Update #1: 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
