I'd like to meet:

rehabilitated damaged lemons, lifelong melancholics, closet optimists. raging activists, angry, largely ineffectual ivory tower marxists , people who question their politics to the point of hurling. rowdy avant-garde art fags sporting post-revolutionary insoles. rejects, theoryheads, diablo II fans. gilles deleuze. felix guattari. louis althusser. jorge luis borges. arnold davidson in a bathhouse. purveyors of the ultimate gift . our buddies on the editorial board of critical inquiry. capitalists loved in spite of great faults.

anyone on a mission to search and deconstroy, or at least render themselves sterile trying.
