Since virtually none of us knows what the fuck Post-Neo really is (especially myself), what if we launch an investigation over the course of the Anti-Festival, each week a committee could volunteer or something to gather evidence in the form of testimonials, inquests, evidence from the Post-Neo archive (a couple thousand pieces of ephemera, work, and relics), séances, crazy oral myths with questionable origins, Post-Neo artwork and publications, random tangents introduced for no tangible reason whatsoever; and then publish our findings, however ambiguous and nonsensnsical, after the festival for our collective Anti-elucidation?
(in practice this could easily mean passing a video camera around for interviews while we hang out sometime and passing around archive folders in the living room; or could be something more grand and whimsical; whatever people would feel like doing.)
Yes? No? Maybe? eh?

the post-neo absurdists are a community of artists whose practices span text, performance and the plastic arts. their work picks up where the ecstatically nihilist tendency within the modernist avant garde left off.
lets shed cold antiseptic light on our doings. lets catalogue ourselves & our misdeeds so that other may know & fear our coming.
Verily, our path must be prepared with terror and confusion carved even into the living rock.
I propose that we define Post-Neo solely by what it is not. Here's a few things that I'm almost 100% sure we're not... well, maybe more like 74% but... y'know.
1. A bean that is sideways.
2. The etchings on a wet attitude.
3. Foam.
4. The opposite of foam.
5. Those rubber things that you used to get free in shreddies where you turn them inside out and put them on a table and then they boing up again and hit your brother in the eye.
Ellie would also like to point out that we are not a pelican wearing sandals and a sou'wester. She wishes we were though.
That is all.
We are most certainly not a bean that is sideways. We are always upright.
We MAY perhaps be foam, however; for two reasons:
1. Muppets are made out of foam.
2. I'm thinking of David Hartke's Earplug. That was a whole lot of foam.
We may perhaps be maoF however; or better yet, FLOAM (tm)!! NOTHING floats your loam like FLOAM(tm). FLOAM (tm)-- Better Than Foam!
Also we are not eroded Monopoly markers hacked up after 30 years by an alcoholic xebra with cattarh.
