merkley???: I May Not Be God, But at Least I'm Real.: 111,111,111 Gigantic Thanks & 11 Sincere Apologies...

111,111,111 Gigantic Thanks & 11 Sincere Apologies...

The 111??? show at 111 Minna last night was a success beyond anyone's most ridiculous expectations.

Who would have ever anticipated a line two blocks long 6 people deep? Someone said there hasn't been a line like that since the apple store debuted the iTurd. Someone from 111 said it was their biggest art opening in their 11 year history.

I'm not deluded, I know everyone came to see the naked ladies in my pictures SO ALL THANKS GOES TO THE FUCKING BAD ASS CHICKS IN THE PHOTOS.

But still, fucking cool. I'll take a little of the leftover love too if you don't mind.

Thanks to Everyone.

AND

111 apologies to Carolyn whose picture somehow got left out (which nearly made me cry like a gay) I found it lonely in the basement at 111 minna at the end of the night.

ALSO SORRY to everyone who didn't get in or didn't want to wait in line. Lines are total bullshit and I don't blame any of you who decided to go elsewhere (in fact i'm a little concerned about alls yalls that actually DID wait in line. What's WRONG with you?).

Anyway, the show is up for the rest of the month. If you'd like to see it and make fun of my beard and sunglasses to my face, hit me up and we can all go down there for a mellow round 2 or 3 or 11.

It doesn't suck hanging out amongst 111 naked girls you know.

If you don't LOVE San Francisco, it's YOU, not the city. This city is cool.

RAVE ON HOMOS!

Now Carolyn:

Carolyn - Sofa

BUY MY BOOK!

That's all for now.

Don't get caught not enjoying how things are for a few seconds

Your Halfway Grateful Ingrate
merkley???

Oh yeah, my flickr world did in fact receive it's 111,111,111th view at some point during the show last night. Is there a word for when stuff like that happens, besides WEIRD i mean?

Speaking of which, my BIGGEST thanks goes to all the fine people who invented and run FLICKR without whom none of this would have happened. YOU FLICKING RULE!

FUCK FRANCINE!!:

yes, that was a "pre"-order, which i admit makes absolutely zero sense in english -- a pre-order would be the state before an order. i am sorry for sounding pre-smart.

The show *was* great (and will continue to be as long as it's up, of course). While seeing the pictures on a computer is great (thanks to Flickr), it's so much better in person. It really brings it to a different level.

I came to that goddamn shit and the ass at the door told me "we're at capacity." I said, "capacity plus ONE, trick, cause my girl's on the wall in there."

Once inside I was disturbed at the number of pervs. I always assumed only cool people would be allowed to view the pics, but in fact there was a wide contingency of douchebags in attendance. As we approached the photos, they turned from the pic to my girl, realized it was her, and then started to leer.

I told them I was shaved Merkley and had them kicked out.Good times.

Glad lots more folks loves your work as much as I.
Sad I couldn't come along, would of loved to pull your beard and sit on your knee and pester you like a 9 yo with a crush who doesn't know how to tell.
Don't blame you for letting the glory of your queue go to your head, ego is good for the soul.
Hoping you start remembering & sharing dreams soon, I miss my regular squirt of absurdity.
Please remember to sign (or even better, dedicate!) my book before you post it. Us pre-order types forked over the bread and honey for just the idea of your book.
Faith in Merkley???, he's so real.
