Thank you for posting these articles! I was beginning to wonder after being around the arts for a few years what was really going on... Now it makes a lot of sense! Just for the record, I have lived in Minnesota practically my whole life and I think people here are perfectly awful in general. That is why I want to study art and get the Hell away from them and the boring grating look of the place. I just want to ask people, what is so great about living here anyway? Tell me... Wow!!

I plan to complete my Combs saga soon. I've been waylaid these past few days and had to rely on the old standby of artist quotes... Just as a quick update, Combs wrote yesterday that he is still living on borrowed time at the apartment he's being evicted from. He spent yesterday in court at an eviction hearing: <i>"8:45 am is too early for legal matters. it was quick and clean as i'm out in agreement by the last day of this month, noon with keys passed. i could just sit here and wait for the sheriff, but i would'nt get a photo... i feel refreshed and strengthened, dirty and manic. i'm going to sleep in the grass and talk to animals while i work."</i> Sorry for the delay, DP.

Commenting as a reader and not a friend of Combs, it feels unresolved... Is this the end of the Gabe Combs saga? Commenting as a reader and not a friend of Combs, it feels unresolved…
