Nada Motel cometh...

It has come time for the Nadaists to end the era of herding artists for participation in our event–we have 30 motel rooms filled at this moment, some have multiple artists exhibiting. Though, if you ARE an artists of some kind, and would like to exhibit, it's not too late. Go here: tribes.tribe.net/nadamotel

But I'm here right now to tell the general public–the audience, if you will–about this funktastical event. It's true, last year the event was called Dada Motel, named after the anti-artist anarchists of the famous international art movement which started between World Wars–and why is that capitalized?

It's a great name, I know, we had a brand to promote, I know, we even have some attitudinal similarities to the Dadaists, but ya' know, why be normal? Does anyone really need another antiseptic art festival with slushies and balloon twisters on street corners, hand-painted ties and caricature artists, people with happy pins to sell you and bumperstickers that say "support the arts"? Is art a charity? Is it only that? Should we poor artists be asking you for money because art is so frickin' important?

I say no. Art is an action, art is not a charity, art is in your face and it's not all pretty, not all happy, and it doesn't go with your sofa. Art lives and breathes and takes many forms, but it IS for everyone, even the hand-painted tie lovers, but it's also for the fire loving furry people with face paint and smoke rings, toe rings and ringtones, hoola-hoops and nipple rings and ring tones, ton-loc and T Lo, J Lo, G Lo and below, because folks, I don't even know what to tell you to expect. Just come. June 26th thru 29th, Hotel El Cortez and Town House Motorlodge. Noon to Midnight (individual room times may vary)

Oh yeah, FREE.

Again, here's our site. Go there, ask questions, make fun of the kid with big ears:
