Mike is a long time friend from Inter DADA 84 days. He is part of the LA DADA duo and is an amazing poet and performance artist. We had a chance to hangout while his wife Dee met with a childhood friend.
I remember a couple of visits to LA when we went performance art clubbing, where Mike was well known, and paraded down Venice Beach boardwalk with other artists in costume during DADAFEST LA's early days. LA DADA includes Mike and Neal Taylor (Skooter), and sometimes Lon Spiegelman. Mike was always pushing for things to be "more political" and some days I privately viewed him as an anarchist.
Mike says of his visit to S Florida, "I
did get in 5 rounds of swimming. 8 laps, 10, 12, 14, then 16 laps of getting in
better shape for the MUDGIG at Highways Perf. Space."
What's the MUDGIG? He refers to the MUDPEOPLE, a self-named "urban tribe" that eschews spoken language and most
clothing for its walkabouts in local parks, the LA River, and at other public
spots and events.
