Re: N.C. Mountain State Fair to Celebrate 10th Birthday in 2003


I'm sorry Curt,
but I resent this.
don't really care that this has nothing to do with net art, the net or art. Sure, it's really important and healthy that a community should try and grow through sharing broad interests and social, easy-going stuff. But where the hell is NC? I've never heard of NC is that somewhere in america (giant trucks are mentioned)? I have gathered that I am obliged to learn some trivia like zip code nonsense in order to make sense of the mass media that the US dominates. But the Rhizome community should have more egalitarian ambitions because of our use of the WORLD wide web. After all, I wouldn't invite you to local east london social events without making clear very early in the message that they were in London and that London was in England.
Remember there are three W's.

I do hope you enjoy your party in NC.
