"if you have an idea and you want to do it, just go out on the street and do it, see how it feels, you'll learn way more than doing anything else." -Jamie

We delve into the planning process and the context of art situations, especially performance.

We also try describing everything we see

Colin gets the flu mid-day and leaves work... bit of a shorter episode here :( This is also why we dont have a show for Tuesday or Wednesday...

Basically blabbering - Jamie Radio DJ's at the end of the show... look forward to that!

also, the Steelers, and everything to do with the number 9.

Episode #8 - (It is what it's become) Thinking too much before making enough

straightthroughdowntown@gmail.com (Jamie Boyle and Colin James McDonald) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:03:00 -0400

Process process process, how we make. do we plan, how much do you need to plan, why do we plan so much/little?

And of course the talk flows into "filtering" and "editing".

Special guest... Stella the Dog!

"There is always editing in any project, but it's where it comes." -Jamie

"It is whatever its become" -Colin

Episode #4,5,6 - Goin' Solo (working on your own)

Colin goes solo this weeks and talks about just that... being on your own, full time job, still trying to work on your own art whenever possible.

Being that each show was considerably shorter than normal, this is all of last weeks shows combined from when Jamie was gone, off to the great NYC and Philly.
