23 hours in NYC jail + random John Perry Barlow meeting

That was Friday. Popped for getting up.

23 hours later, I decided to cheer myself up by going to the most amazing restaurant, Blue Ribbon, where none other than one Mr. John Perry Barlow himself called me an 'incarcerated artist in America' upon overhearing my tale. He is an amazing person and writer, artist and activist, whom I have admired for decades. He was with Timothy Leary when LSD was first used, and was with Mr. Leary when passed decades later. We are friends now.

Plus booked monthly residencies, last Saturdays at Studio BPM in Brooklyn, and last Sundays at Nublu.




Still love NYC more than ever.

Shephard Fairey got up at 14th & P NW today

Apparently this is why Shephard Fairey was getting up on the outside walls at Logan Hardware earlier today. DECOY buys her paint there, and was super-fiz-gigged when she alerted me of his activities. People who work there (all DECOY fanclub members) did not know who he is, though he got permission to put these pieces up 6 months ago from the store's owner.

I first met Shephard in 1989 when he was in my friend Chase's dorm room at Parsons, visiting his pal Tony. They were making the very first 'Andre the Giant has a Posse' stickers; the ones that inspired a thousand and one bootlegs.

Shephard remembered that with me today. We chuckled. He's really nice.

foundation

I am establishing a 501(c)3 Natalie and Howard Goldstein Foundation, to support local arts organizations; details forthcoming in the next couple of months, as well as the announcement for a memorial 'event' which will include an art show of my dad's animals and my mom's sweaters, and opportunities for all who love us to speak your minds.

R.I.P. Dad

As many of you know, my Dad valiantly fought cancer for several years. This morning he passed away, peacefully.




Thank you for all of your support. Memorial plans to be announced soon.

Love.
