HOBO ART SHOW
Herewith an important document pertaining to hobo-related art–another happy remote connection made via this effort, which I had nothing to do with and, which, therefore, is all the more amazing to me.
Writes, Sally Brock, of the gallery:
“I found this artist from the 700 hoboes show based on your recording- (via boingboing.net) contacted her and gave her a show:
On display through July at Fancy + Pants
Rachel Schafer
of San Francisco
Her newest series of paintings feature hobos and their sad little daughters [sad b/c daddy is a hobo] caught up in various tear-jerking scenarios -like gaining weight, sitting by the phone, looking forlornly at be-daddied pairs at the amusement park, etc. Inspired by the John Hodgman recording of 700 Hobo Names
Opening reception Saturday July 8, 7-9 p.m. Hobo style refreshments will be served”
Apparently, you can also buy underpants at this very gallery, or near it.
I have a feeling the ratio of difference between the number of bindles to purses at the gallery will be very, very high.

Sounds like a pleasant evening. Go see some neat art and then stock up on long underwear next door.

I happen to be a genuine hobo. I got the name “Catfish” in the Phoenix AZ jungle because I spent so much time in the duckpond trying to stay cool.
Icould tell you stories…

Houses and cars are expensive and not everyone is able to buy it. Nevertheless, credit loans was invented to aid people in such situations.
