Great piece! good luck on your show AB!
I think two of the great treasures you have in Chicago that we didn’t have when I was liviung there are Michael Workman and the Marzewski’s. Good luck with the publication!

Too bad I never use the “self-correction” possibility so beautifully put in place by Chris — ‘living’ without a ‘u’ and ‘Marzewskis’ without an apostrophe. Sheesh. I may type like shit, but I record even worse. At least I can paint.

You’re too kind, Mark. But I will second what you said about Ed and Rachel, they’re doing a great service to the art community by putting Proximity out there. Publishing is very difficult, thankless work, especially in Chicago where there’s no consumer industry support. Everybody should make a donation, financial or otherwise, to keeping it around.

Don’t call Duncan that. It hurts his feelings…oh wait.

For whatever reason, I find the following revealing of this whole enterprise…
Those born on the same day as Richard Holland: Christopher Columbus, John Adams, Ezra Pound, Paul Valery, Charles Atlas and Grace Jones
Those born on the same day as Duncan MacKenzie: Joseph Smith, Robert Bly, and Chet Baker.
Then there’s Hudgens: Gustave Flaubert, Heinrich Heine, Christopher Plummer, Dick Van Dyke and Mary Todd Lincoln.
Brian Andrews? Davy Crockett, Robert De Niro (reaaaly?), Mae West ( cooome ooon), Sean Penn, Samuel Goldwyn, V.S. Naipaul and Gary Powers.
Aaaand Browder: Tolstoy, Otis Redding, Michael Keaton and…wait for it…wait for it…yep, Colonel Sanders.
True, every bit of it. Weirdos all.

Psycho Mary Todd? Ouch that hurts, my British accent might be as authentic sounding as Mr. Van Dyke but you forgot the most important Celeb of Dec 13th. Jamie Fox………
Now I ain’t sayin’ you a gold digger, you got needs
You want a dude to smoke, but he can’t buy weed
You go out to eat, can’t pay, y’all can’t leave
There’s dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But while y’all washin’, watch him
He gon’ make it to a Benz out of that Datsun
He got that ambition, baby look in his eyes
Oh and I was really born on Dec. 14th just the government recorded it the 13th hahaha.

I was born on the same day as William F. Buckley and Charlie Starkweather……..fuck.
June 14th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Tony-Buckley, eh? Sorry, man.
But if it makes you feel any better, all I got out of the deal was River Phoenix and Keith Moon, both dead of drug overdoses…and Harry Guggenheim. Oh well, fate is cruel.
But it’s a fun game to play anyway.
Chris: Just for fun, Dec 14: Shirley Jackson, Don Hewitt, Patty Duke, and Lee Remnick.

Sorry, Richard: I meant to write Grace *Slick,* not Jones. But for some reason I keep imagining you with Grace Jone’s hairdo anyway. Brr.

Amanda won that race, anyone born on the same day as the Big “o” is one lucky individual.
