City in steam fog

The last days in the city have been so steamy , humid , like when you have to go down into the subway and you get that super hot blast of air - now you can get it by just stepping ... outside .
Coming back from BBQ at Billy Kluver's ol' house on Sat. night we could see the city with this heat fog cap across the tops of the tallest buildings ,
All the highway everything glowing or smeary in the haze.
I cannot remember there being such a stretch when it's stayed like this for days and days .
Well, tomorrow i go right into another hot city , Tokyo

Then I heard last night that after arriving Tokyo tomorrow , on the wkend we will be going out to the country for a tree house convention' ,
so that sounds pretty chill already ...
I take that as a sign this trip will be a great one.

So, if you are in Tokyo July 30th,
or Osaka July 29th , come on down to the Show

Will be back August 18
Cheers all and keep cool if you can ...

Thanks to Michael Kaufmann (Soul Junk and other music projects)
I have three drawings from 1988 in his "Inflatable Duplex: Architecture By Non Architects" show at Harrison Gallery in Indianapolis .

"The 1996 Games" from 1988 is the art / best rendering of the three .
During some moments bk during the cyberpunk period , partner William Barg and myself were thinking and planning a range of projects from the
"Hip Tech High Lit" project (WB/SA/W Gibson/B Sterling/Sean Young/Judy Nylon @ Caravan Of Dreams in Fort Worth & Biosphere Arizona '87),
SRL Video with small book release with Peyotol in Tokyo ,
and multiple music , nightclub cyberartists projects .
In this mode , the drawings i did then were filled with steam jetting through passageways and space ship corridors .
Game Zones for competition s real & virtual , biofdbk , scans , results Gamecycles

1988 . We were constantly scanning the media , pre internet
William contacted Syd Mead and we were sent glossy depictions of his concepts of lush botanicalized plazas , resort built into the side of a Hawaiian hillside .
He also called the guy who did the biggest Monster Truck shows about having SRL do a Monster Robot Show .

2005 . First showing of these drawings , easy to deal with Michael , a good experience .
Cheers Michael and keep it up
