52 Weeks of No TV

I gave up TV for one year in 2012.  Instead of TV, I made some THING every week.  In hindsight, it was a fecund year. (oh yeah, I used the word fecund)  It was the basis for many projects including my full production of Plasticland:  A Better Place.  It spawned unlikely artistic collaborations, built creative confidence and I got to smash a TV with a golden sledgehammer.  I haven't combed through this blog in awhile but I wanted to peruse it for inspiration.

Week 1's thing - The Golden Sledgehammer

Hey all you cats and kittens:

One week down and 51 more to go.  Last night, I had ANOTHER guilt-ridden dream that I watched TV and I couldn't decide whether or not to tell anyone.  

But I am in a VICTORIOUS mood as I finished my thing for this monumental Week 1 of no TV.  

I would like to share it with you with no more pomp and/or circumstance.  

 

Virtual hand shakes, high fives and kisses (but none of those douchey fist bumps) go out to the classiest trio of dudes this side of the East River - Mr. Devin Assuncao, Senor Adam Cohen and Herr John Desroches.  Thanks for being there to witness the carnage and chaos.
