Pre-Performance Documentation of Jeff Foye and Gordon Winiemko’s Soundwalk Piece
Saturday night’s performance went great - I was too busy performing with my partner, Jocelyn, as we wandered about the Soundwalk, continually arguing about our search for Jim and Lisa. I was “P II”, the Type-A personality, obsessed with making our meeting which was perpetually in 30 minutes, and Jocelyn was “P I”, the mellow, laid back one. I really enjoy any performance that I can participate in where I can drink on the job. Darren was partnered up with Carleton Christy - apparently at one point their performance included Carleton yelling all the way down the block, as he tried to locate the fictional Jim and Lisa. The best part of the performance was getting to make total strangers visibly agitated - something I’ve been doing on an impromptu basis in supermarket lines for years - I knew that practice would be useful someday.
I know this doesn’t explain the project, but that will have to wait for Jeff and Gordon to get the documentation all processed. I can’t wait to hear the audio - it’s either going to be super great, or I’m going to feel super silly.
at top - Jocelyn and Darren get their drink on and their nerve up in preparation for the performance.

it was the fall of 2004 — the election was underway, and i was overwhelmed by culture shock after arriving in irvine from SF — i used to cause quite a ruckus in line at the local trader joe’s.
