The Final Throes

Step by Step:

1. Money: Neither Becca or Katy have amassed the amount needed to pay off looming debt. No worries. Coin collection still taking place (we accept Rubles). Gypsy yard sale in works.

2. Itinerary: Pretty much set. Needs to be finalized. And locations need not be scouted beforehand.

3. Intellectual Prep: Already there.

4. Background Research:
Katy - two Dylan vinyls (Another Side of Bob Dylan, Street Legal), a few more studio albums, magazines, thesis from men at Pace University about relevance of Dylan in formation of modern speech, other such endeavors.
Becca - everything. finished The Dharma Bums, working on Visions of Gerard, bought Planet News, poetry overdose (daily), photocopied pages from book because of lack of funding.
Both - Lots of poetry readings (Beat & Dylan), and of course the daily existential discussions of human nature and consequence.

5. School: nearly finished, overwhelmingly wasteful. Impending deadline for novels.



We have a small request of our reader(s). If you get to this point in the post, please click the Comment button so that we have a vague idea of how many people actually read/see this. If you are embarassed to admit you read the indulgent blogs of two crazily obsessed Jersey children, simply write a dash. It's like Malcolm X, except less dangerous.


Thanks,
Katy & Becca
