30th Birthday Dinner Format
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:06 PM): I think I just stumbled across something here as it pertains to the 30th birthday dinner i mentioned
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:16 PM): i've been thinking a lot about what to do with the pkins
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:25 PM): there are i don't know 500-600 of them
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:29 PM): somewhere in that range i think
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:36 PM): some are "good" some are "bad"
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:39 PM): some are interesting
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:42 PM): some aren't
ryanuklisfpp (12:45:47 PM): most likely most aren't
ryanuklisfpp (12:46:16 PM): But I think the theme here is "Confusion"
ryanuklisfpp (12:46:22 PM): and "Pain"
ryanuklisfpp (12:46:36 PM): with intermingled moments of "hope"
ryanuklisfpp (12:47:00 PM): hopefully the moments of "hope" are growing and displacing moments of "confusion and pain"
ryanuklisfpp (12:47:35 PM): with that in mind then the Titanic Mistake exhibit would display confusion pain hope
ryanuklisfpp (12:48:02 PM): So chronologically "The Thing" is first
ryanuklisfpp (12:48:11 PM): and that's pretty much confusion and hope
ryanuklisfpp (12:48:30 PM): And then there's the video clips of the Hoboken Era
ryanuklisfpp (12:48:42 PM): Hands, Feet - Hope and celebration
ryanuklisfpp (12:49:49 PM): "I'm the Next American Idol" is anger (from pain and confusion) and hope (misdirected (word choice?) celebration in the context of being angry)
ryanuklisfpp (12:50:14 PM): There's also the one I thought of as "The West Side Story"
ryanuklisfpp (12:50:26 PM): which was me fart-singing dueling myself
ryanuklisfpp (12:51:01 PM): that could be some kind of consciousness breaking thru unconsciousness "thing"
ryanuklisfpp (12:51:32 PM): then there's a long pause, displayed by the record of paystubs
ryanuklisfpp (12:51:41 PM): until Pkin #1
ryanuklisfpp (12:52:05 PM): then there's a subset (possibly but maybe unlikely complete) of pkins
ryanuklisfpp (12:52:13 PM): Then there are the paintings
ryanuklisfpp (12:53:49 PM): the 4 I'm thinking of are 1) Nefarious Puker, 2) Comma on a Pedestal, 3) The Gift I Gave My Dad Denied and Taken Back, 4) The Alzheimer's Shades (The one you mostly did)
ryanuklisfpp (12:54:43 PM): Then there is a video segment of the Days with Dad
ryanuklisfpp (12:55:47 PM): All the while the soundtrack is a compilation of remixed songs of Titanic Mistake's choosing with elements of the Alzheimer's Songs that Titanic Mistake will write
ryanuklisfpp (12:56:31 PM): Including "Old McDonald Had a Farm", "Chandaloon", "Hey Good Lookin", "I Don't Care What They Say/You're Alright"
ryanuklisfpp (12:57:21 PM): And then there are maybe some photos of the time between the Video segment and the present
ryanuklisfpp (12:57:41 PM): And the Grand Finale - A Live Presentation of "Alzheimer's Theatre"
ryanuklisfpp (1:02:36 PM): Perhaps the live presentation will include famous stand-up bits, including but not limited to, stand-up routines of 2 people.... i.e. Abbott and Costello
ryanuklisfpp (1:02:49 PM): where Abbott is "normal" and Costello has Alzheimer's
ryanuklisfpp (1:03:02 PM): "Who's on third base?"
ryanuklisfpp (1:03:15 PM): "Terd face?"
ryanuklisfpp (1:03:26 PM): Not Terd Face, who's on First?
ryanuklisfpp (1:03:44 PM): Where's my fist?
ryanuklisfpp (1:03:58 PM): and so forth
