to Vegas and see some great art as well as worship with the one-armed bandits?

- Ann, I'm guessing Via was your PR work, thanx mucho! LV media.. they actually got it on time this year, unlike last year... but even LAST YEAR they were ALL OVER US!!! So, I'm thinking they will and I'm sure you've got a bunch more addresses than I do down there... in fact... how many have you sent out to? You can direct message me or email if you want.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
"SELECTIONS FROM DADA MOTEL" is in Reno Magazine in this month's (November's) issue. 2nd to last page in the "Buzz" section. This is the part of the mag where you'll see "important" people schmoozing with wine in hand, chummy chummy raising money for charities or causes.
Well, since we're not a non-profit, we're a 'non-non-profit', the editor was hesitant; "what's your cause?". I convinced her that WE DO have a cause, we're just going about it differently. No business as usual here–DO IT YO DAMMSELVES ARTISTS!!! it worked! She said she could get behind what we're doing!

Notes
This site will serve what purpose?
Let's talk about this concept of art in motel rooms and how this art event is different–and how to keep making it STAND OUT. What're we doing in these motel rooms, hmmm?? How much interest has there been? What's it like to attend this thing? Can other cities get involved? Who pays what to whom? When is check out time? If we find porn under the bed do we keep it?
People have a lot of questions to ask so ask away–or answer away–hell, do both.

Serendipity Gets It Upity
serendipity gets it uppity for me because it can feel great to be out of control, not calling the shots, that can feel great. I like art in that way and art making, you know, when a drip just works. Usually it turns out the 'accident' was better than you possibly could have planned out. Well, that's kinda how this show should be seen. 50 artists have exhibitions in rooms next to each other, there's gonna be some juxtaposed serendipity gettin' it uppity in hee-ah.
