lithuanians

pat, jess, stephanie, tyler, marty, and i made dumplings a few nights ago (jared was getting antibiotics in times square).

later that same night, i met two german pornographers who were talking about the lithuanian filmmaker jonas mekas. being lithuanian myself, i didn't like how they were pronouncing his name and told them how to pronounce it more correctly.

the next day, noah and i went to the museum and saw a fluxus preview. fluxus is an art movement started and led by another famous lithuanian, jurgis maciunas (who went by "george" because people are bad at pronouncing lithuanian names, as we've seen already).

and all of this now makes me think of this video where both of these famous lithuanians have a dumpling party with a famous pittsburgher, a famous beatle, and a famous japanese-american artiste!
