Kismet Arts Tangent

December 30th I had some friends over for a salon. I presented information and story about self-instruction cards as told to me by a new friend named Oliver as well as this book The official guide to success. Kevin and Dominique shared duet, Kevin with his field recordings collage and Dominique with a kind of authentic movement. Andrew presented some funny poetry from a few years ago. Annikah told the story about resume fabrication and the moral implications. Mike talked about two important questions he’s working on regarding quantum physics involving entanglement, freewill, true randomness. Ethan talked about his way to stave off dementia through the art and science of table steel tuning.

Throughout the evening we had a lot of connections and conversations about the different offerings. The feedback was that should have started a couple hours earlier because we have ran over 2 hours. I feel like I made that decision consciously but I also appreciate that other is an expectation at my events that I am much better at running time then this would indicate. I suppose I felt like there was a generosity towards the latecomers in instead of a generosity towards the people that have to wake up early. Next time I’m definitely interested in being the whip cracker of time. For positive feedback, there was a lot of camaraderie and merriment. People were asking when the next one is and I was thinking in March.
