or, the ray johnson virus: yeah, yeah, so i broke down and rented the ray johnson movie: "How To Draw A Bunny" (not an easy task from the backwaters of rural canuckistan i'll tell ya) ... recognized lots of bill wilson photograghs (or were they rain rien nevermind's?) ... what a beautiful man! (even in the later videos: what year were they made?) almost expected bill himself to come on: that would have been a thrill! alas, he remained behind the scenes... did they downplay ray's mail-art activities? and did i see a "copyleft" image? lots of add to and return but not so many add to and pass? xerographic multiples! hmmm, well, the big question is: will bill wilson ever forgive me? would he rather i left for good?
