Miranda July is amazing. I

Miranda July is amazing. I just went to her second to last performance of The Swan Tool which was part movie, part live performance, all very interesting and beautiful, and the Q and A afterwards also cracked me up because she completely dismissed a couple stupid questions ("what themes were you trying to get across?" "what books are you reading?"), and answered all the good ones well (my favorite was her answer to "did you work as a lock smith?"). K is having dinner with her right now, but I'm not jealous, okay maybe a little-lot.

I wonder how I would think about things differently if the things I was making were made in such a way that they were events in time that only lived as long as I was making them (ie. live performances) rather than products that could be sold for an eternity if they only deserved to be. Would it be possible to do an adaptation of a live performance like The Swan Tool, though, as they do with plays and musical pieces? That might be interesting.
