… should be able to catch up with most blog posts, except the 2 Jeogeot through Art and Word posts perhaps. JTA&W of the Blue Feather Gallery was a turning point.
Hucka D.:
We better get to Supersity. Mossmen used it as a fort. Only later did the arsty crowd set in. Like concrete. ‘
bb:
The two rock sets were very different. Cast in different ways.
Hucka D.:
You *will* go back. This weekend. Take the toys. Take the train. Figure out what happened and happens at Supersity. And then visit the replacement city to Supersity, the newer Supersity. Supersity, the original version, was a fort. Period.

Another thing I thought about was registering the art pieces I’ve found so far, the rock art. There’s the Dongoba temple complex of NORRIS, then the running fence project and also now the sacred hoop of Frank Park. This would be found art, not art I created myself. Examples of the latter would be Billfork and more recently Lion’s Roar. Pietmond is an extension of Lion’s Roar more than anything. Must figure out what to explore before the stupid snow sets in. Like concrete.

Each found art work I mentioned above is very different from the next, although all involve rocks. Dongoba represents temples of stacked rocks arranged in an open woods setting, Supersity Hoop is a circle of rocks with a central temple (more like the Dongoba temples) but adding in extra material like colored ribbon and coins and beads. Running Fence is rocks propped atop 80 fence posts running along a path, which is also an old road, sometimes a single rock but sometimes stacked 2, 3, 4, or more high. Supersity Hoop, the projected site of the Mossmen’s hoped for Future City (hooped for?), is a circle, in contrast to the linear “80 Posts”. Supersity Hoop, unlike the others, is also unprotected by Frank or Herman Park, although it lies just beyond a northern border of the former.
Oh, and another thing: Supersity is where Gene Fade fell in love (!) He was from Jupiter — Jupiter Rock — just like Bracket Jupiter, then. The correspondence to his queen would live at the upper rock of Supersity, and he would be one of the artisans of the lower rock complex. These are like the two Comma Islands, then. A hole exists in the middle between them, a kind of demilitarized zone. The Queen was part of the military, and had loyalty there. Gene Fade then became King of Supersity by marrying the Queen. Somehow Karoz was born of all this, in Second Life. My Second Lyfe. Karoz, alternatively, was the jeweler who made the Queen’s fuchsia stoned wedding ring. “You are a queer lot,” he might say to Karoz in Supersity. “Are you impaired in some way?” Karoz knew he wasn’t. Trouble is he was. He was limited by the Big Schwa of Jeogeot. But he had knowledge of this “E” somehow… he had been given it in the past. Maybe it fell out of his pocket while he was talking to Fade. Fade found it, anyway, and asked: “What is this old man?” “Old chap?” “I am going to move back to Green,” Karoz said in return. “You can have it. It was given to me by someone I am leaving now. I don’t know what it is.” “But Karoz,” Gene Fade replied to him, “you have received a gift — someone wanted you to have this as a memory. “I have a larger version in my humble dwelling unit,” Karoz said back. “Would you like to see *it*?” “I’ve never been inside a slave’s quarters,” Gene then said. “But I’ve never been invited inside.” Karoz knew he was a jeweler and he was going to be the best at it. He was striving for perfection. It was a secret vanity. He would make the perfect ring for Gene Fade and his wife The Queen. “I am not allowed to meet The Queen,” Karoz said. “No,” responded Fade. “No… you won’t know her.”

“It is a good work, Karoz. You have done well.” He was looking over the fuchsia diamond, turning it around with his fingers to examine the facets. “I am pleased, your highness,” responded Karoz. He beamed.

He moved to Green before the collapse of Supersity.
Hucka D.:
No. Supersity survived, even though he didn’t think it would. Supersity had a number of more years in it. But Karoz needed to leave. The Big Schwa.
bb:
Interesting. Thank you.
