At a typical Anti-Slam people put their name in a plastic swan or pitcher or some other vessel (Mangina's leg once) and I pick the names out at the beginning. People sign up, get on stage and perform for 6 minutes. Everyone "gets a 10!" There's everything" comedy, music, performance art, insanity, dancing and lots of drinking. A very celebratory atmosphere. When I'm at the Anti-Slam, I'm happy I'm alive.

Speaking of lousy shits w/ general knowlege of computers, any news on the Remy Chevalier front?
Who is that guy, and what can your average punter do to help?

Tonight is a "Half-Assed Halloween" open mike so you can come in costume if you like. Or don't. It's half-assed!

That "Remy Chevalier" is a fake profile created by my stalker, presumably the same person who, for 2.5 years, has been posting ads about me on Craigslist. They are scary, most likely schizo (cuz the stuff they write is sooooo insane) and should probably be in a straitjacket. The average person can walk me home from the Anti-Slam at night, flag fake ads on CL and be very cautious of whoever they friend on any online site.

Working two jobs, painting, putting on a play and just trying to survive means no time for hanging out at the 7th Precinct, waiting to talk to detectives every time this piece of shit writes something about me.

There is allegedly a London anti slam coming up, to which I was invited by Nathaniel Kidd. (Hopefully this link will work) www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=164641246886518 Are you connected to this in any way? Would you take offense if unauthorized "Antislams" started popping up in different cities all over the world?

And if anyone has an extraordinary ability with computers and/or private detective skills, I am all ears.

I saw that there is a London Anti-Slam but it seems the goal there, is to do stuff as crappily as possible and that there's still gonna be judging on who does what worse whereas the NYC Anti-Slam has a sweetness and earnestness that I'm not sure a "copy" could provide. Howevs, not offended and would be flattered if Anti-Slams popped up everywhere just as I'd be stoked if young girls started wearing elf ears to school.

Being Avant-Garde means doing everything before everyone else and never getting credit or money for it!

It sucks but the truly avant-garde can't help being that way. It's why most visionaries are miserable and poor, but probably mess miserable that those who have no original ideas!

On the telecom end I might be able to help. I don't understand stalkers because if you're out annoying artists that's time wasted not doing your own art and stalking does nothing to advance your own work. But I wanted to ask: got a couple all-time favorite Anti-Slam moments? I still cherish the "who's hotter, Batgirl or Catwoman" fight.

Absolutely. I love that guy. Rent is killing this city and landlords are getting away with murder. He's the best candidate out there.

I don't remember that moment, CC. Stalkers don't make their own art hence they're not worried about "wasting time." They are really delusional people who obsess over one person and that's all they do with their pathetic, wasted lives.
