Re: A NEW [SECOND] CHANNEL COMING TO LUVER!

Happy New Year!

Sign me up for two autographed copies of the hardcover edition of "Art of a Shaman".

One will be as a gift for a friend.

Hope everyone is well.

sure, Paul! We are just finishing putting it together. We don't even know how much a copy will cost exactly. And autographed copy will require it to be shipped to me to sign and then we will mail it to you rather than the printer shipping it directly to you [extra cost]. BUT YOUR ONLY SEX GOD WILL AUTOGRAPH AS MANY COPIES AS YOU WANT!

A NEW [SECOND] CHANNEL COMING TO LUVER!

we here are busy preparing for the new year! We have made new backdrops for the performances. You have to come to the performances to see them!

We are putting the finishing touches to the hard cover color illustrated [tons of photos!] edition of ART OF A SHAMAN... That has been decades in the making!

And today we have bowed to popular demand and started working on creating a second channel to LUVER. Don't worry! The original LUVER will still be here, still expanding!

But I will have my own channel where I can play my personal favorites! As most of you know, for years I have done the show FRANK SPINS HOT WAX and over the week between Xmas and New Years, I traditionally hijack LUVER to make LUVER into my personal party, shaped by my personal whims and tastes. But LUVER is a communal tribal channel, wide open to everything that is going on musically and every other way. And that is extremely important.

So I will be partying 24/7 on FRANK'S DEEP ROOTS MUSIC CHANNEL! If you like HOT WAX, you will love my DEEP ROOTS! They satisfy! They rock! They'll make you feel good, warm, cozy, happy, sexy, etc. you may dance, sing along with a nasty smile! Corny horny? Yes! But it will be hard to be depressed! I would be a millionaire if I could bottle this stuff!

Now we just have to get the channel up! Stay tuned!

"I think our bodies are bacon cheese burgers. Our bodies are meant to be loved and play with, to have fun with. They are instruments of love"

Now, why don't I get any girl "Frankly" telling me that ?

Guess I don't know the right girls :D

You lucky beast, Frank :)

well, i never have believed in the concept of THE RIGHT GIRL... Or in RIGHT.... Or in GIRL... or in GETTING...

my write-up! see you at 3 pm.

Hey Frank--here's my write up! See you at 3 pm.

I came to “Uncomfortable Zones of Fun” because I wanted to see what performance art could be. It was actually one three performance art pieces I went to see that weekend. Walking into the space decorated with brightly colored paintings, strange costumes, and the artist himself, Frank Moore, sitting in a wheelchair communicating through an interpreter set the stage for my discomfort. As the night went on with narrative from the artist, questions and challenges for the audience, and performances from fellow artists opened me up a tiny bit to what was going on. Some acquaintances ducked out early. They were offended. I told my friend I wanted to stay just a little longer. As I said this a non-descript man sat next to me and started slowly shedding cloths while donning a woman’s wig and lipstick. This made it more clear that I was still right there with the discomfort. As the artist came to me to ask me my first question of the night I decided I wanted to claim what I was feeling, I value authenticity. I responded I was uncomfortable and in saying this it began to dawn on me. The artist who must had made many people uncomfortable in his lifetime was creating a space to express that and engage people in what they invariably turn away from in their life: personal differences such a disability, sexuality, and each other. In the moment I claimed what I was feeling I connected to some of what Frank was expressing. I just returned from a 4-month artists’ residency and I had spent the last six weeks looking for work to support my artwork. I hadn’t found anything and I was feeling beat and hopeless. That night something shifted in me. I felt like a whiney kid. Of course I can make my art, Frank proved to me despite monumental personal and societal obstacles you can express your deepest experiences by creating space for others.

what a great write-up, Maggie! glad that the performance gave you hope! Actually your staying gave you hope! And trust allowed you to stay! [btw, the masked guy (turns out to be an architect) has been coming to the performances for years to have a place to be nude at.]

and last night getting together with you in my studio was fun. And it was another milestone in my getting back to my normal work after not even being in my studio since May. I was still doing fine after our three hour session!

so when do you want to come back? We could read my ART OF A SHAMAN, the lecture I wrote in the early nineties for NYU. It may answer some of your questions. We are now getting ready to put it out as a hard back photo book [with no money!].

Next week I am free Wednesday (jan fifth) at three o'clock P.M. does that work for you?
