EXPERIENCE SALE
Life is experience, we are searching for more. We are beginning a process of
experience gathering - finding knowledge, wisdom, memories, community. Our
first step is to rid ourselves of the accumulated souveniers of half a
lifetime, hopefully to share with people willing to spend time. Thus we are
having an EXPERIENCE SALE:
On Saturday, June 22, 2002, noon-6pm Donna and I, Electric Hands will be
holding an
EXPERIENCE SALE of our paintings and access to our communities. This means
that you can purchase beautiful decorating and artistic experiences/services
(paintings, net.art) by providing us with a new experience. For example,
dinner with you at a resturaunt we have never been to before. A bicycle ride
with you to place we have never gone. A trip, a party, an adventure.
Please come and share.

Re: Open experience sale
Is that the best you can do? Your a sweet little man, but so inept at sarcasm.
Thanks for the advertising.

Re: [thingist] Re: RHIZOME_RAW: Open experience sale
So my teasing is not ok, yours is? Perhaps I find yours as nasty as you find
mine. Perhaps the reason I bark is there is no such thing as innocent teasing
in public. Notice your sentence "somebody else (besides just me) had fun" - the
question, at the expense of which person?
If your going to do some innocent teasing, then start out with a compliment and
a disclaimer like:
"Joseph, I think your experience sale is a clever idea, however, I think you
might find a little fun in this ditty I wrote because of all the promotion you
do"
As far as I can tell, you think I am an asshole. And from pretty much most of
your posts, you seem to think you are smarter then everybody. Which in my book,
makes you delusional. So why should I be nice to you?
