Jeff: That is the sad, sad part about being a writer. Eventually sells for a quarter on half.com. But hey, I’m not complaining. Twenty-five cents is better than zero cents, right? The rest of my books will be headed for the furnace because that is what they do with remainders. Sad but true. I have no “relationship” with Nobel. I met him once. He wanted to collaborate on something after he had read “Dear Architects”, but nothing has come of it. We are like totes Facebook friends, omg. Then he bailed on Pecha Kucha and the organizers asked me to fill in his place because I’m close friends with Marc, one of the organizers, and he’d know I’d do it last minute and I am familiar with the format because I’ve done it before (twice actually). He asked me morning of the event. The organizers knew I’d eviscerate Nobel which he deserved for bailing out last minute and being a chicken shit and that is what everyone kind of wanted anyway, for me to be a dick to him, including Nobel himself. He was like call me on my shit! He’s pretty funny like that. He likes his infamy. That’s it really.

Hey Annie, it has been a while and I guess when the suggested list price of your book is $13.95 and it is actually selling for 29¢ then you have a lot to say in public. Would it be much to detail the rest of your relationship with Nobel.

annie, you are funny. i think you do not have 20 balls; you have hundreds of ova. ’cause now that’s hardcore.

pedro: if it is pronounced as it is spelled in English, the “j” would sound like a “j” as in, “jumping jehosephat”, not like an “h” as in “holy handgrenade”…I’m just saying.

p.s. happy cinco de mayo. i’m going to drink and you should too. adios, amigos!

Pedro: Are you talking about Abelos? He was stumbling, the 20 second format is kind of hard for non native speakers. Tengo los cojones bien puestos.

Ramon: Yeah it looks like a car dealership, totally. Or like the shipping port where all the cars come in.

Aaron: I won’t even enter a building that doesn’t have pee in the stairwell or eyebrows.

Architecture hit its peak with gargoyles. Since then, it’s all been crap. Seriously. I won’t even enter a goddamned building that doesn’t have a gargoyle on it. I just won’t.

I think you can add car dealership to the list of things the ICA looks like. When I got my MINI, it totally looked like that place! As for cojones, it may mean drawers, but in America it means balls, and as u know, if we say it, it’s true. Also, if we say it, you have to follow it or we will bomb you, or loan you money at high interest, or both.

Wow,
i’ve just check the pecha kucha website, looks really cool, even one of the speakers was my teacher at university. (not as good as he thinks)
Really nice Marco.

A tip for your future use of cojones. When someone is brave and adventotous you say
“tienes un par de cojones” that means you have a couple of cojones or instead “tienes los cojones bien puestos” which means “you have your balls in the proper position. 20 cojones is just too much….

ka: I wish all lectures period were six minutes long. I also wish all meetings were six minutes long. And I also with the work day was six minutes long. Six minutes is a good time.

Marco: YES 20 COJONONES! I wouldn’t be able to fit 20 cojones in my apartment, however.
