The Summer is over, time is vengeful, and it is once more a flurry of activity here in New Brunswick. The transition from Festivalville to venue for 131 Howard is entering its final, cyclonic phase. So expect a number of new posts over the next few weeks by the New Jersey contingent, including both future events and (at long last) the rest of the documentation from the Anti-Festival, which we are in the midst of processing. Why not take this opportunity to get the blog going again with some stuff up here from the British, D.C, Ohio, and other various contingents... in the meantime:
Item #1: 131 Bayard now has a new name: ARTICHOKE'S. We have considered producing some kind of vaguely anthropomorphic thing who can be Capt. Artichoke, Lord Artichoke, Mother Superior Artichoke, or whomever.
Item #2: A schedule of events to take place here is beginning to materialise; more details will be forthcoming soon on these shows (especially that of Sept. 27 and that of Nov. 8). Other events may be added/changed/etc.
(Provisional dates in italics; confirmed dates in bold):
Sept. 26--Oct. 5: Exhibition-- 3-D Drawings from Post-Neo Anti-Fest, project by Spudnik Press
Sept. 27: The Ruined Frame (Rick Weaver, Baltimore), Krista Faist (Baltimore), Reid Bingham (Jersey), Aaron Howard (NY), some combination of us, possibly more.
Oct. 4: Poetry Night
Oct. 11--25?: Exhibition: Tsubasa Berg
Oct. 25: Poetry Night
Nov. 8--30?: Exhibition-- Cathy Mehrl Bennett, Kimonos
Nov. 8: Be Blank Consort, John M. Bennett, Kathy Ernst, Scott Helmes, Michael Peters, Geof Huth, and NJ Post-Neo.
This is what we have at the moment. Other plans under discussion include (but are not limited to) one or two nights of Post-Neo, SPART, Neoist, and other films and video; marathon session/s of reading aloud to each other; a New Jersey Premier of Lennard/Lennard/Lennard/& Lindsann's film Ubu Roi; and obviously whomever is able to make it out here to do something from someplace else.
Item #3: More Documentation soon!!!

Nobody expects SATURDAY!!! from Alan Reed.
And it is Saturday again. It is Saturday and so there are things that will happen. Things! The sorts of things that you expect to happen and the sorts of things that you do not expect to happen. Or perhaps it will be things that you do not expect to happen and then things that you expect to happen. It depends on what you expected to happen. This, you might not have expected this. It does not sound like what you expected to happen and yet it is almost Saturday. Saturday! Of course we are writing things and we are sending you things. And if these things are not the things that you expect us to write and the things that you expect us to send, well, that is pretty much what you expect of us, isn’t it? Hello. It is Saturday again. There are things that will happen. I am here. I will do things. I will read to you some things that I did not make and I will read to you a thing that I did make. It is about Orpheus. Warren Fry and Olchar Lindsann will help with the thing that I made and they will read to you some things that I did not make. They did not make these other things that they will read either. They are things that other people made. There will be things that other people made. There will be things made by Samuel Beckett and Mark Sonnefeld and Jacques Derrida and Tomislav Butkovic and R. M. Liuzza. Some of them will read the things that they made and others of them will not read the things that they made. Those are the things that will happen. Saturday. Seven o’clock. 131 Bayard. It is a nice house. And things will happen.
And then. On Sunday. Sunday! There will be things, things that you do not expect. We will go for breakfast. Because we do go for breakfast on Sundays. We may not go when it is time for breakfast but we will go for breakfast. We will go to The Hungry Pedlar. It is a nice place to go for breakfast. And after we go for breakfast we will go back to the house, the house at 131 Bayard, and we will do more things. More things! We will have tea and we will have cakes. Well, we’ll probably have coffee instead of tea. I know how to make a very good cup of coffee and I am not so good with tea. Coffee would probably go better. And the things. We will read things. We will talk about things. We will have things and it would be good if you had things too. It will be good. All of it. All of it will be good.

Evan Damerow was last seen headed south on Rt 18 to Celebration FL in a canoe dragged by two umbrella wielding mammoths. FL authorities have declared martial law in an attempt to put down bands of riotous, flame-throwing flamingos who've sworn fealty to this infamous PNA caballer. Inside sources report that Evan Damerow will be abandoning FL in June for New Brunswick where he will live with us at 131 Bayard St. the future home of New Brunswick Post-Neo! If you can read this YOU'RE ON THE POSSE! Help us bring this bawdy firebrand in for the justice he so rightly deserves (which should be easy considering he'll be our fourth roommate, and doubtless an integral part of the Anti-Official PNA Festival)! Which reminds me, when will you (who-ever is reading this) be headed down here? We need to know, specifically which weekends your thinking you can stay. Suspect is considered legged and extremely suoregnad!

AND THE DAY AFTER THAT... AND THE DAY AFTER THAT...
FUCK NJ-TRANSIT for not having any workable ticket machines at ANY station, AND for slapping a $5.50 surcharge at Newark Int'l Airport for NO FUCKING REASON. Ehem.
ALSO,
Hi boys and girls. I'm Tommy B and I'm the post-neo of the group.
Anyway, here are some photos of the newly acquired post-neoabsurdist anti-commune high-rise head[un]quaters.
This building will feature much boredom, obnoxiousness, absurdity, and certainty for those of you that are bourgeoise.
For those of you that are not; welcome to the home of myself, olchar, warren and evan.
Other news to be posted on a day not Saturday 15th, ADa 92.
Check out Frank Zappa if you haven't.
And while I'm whoring and dropping names, check out http://nationalinitiative.us

The House! 131 BAYARD!
It looks like we have a house! Behold! 131 Bayard St.- the new great hall for all JerseyPost-Neo affairs. Olchar Lindsann, Tomislav Butkovic and I have signed a lease and will move in on June 1st. It's a five minute walk from the NJTransit Railway Station (a 40 minute ride into New York City from there), two blocks from the Mason Gross Building CSB (home of Lost and Found Gallery and Rutger's MFA and BFA programs), and strategically located right next to downtown New Brunswick with all its shops, bars, and restaurants.
We are renting the entire house, which means that there will be no non-anti-art friendly house-mates. It has a large living room, a large dinning room which will serve as our gallery and performance space, and many other exciting features: a shed around the back, a blank billboard not 20 feet from the front door, multiple entrance and exit points, a strange and dungeon-ish basement, a half bath on the first floor, and as an added bonus there are no houses on either side of the property- meaning we can probably get away with a bit of noise! This will have to be tested before we go whole-hog however. It's also right next to the train tracks, which come roughly every half hour; we're already scheming towards incorporating the train schedule into performances. This is a huge increase in space for us and the rent is manageable. The living room provides us with enough room for people to crash- we'll have couches and lazy-boys and plenty of floor space.

Oh, the possibilities!
Although the basement's low ceiling (not to mention all the strewn rubble) make it to a bad fit for sustained performances or cabarets, its ideal for short exchanges and episodes within larger events: Meat Poems!?
Some exterior shots should be on the Blog soon so you can get a better idea of what we-your in for! This is a four bedroom and we are in contact with a few potential room-mates who would be wonderful additions to the new home of New Jersey Post-Neo.
Its been a whirlwind couple of days, Olchar and I have been up till 2 in the morning making fliers and adds for Fiddlesticks II, gathering supplies for the Silent Soiree and Imogene Engine reading, and hatching plots with friends- and then up again every morning at 6 for work! Exhaustingly essential efforts towards what promises to be an amazing festival!
I'm off to make some noise recordings with Tomislav, Olchar, and Chris Lennard (who's crashing with his band the Argonauts at our place this week). VIM VOM SHIRT!
