Weil in Providence bzw. schon wieder zurück in Austin, habe ich die Flarf-Abende verpasst, die Gary in New York veranstaltete. Hier sein ausführlicher Bericht.

Immerhin hat er mir den hier beschriebenen Film gezeigt, der hinreißend war:

The next film, Brandon Downing’s 22 minute extravaganza, “The Diabolical Haunting”--which included everything from an extended scene from Yaadon ki Baaraat to slowed down commercials, to Miles Champion's introduction to Clark Coolidge played over black & white footage of an old man on his deathbed--blew everyone away. I don’t know how many different films Brandon had collaged into this piece, but I do know he worked for two months to get everything perfect. It was worth the effort.

Zu flarf und was das alles (nicht) zu bedeuten hat Einträge bei boingboing und auch in Bruce Sterlings Wired-Blog sowie, viel ausführlicher, hier.

Und dann noch das mythische Gründungsgedicht:
