Re: REACHING, EXPLORING, MELTING is up on YOUTUBE!

Hey Frank,

Reaching, Exploring, Melting? sounds like you're on your way to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. But seriously, great show.

My first instinct is to say it takes courage to give a performance like that, but upon further consideration, you are just being you. It's weird to say that being ourselves is a courageous act. I think a more accurate way to describe the situation is that being ourselves is a normal, healthy act (as long as we don't hurt others). However, if being ourselves means going against cultural norms, than we might be perceived as courageous... or just crazy. So your performance actually says far more about society than it does about you.

But frankly Frank, I just think it's fun to be a part of. Looking forward to the next show.

Sincerely, Jeff

nothing better than the perfect grilled sandwich!

i agree about the courage bit. it is just doing the job of an artist. saying it is courage is actually a part of the process of draining power from the work by distancing it. what it actually is is taking responsibility for pushing against walls.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
