Nashville or bust! Back soon . . .

Not completely sure yet how this fits into my research project, but I'm off to Nashville next week to do an internship at Hatch Show Print. Leaving tomorrow, and getting there via LA and Vegas. (http://www.hatchshowprint.com/ . . . if you're interested)

I won't be back until the end of January, so I'm going to close off the comments options on all the posts except this one. Spam is out of control and I can't be arsed deleting the literally thousands of spam comments this site would attract until the time I get back. Anyone who really might have anything interesting to say about this blog should please leave a comment on this post (whether it relates to it specifically or to some earlier post).

Some quick things I wanted to mention before I go . . .

Camp. What exactly is 'camp'. My recent work has been called camp by an architecture student whose office is next to mine. I was of course horrified, but she's suggested I read Susan Sontag's bit on camp . . . so I'm taking that with me. When I thought about it, a lot of the monsters I like are camp (I think?) ñ 'camp' and 'nostalgia'?

Also, when I get back, 'The Hi-Aces' are to be relaunched as 'Grand Saloon'. . . part of my plan to potentially make the band a part of my research.

So cheers, merry christmas, new years, . . .
