Hi! I had an awesome weekend in the Catskills. It went better than I imagined. A few weeks ago, I got an email that the photographer Spencer Tunick was going to be in upstate New York and I could be in the piece. He’s known for his photographs of naked people. It’s a large group so it’s not like any one person is on display, although that doesn’t bother me either. I’ve decided I want to be famous. A writer, actor, comedian, brand, podcast host, Airbnb host…it doesn’t matter. I want to be known and have influence. And I will. back to the Catskills. It’s a beautiful area about 2 hours north of NYC. The shoot was amazing. We even went into a mud pit on the property and covered ourselves. we did a few different poses. It was such a unique experience. I made some friends and we went out to pizza after, in Mountain Dale. There were so many characters. One was Dara. She was serving hard cider after the shoot. I was looking for a place to stay and everything was out of my budget. $150 for a cabin with an outhouse? I heard Dara had a spare room, so I asked her! She was probably a bit startled but she said sure. But then she disappeared. I was going to give up and drive home (5 hours drive in one day), but then she appeared again later. i almost lost her, she was driving so fast. When we got to her house, her dog ran out and scratched the back of my leg. I got over it pretty quickly, so that’s progress! Then the dog mostly left me alone. Thanks, Winston.
dara was drunk and eventually passed out. She has a new business, after a brain aneurism. it’s a Catskills car service, which is very needed apparently. So she was celebrating an investment she had received. I like her a lot. We had some really great convos about all the shit we have both been through. It was bonding and I am grateful. She also said she would help me with a yard sale. I need new stuff. Out with this old.
I drove back to NYC and today I’m taking it easy.
