Favorite Event of 2003:

href="http://www.fadetogloss.com/">O.two: Going to Berlin, and
accidentally getting to be part of the Streetwise2 show. I spent 7 days drunk
and in the company of gifted artists, creating some really amazing art. And
hopefully tomorrow night’s Metallica concert.

href="http://www.www.dapropaganda.cjb.net/">Da!: giant robot’s
opening in SF. finally gettin my own studio. purchasing a G 5

/>Toilet Boy (from filth
gallery): filth radio getting raided, filth gallery getting in the
nexspapers and falling in love with violet from filth. she is the most beautiful
person in my world. Finally cockboy getting arrested for trying to touch up a
policewoman!

Matt Sewell: Thats gotta be Finders Keepers.
Especially the first when everyone went mental at the end and battled each other
for the pieces. Also i gotta mention Postex in brighton, which had amazin’
artwork from all over the world and basically turned into a 3 day piss up with
big d…

href="http://www.inventati.org/apb/abbominevole2.htm">ABBOMINEVOLE:
I think that ARTEIMPROPRIA
was a wonderful event and also a great input for Italy sleeping art
world.

href="http://www.fotolog.net/nano4814">Nano4814: Probably the
opening of subaquatica store in Madrid.
More the fact that it opened than the actual opening itself (to where i didn?t
go!!) Sergio and the crew are starting to develop some interesting projects,
can?t wait to see what comes throug! Best events ever: Improvised street
happenings!!!
