Potential new gallery space in town.
Stairs Gallery formerly occupying this space was moved to Sam Parr State College, sans Kollage Kid collages so far, however. We’ll see how it develops.
I don’t anticipate my Sam Parr collages growing beyond the Admin Building of the campus and spilling over into this structure.

Baker rejoices in the illuminated green hills of Nabi before heading over to the TILE Cathedral to ask Carrcassonnee some more questions. Karoz was on his back today about doing too much work at work. He asked Karoz if he were [delete name]. Surprisingly the answer came back affirmatively. Certainly something for Baker to think about as he headed over to speak to Carr. We join the discussion in progress.

Carr.:
Instead you must bend the bow back… like this (demonstrating). See how easy that is?
Baker Bloch:
I wonder if Karoz knows about this.
Carr.:
Oh yes, he shot a jackelope just the other day.
—–
Actually let’s fast forward a bit to get to the more meaty stuff….
—–
Baker Bloch:
And then Herman revealed *he* was the monster. Ahahaha!
Carr. (also laughing):
HAR HAR HAR.
—–
Let’s go a little further…

Baker Bloch:
… also ran for president in that year. We haven’t talked about him much in this blog, in contrast to the other Clinton.
Carr.:
What year is it?
Hucka Doobie:
1877.
—–
I forgot that Hucka Doobie joined in the discussion about 40 minutes in. He didn’t have much to add, though, so let’s skip to about 55 minutes, just around the time he left. I promise this will be more interesting.

Hucka Doobie:
Winter was not a good time for Bill. He started to freeze up during his speeches. We began to think back to Big Chimney and the good ol’ days. Bill pulled out the folder. Started reading. Started chuckling. I asked for details, and wished he would stop constantly chomping on that god darn corndog of his. Always eating and chomping.
Baker Bloch:
I hated that too.
Hucka Doobie:
Not surprising Baker Bloch. Is Baker Blinker outside still, waiting in the boat?
Bill (chuckling and reading):
“And then…” hehe… “And then he started looking for the other fisherman.” Har har! This stuff is a hoot. Who thought all this up?
Hucka Doobie:
Well… you did. Mr. President. Mr. First Man I should say.
—–
I guess Hucka Doobie stayed longer than I thought he did. Oh, and we’re almost at the end of the tape. Let’s go to about 5 minutes before the end.
—–
Hucka Doobie:
You know, Bill, you don’t have to go back in time and change everything like you did before. You can just leave it as is. Hillary would never know.
Bill:
Shhhhhh! Don’t even say that name here. Baker b. might put it in his blog.

Ooops.
I keep churning out Sam Parr collages, 2 on Friday (samparr 06/07) and another rough draft yesterday (samparr 08). I don’t anticipate this going beyond 10 or 11 collages, however, but of course could be wrong. It’s not going to go on and on like the Falmouth series from early this year I don’t believe. Is it? I don’t think I have the energy for another one of those. It greatly surprised me that another collage series surfaced so soon after what I would consider the massive Falmouth effort. Between the 2 Carrcass-11 also formed, although I haven’t been able to “fix* it yet (tape it, in essence). And a Carrcass-12 could even be on the horizon. And also between Falmouth and Sam Parr was created Collagesity itself, first in an intense psychic battle between Noru and Rubi (Noru winning, of course) basically ending in the formation of the new virtual town, and then the further development of the town itself, first focusing on Westside and now Southside and its Sam Parr State College. Westside was essentially sacrificed for Southside. The core of the town remains mostly the same, built around the central Falmouth, Toxic Art and Power Tower galleries. What place does the brand new Sam Parr series and the harbouring Sam Parr State Park College have here? It is a question to keep asking. It’s something new.

Carr.:
I have scanned your mind and will answer some before you speak physically. The Master has intimate tiles with TIE.
Baker Bloch:
You mean, ties with TILE obviously.
Carr.:
TILE colors appear in several spots. Karoz wants you to think about The Master and TILE. The Master has appeared before in one of me. Tasted like chicken.
Baker Bloch:
Yes, that joke was funny the first and perhaps second go around.
Carr.:
Are you mocking me? Your God?
Baker Bloch:
I don’t think you’re a God, Carrcassonnee.
Carr.:
That’s what you told Chuck.
Baker Bloch:
You mean Charlie? He was asking about the image from the most recent 2 collages, which form a diptych. That image is you. I told him the giant woman in the image, which is you, is God I think, but said I wasn’t totally sure about that. He seemed to like the joke. Joke?
Carr.:
Joke (laughs).
—–
Baker Bloch:
I’m back.
Carr.:
I blinked and you were gone. Now you’re here. I have to get use to that.
Baker Bloch:
You are smaller than you’ve ever been before, Carrcassonnee.
Carr.:
Call me The Master.
Baker Bloch:
I’m not going to do that.
Carr.:
Then call me YANA. Heck, just call me Carr. Like a little, spidery one you drive around Bath in. In the future.
Baker Bloch:
Thanks! How’s Spider doing, by the way?
Carr:
Spouting out the same 4 numbers in different ordering. Maybe I should trade him in for a newer model.
Baker Bloch:
I hear Redd Foxx is in town. But it turns out to be the red fox in one of baker b.’s collages, the one that turned her back on Spider.
Carr:
She hasn’t gotten over it yet. Poor Spider. Had to go over to the next collage down and speak to lowly Dingo. Dumb Dumb Dingo. Dumbgo.
Baker Bloch:
Is there really that contrast?
Carr:
Yes. Spider is my baby. Mothers are protective. Mothers must keep their babies from being influenced by Dumb Dumbs.
Baker Bloch:
You don’t sound much like a God.
Carr (quickly):
Good!
Baker Bloch:
Back to TILE — so it’s in this film, The Master, and Greenwood did the score.
Carr:
What was it?
Baker Bloch:
What was what?
Carr:
The Score.
Baker Bloch:
That’s the film score.
Carr:
Oh, I thought you meant sports score. Karoz is infatuated with sports, you know. Wants to build the whole school around sports, not teaching per se. But that tiled into his TIE as well.
Baker Bloch:
As I recall baker b. saying, The Master, in an older version of you…
Carr:
Yes.
Baker Bloch (continuing):
The Master is one who gets entangled in TILE, as his ego and charisma and following grow. Kind of like L. Ron Hubbard again. The Master was one of Karoz’s teachers, and the reason he went to Crabwoo University in the first place.
Carr:
Uumm.
Baker Bloch:
He created the TILE pyramid on the southern shores of the Blue Feather Sea, much like The Master of Anderson’s film is seen in a cathedral-like building at the end, when he and Freddie make their final split.
Carr:
I am telling you this because another one of me is coming up, and you can’t rest on your laurels. I am small now, in this cubby hole at the end of your aisle in your church. But I will grow larger again as I get hungrier. Remember how large I was over in Collagesity, just before eating the 11th. I get hungry — I grow larger.
Baker Bloch:
Opposite of what you’d think. You shrink when you eat.
Carr:
Karoz is attempt to start a college, this college, based on a religion that is TIE. Yippie tile one on. You have recently ranted about religion and Islam, Judaism, and Christianity being 3 aspects of 1… *thing*. This thing is TILE. TIE, I mean.
Baker Bloch (correcting):
I think you do mean TILE, actually.
Carr:
Am I backwards as usual? I am backwards. Yes?
Baker Bloch:
Maybe Carr. Specifically in that instance you were. The religion Karoz wishes to spread is called TILE. Not TIE. You left out the L, see.
Carr:
Where did I put it?
Baker Bloch:
I’m not sure it’s been put anywhere, Carr.
Carr:
Then we must drive my little car to find it. Where’s Spider?
Baker Bloch (pointing to his left):
Right over there. Spouting out his numbers, as usual.
Carr:
Do you mind riding in the backwards?
Baker Bloch:
Um, back you mean? Spider is a dog, not a car… Carr.
Carr:
Spider is a Litt Carr. Little car. Like used for driving around baths.
Baker Bloch:
I’m thinking we should end.
Carr:
Then we’re not going to take a trip?
Baker Bloch:
I don’t think so. Do you want to talk [more?] about the 2 most recent collages?
Carr:
Hurla Dontbee will help you more with those. I handle the more God-ly stuff. Asking the big questions. Like, what times are it?
Baker Bloch:
Yes, a good one to be asking.
Carr:
Yes.
Baker Bloch:
Then I will take my leave. Goodbye and thanks a lot Carr. And goodbye to you little Spider. I hope you 2 have a great day.
Carr:
Thank you. And the same to you my fiend. On your way out send the next worshipper in. A man named Freddie I believe. We are trying to help him. Little Carr, my Spider, has doubts. I believe this may be where we part ways but we’re not at the end of the film yet.
Baker Bloch (surprised to see Freddie’s head stick inside the door at the far end of the church):
Oh. He really is here (!?). Yes, I’ll be glad to tell him this. Thank you again.
Carrcassonnee and Little Carr, aka Spider. Together, as they should be. In Sam Parr State College. In the TILE Cathedral. Start asking or begin to lose. Start now.

Updates on collages. My latest thoughts on the latest batch of collages I’ve been producing in the last week are that they are a more minor collection, a satellite complement to Falmouth at best, and, virtually angling, “merely” a way to decorate the main building of Sam Parr State College (administration bldg./library/gallery). No really in-depth look at the collages is needed, minus the interpretation of the most complex one perhaps, samparr01 — “2130!” I might call it. Here’s that one in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, loyal reader or readers.
Here’s 2 possibilities for the base of more Sam Parr collages:
… esp. this one, perhaps…
To remind again, this “2130 Gallery” (slightly later changed to “2130? Gallery” and then just “? Gallery” to end), was essentially replaced in its function by the Sam Parr building, which gained a title just as this structure was derezzed from the college. And also to remind, the former 2130 Gallery structure is a duplicate of one in Collagesity proper, housing the Kollage Kid exhibit starting in early July sometime. Stairs Gallery is the name in that case. Should the Stairs Gallery simply be moved to the college?

Looking back through recent blog posts, I was reminded that this particular post, dated August 4th, mentions racial tension in combination with actor Redd Fox 5 days *before* the Ferguson shooting. Redd Foxx in his most famous role as Fred Sanford of “Sanford and Son”, originally hails from St. Louis. Redfox, Kentucky on the portrayed map lies on a Blackey topographic map, and also several miles west of the old Whitesburg Municipal Airport. The bigoted, cantankerous Sanford character regularly calls Caucasian people “honkys” or “whiteys”, always getting a laugh from the audience as a result.

“The enrollment of Sam Parr State Park College is currently 6 or 7, depending on whether the original African American student decides to join us this year. And I, of course, am part Moss myself. But don’t call me Mossy, please.”
“We won’t Karoz,” Story Room promises in unison, once more. They always speak in total or near total synchronicity. Strange.
“Start calling him President Blogger in front of the students,” Patty Pepper Mint urges.
“We’re not Caucasian either,” Story Room speaks. “Actually,” suggests the yeller feller Chuck separate from the rest this time, “we don’t really know what color of skin we have underneath these outfits.” “Outfits?” exclaim the other 2. They are in unison still; Chuck is out-of-sync.

There no longer is a gallery “2130” or “2130?” next to the house with the same number in Collagesity. Instead, the still developing *Sam Parr* collages are now housed in this structure…
… which is probably the Administration Building of Sam Parr State College but which also acts as the campus’ library and gallery.
So it’s definitely not Falmouth College or Fal Mouth College now. That’s in the past. Sam Parr still owns the place. Karoz Blogger remains its president, although I think his office is over in House Orange through the tunnel, in “Old Collagesity”. I have over 250 prims to play around with, so we’ll see what happens next. I like to keep about 220 in reserve, however.

… of interesting things happening in Collagesity these days, Hucka. Sam Parr as the new owner of the old Fal Mouth College is just the most recent.
Hucka D.:
We should save an interpretation of Sam Parr 01 for another night, however. See what happens next with that name.
bb:
Can you tell me about this entrepreneur? He’s apparently from Illinois.
Hucka D.:
He’s a patron of the arts. I can’t say much more now. Perhaps androgynous. Or at least has a wife who is united with him in spirit.
bb:
Interesting. And he bought the whole college.
Hucka D.:
He was interested in the direction Karoz was taking it. Karoz Blogger will remain as president.
bb:
But maybe they can focus on academics rather than sports.
Hucka D.:
Eeehhh.
bb:
I believe Sam Parr is physically going to show up in Collagesity soon.
Hucka D.:
Your choice.
