So do you think I should email the porno Stevie guy and ask him how much he'd charge to do the beautiful portrait? The thing is, he would probably say yes, and then I would be bound by my strict moral code to go through with it. But I've exhausted my 2002/2003 celebrity porn budget (you know, from that beautiful velvet painting of Chuck Berry getting his groove on that I scored on Ebay), so I'll never be able to afford this guy. What do you think he charges? A buck? Buck fifty? A six-pack of PBR and two smacks across the fuckin' mouth? All too rich for my blood. So I might have to call on you fine folks to throw in a few bucks if you're willing and able. Come on, people--this is all for the sake of ART. The other thing is that I'm not sure what photo to send him to use for my fictional homeboy Eddie "The Rockin' Jailbird" Sanchez's likeness. Now, of course I'm not going to send him a picture of myself--I'm not that damn crazy. But I can't decide whether to use the picture that I sent Vlad and told him it was me, or a picture that's more in line with what Eddie is supposed to look like. I'm thinking about sending him . . . well, OK, here's the deal. You remember the part in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when the two guys at the garage take Cameron's dad's Ferrari for a joy ride? You know, it cuts from Ferris telling Cameron that the car is OK to a slow-mo shot of the two guys with their mouths wide open as the car flies through the air? OK, the guy driving is Eddie Sanchez. He's not REALLY Eddie Sanchez, of course, but we always said it was. So I'm thinking about sending him a still of that shot that I was just talking about. The dude has the most wonderfully ecstatic look on his face, and it would work perfectly for this project, but I'm worried that the Stevie pornographer might recognize it. Oh, here it is! I'd have to get a better version, of course.



Wow, I just looked him up and found this picture. You recognize him now, right? He's been in a bunch of movies. And according to imdb.com he was the original drummer for Sonic Youth!!!



Or maybe this one. This is going to be a major project. So can I put y'all down for a few bucks?

How much will it cost? Maybe I'll throw in a few bucks if you promise me a photocopy of it :)

I dunno yet! It seems like the guy is stuck in about 1978, so perhaps he'll charge me in 1978 dollars. :) And I promise photocopies to everyone! I just hope I don't get busted making them at work--that would be a hell of an explanation to have to give. :)

Yes, I would mail you five bucks, if only to have played a part in such a noble venture. I suppose I'm just a philanthropist at heart, a patron of the arts, if you will.

i can't stop laughing

OH MY GOD. Ihose are too damn funny. http://www.geocities.com/ackempucky/p4.html <---I think that's my favourite one but it may be this one too: http://www.geocities.com/ackempucky/p2.html HA!

OK. Now I must see this Chuck Berry velvet you're talking about.

They're all so good! I mean, not GOOD, but compelling in a train-wreck sort of way.

I would show you the Chuck Berry velvet, but interstate commerce laws prohibit the transmission of such terrifying material over the Internet. ;)

I knew in a second that was the dude/picture from that scene in Ferris Bueller..hmmmm...

But you're COOOOOL, though! This guy probably hasn't seen a movie since Heavy Metal!

On second thought, you might be right. He does seem to be quite the pop-culture maven, what with Gilligan and Paul Stanley turning up in his work.

I might have to recruit an unknown. I wonder how one does that without getting busted by the vice squad . . .

Okay, I am a grad student and not exactly loaded, but I wouldn't think twice about throwing $5 for the porn portrait. It will be money well spent.

I laughed harder at the Johanna site than I've laughed at anything else in recent memory. I need to wait until I'm not in a public computer lab to check out the porn guy's site.

I wouldn't recognize that guy as being from Ferris Bueller, but then again I have poor face recognition skills in general. So don't go by me.

Great, thanks! I'll be sure to update you as negotiations progress. :)

add me to the list!

You got my $10 of support, bub!
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. IN THE NAME OF ART!

Of course you need to know if he will do it

The only problem with that last picture looks pretty..well, unconvincing. Maybe the wide screen shot screams "This so not me. This is some guy in a movie." which could be bad if you really want him to believe it's you.

Rock on! I'm gonna put this on my resume when it's all said and done:

* Solicited charitable contributions and commissioned piece of High Art portraying Eddie "The Rockin' Jailbird" Sanchez getting Stevie "Don't Stop" Nicks in "the dog."

just use your own damn face

If you're worried about it, I think you should just use your own face. In fact, I would give up a HELL of a lot more cash if you'd have him use MY face. . .

why? I don't know. maybe the idea of a picture of me banging stevie nicks doggystyle collecting dust in your closet is just priceless. maybe i should just commission my own picture and send copies to people as easter presents, in commemoration of christ's rising from the dead or whatever the hell creepy shit easter is about. me fucking stevie nicks is about as likely as that christ from the dead nonsense anyway. how did i get on this topic? I don't know.

That is fucking hilarious! I will totally throw in a few bucks to get a copy of that. I find myself really hoping he does it!!

I love Ferris Bueller's Day Off-it's one of my faves! I still know practically all the words. I have no life.
