Comments on: action, and slogans on t-shirts http://lindleanne.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/action-and-slogans-on-t-shirts/ some words and re-presentations Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:02:20 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Gregory http://lindleanne.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/action-and-slogans-on-t-shirts/#comment-4 Gregory Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:29:28 +0000 http://lindleanne.wordpress.com/?p=18#comment-4 From J.H.'s blog: After that touch of sobbing on the freeway, I went to see No Age play on a hilltop mansion that is usually just a porn set to play a Nike party (insert "you know you're in LA when" joke here). The soft brownblue valley smog haloed their sweaty faces; Dean was limping on a cane and Randy was sweating Guinness, they had just gotten off a plane from Ireland and came straight there to play. They headlined, so that meant by the time they went on, there were 100 people watching them and 450 shifffaced people waiting for port-o-lets. Everyone was too tan and thin and LA'd out that people watching was nil. I was hoping for a mountain lion to creep up from the manicured brush and eat someones dunks right off their feet. On the way back down in a party shuttle through the canyon curves the girl sitting in front of me projectile vomited an entire afternoon's fruity mix drinks on the back of the driver. When I got out, I noticed she had barf in her long eyelashes. Though that's really what the VIP van is for, is it not? From J.H.’s blog:

Fashion aside, I find your interest in the "actions speak louder than (name your popular 'non-action' alternative)" mantra fascinating. What do you feel properly constitutes an "action?" Is writing/engaging in discourse/documenting an action? Are blogs a form of action? Do they supplant or supplement action? Actions speak louder than t-shirt slogans.
