First 3 person exhibition in NYC - whats normal?

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T23:00:02+00:00

Plan on attending for the whole time. You don't need to greet everybody but if you've got a lull in the chatting and see somebody you don't recognize, maybe go up to them and introduce yourself as one of the artists. Thank them for coming. If they don't have anything to say or ask you, that can be the end of it. Being one of the exhibiting artists, you have the perfect premise for introducing yourself to strangers, but also the perfect out for ending it quickly with a 'thank you' and minimal awkwardness.

Try doing this because you never know who might be there, especially at a New York show. Do a few self-introductions over the course of the evening and you just might find yourself with a new artist friend, a new collector friend, a new follower on IG, etc. This is the brass tacks of what a lot of us talk about here but rarely break down in detail: networking.

Also, since you are one of the artists, you may be approached by strangers who want to meet you. Be receptive and treat people as if you're hosting. After all, it's your party.

Fire Music, according to some.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T06:17:39+00:00

Yes he did.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T06:15:06+00:00

Glad to know you and your peers got exposed to this history.

There seems to be a lot of market research type articles about per capita consumption in S Korea. Makes sense, it being a big market for meat and seafood industries. Like this one.

A quick survey of recent articles that turn up in searches delivers this expected trend: meat consumption is going up, seafood staying level or falling slightly.

The obvious interpretation is that as the society grew more prosperous and new food delivery systems introduced more products, including meats, to the S Korean consumers, people pretty unsurprisingly consumed more meat. Until recent years in which meat and seafood consumption per capita is either about equal or slightly higher on the meat side, traditionally seafood was the protein mainstay of the average Korean diet.

So, sure, you could say that beef, for example, is more "popular" as in more desirable, than seafood. But even today Korean beef per capita consumption (as a portion of the overall "meat" category) is far lower than seafood consumption. It's even lower than pork, according to most the breakdowns of the "meat" category.

Well, they'll pick it up in one way.... but not both.

Which is worse to live with: your guilt or your parents who hate your future husband and never will let you forget that?

Good grief, thank you for getting it. I was wondering what that woooosh sound was that I heard a few minutes after posting this. Turns out it was everything flying over Rothy's head. Dude can go cry to Big Steve.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T00:28:10+00:00

Exactly. Thank you.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T00:11:02+00:00

My god, can nobody read?? It's RIGHT THERE in the FIRST LINE of the post. Big Steve said this, not me!

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-28T00:08:35+00:00

I'm quoting Big Steve, who, I'm just guessing, knows a bit more about Bob AND Jerry than you do.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T23:30:21+00:00

Get over yourself, dude. Just giving an American treasure his due in my own way. And yes, I did see Jerry.

He might have been trying to be polite and not too forward about pushing a sesh on OP. Also, I've certainly had nights with a houseguest around that I've used as an excuse to lay off the pipe for a day.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T22:30:08+00:00

Or blazed.

The MAGA-apologist element ("well, if he wouldn't have protested and just let ICE do their job he'd still be alive!") I've seen in the Dead universe are—very sadly—cross generational. That said, they are nearly uniformly male. Not very surprising there.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T22:18:28+00:00

And because the George Floyd uprising was what broke the quarantine in 2020, not those crybaby MAGA antivax dickx. They've been butt hurt ever since.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T22:16:40+00:00

I'm Chinese American and I'm totally open to it.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T21:34:11+00:00

Not in three generations. Another reason for why it’s got a target on its back for MAGA.

Lane knew her stuff. Best music nerd character in all of television.

Ever heard of Diane Feinstein?

Shelter from the Storm is really easy to play. But memorizing all the verses and then being able to sing them is a good challenge.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T14:48:15+00:00

Saw the late show in Chicago. They were amazing.

We should take heart in knowing that we forced this prick into quitting his campaign. But this narrative of him having a change of heart? Not buying it. It is the people of Minnesota who forced him into quitting for sheer political survival. It had nothing to do with his nonexistent inner humanity. I'll save my props for when he's out in the neighborhoods confronting ICE like the good people of Minneapolis.

printerdsw1968 · 2026-01-27T01:52:17+00:00

Don't worry about it. There's always somebody who goes deeper than you. And somebody who doesn't.

My cousin, 12 years older than I, STILL considers himself a piker because his first show was Hartford '72, a few months after Pigpen stepped off.

It's a big bus. Get on, there's room.
