    some extra information in loose conversation.

    JACKIE: oh man. this is great.
    i can't watch the video yet. as i have a roommate and she's heading to sleep
    so i don't have the full idea yet. but man. how'd you think of this?
    ME: im crazy
    ba haha
    JACKIE: you're thinking of this for you?
    ME: you better get used to writing handwritten letters madame.
    JACKIE: you're an interesting lady. very interesting.
    this is really great
    ME: thanks.
    pass around to people who may like it....
    support it
    but others in the world
    ya know?
    multiply the word further than the immediate
    trying to not tell close el ay friends,...cause...
    then its all they will talk to me about
    id rather them not dwell on it im already doing that
    does that make sense?
    im starting with telling people i dont know first hand, other audiences.
    my original idea was to make it a surprise but it needs the symphony of collaborators.
    not posting on facebook really puts a glitch in the spread but makes it interesting as well.
    i wish i could watch the word of mouth multiple visually from aerial view perspective.
    JACKIE: yea this is really something else
    billboard art
    ME: but they arent to scale billboards
    they are custom
    and none will be official billboard size
    the biggest size is 20' x 8' and it trickles down slowly with a few same size ones.
    i dont think i can paint higher than 8' tall
    JACKIE: ohh. maybe one should be to scale
    and leave it there
    ME: there are limitations cause i will be alone,but yea some are bigger than billboards in the odd
    proportions that they are.
    there have been some interesting changes in the building plans due to desert wind and my own
    strength, alone.
    the land...is also, most prob going to be lent to me
    JACKIE: this is great
    you should write about this. if this happens there should be so much writing
    ME: what do you mean so much writing like during the year?
    JACKIE: oh yea
    ME: dude,..i plan on being a literary genius in that time
    haha
    and i have to believe it will happen.
    JACKIE: great
    ME: the test of creative undistracted time
    reading the most and writing the most
    and painting the most
    probably making videos and misc things, one year.
    ill probably have to read aloud
    to keep talking
    JACKIE: but nobody to inspire. all just you
    true
    you'll talk to birds
    ME: the books and letters will be my inspiration
    and quiet
    and land
    JACKIE: i gotta close this comp up. my roommate is sleeping and im typing away
    i can write to you?
    you'll get mail?
    ME: of course, ill set up a po box or something
    ill talk to you soon, im gonna watch a movie now
    its been a long week
    good to see you !!
    JACKIE: great thinking here
    good to see you too. thanks for driving for dinner
    see you in april time
    i'm gonna think about this farm idea and get to sleep
    later
