Somewhat Disappointed with Twizzlers

admin — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:12:42 +0000

I am somewhat disappointed with Twizzlers. And maybe someone else knows more about this than me. But sometime over the past couple years, they seem to have changed their formula. Twizzlers used to be more like actual licorice. It was thicker and more substantial than the more popular kinds of licorice-like substances which always, to my taste, seemed very chemically. Usually, Twizzlers could be distinguished visually from these other chemical concoctions by its darker color, a red instead of pink. Anyway, I opened up a bag of Twizzelrs today to discover that they now taste all chemically and gooey like its inferior competitors. Can someone explain this to me? Is this just a fluke? A bad batch? I am very concerned!

The Latest Transmission from the Electronical Yurt of the Artist at Large:

I’m sure you have probably made that usual new years
resolution to see more John Cage Musicircuses before the Mayan
Apocalypse Times. Let this be the year you fulfill your destiny!

Experience John Cage’s MUSICIRCUS: Over 30 performers, films,
tutorials, workshops and more.
Saturday January 28th 2012, 1:30pm until 5:00pm
Walt Disney Family Museum, 104 Montgomery Street, The Presidio of San
Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94129

But what’s a musicircus you ask? “First performed in 1967, John Cage’s
MUSICIRCUS is simply an invitation for performers to assemble and play
together – a “happening” where multiple performances occur
simultaneously to create new and unusual configurations.”

ALSO: I’ll be presenting new ahtwork as part of the Berkeley MFA in
Art Practice 1st year exhibit. Come see or hear the Sound Tower, and
complex, computer-frying, Max patches which do absolutely nothing!

The Worth Ryder Art Gallery 116 Kroeber Hall
Opening Wednesday, January 25, 5-8 PM
January 25-February 11, 2012
