Breath Mints and conversation tips




Instructions for making new connections and striking deals.

Have you been invited to a party?
Learn how to talk,
dress and behave.

Step 1

Relax.

Step 2

Learn to overcome the obstacles between you and great conversations. Shyness, insecurity, language or speech problems, and nerves can be minimized through study, training or therapy.



Step 3

Enrich your store of conversational topics. Current events, movies and books, food and restaurants, music, psychology, and hobbies are all rich sources.

Step 4

Practice the art of conversation with people you trust. Try out a new topic, a new manner of speaking, a new interest or improved storytelling on them.



I dont usually get invited to polite parties, no printed invitations for Mediterranean dinners, no gardens for sipping Beaujolais or tasting brochettes of melon while boats roar with prosciutto and mozzarella. I have never brought a bottle of wine, mapped the mingle pattern nor warmed a house with my presence.
My cozy presence has , with more confident friends, bum crashed a few polite parties munching for the bruschetta and sniffing for the free coke. I smile shyly and stuff my surplus messenger bag with bottles of Marker's Mark, Grey Goose and Stoli.
I am hopeless.


Step 5

Read newspapers and magazines; watch new and different television programs; attend more plays, lectures or even classes.

Step 6

Jot down what you find interesting about what you learn, people you meet and what you've read. Practice talking about those topics.

Step 7

Learn some opening lines that will lead to discussions and memorize them until they come out naturally: "You know, the other day I noticed how many people wear (glasses) (all black) (the same outfits) (bad ties) ....







" what is your medium?"
" Umm... I dont know, anything. really."
" He is a photographer, he is always carrying a camera."
" Oh a photographer."
"No, I mean, I am not that good.. with a camera."
" You should really learn to talk about your art. How are you going to get an exhibit or representation?"
" Umm... ya, your right ... nice to meet you, thanks."

I am hopeless, what can I say?


I make spit art... its multi-snot.
I will use any material available to me, if you left a half gallon a paint by the side of your house or in an open bulk head, I took it . I will use nails, boards rotting wood, crusty paint brushes, abandon houses, paper, canvas, dirt, moss, flour, salt , skin scurf.
I am not afraid of technology, I use any cheese ass computer program I get access to and it shows.

'A PostModern Fashion Show'




There isn't exactly a lot of green space in the fair hamlet of Allston, MA, so to the average non-resident bystander, Ringer Park may seem like nothing to particularly write home about. But to Allston residents, this lovable hillside that's occasionally littered with broken glass and canine turds is all we've got, SO BACK OFF ALRIGHT?

That being said, this Saturday, things at Ringer get even better - there will be live rock music in the Park. Yes, it's true! As far as I can tell, Saturday's event will be some sort of local artisan and creativity showcase featuring a flea-market of some sorts, ...... with lots of noise, sweat and yes, possibly, even a little bit of fun. All in all, this show should be an interesting experience in broad daylight.

Ringer Park


On June 13, my friend, comrade and all around amazing human Dave Eger put together the first of his semi-legal events at Ringer Park in Boston's improper Allston hood.

'A PostModern Fashion Show' an afternoon of local bands, art, homemade brownies and people giving away objects they have no use for anymore.


I am designing images for the next event. Here are my drafts with no text yet...
