Interzone report of September 2004

French version

Previous report of August

For the new comers: The reports of Interzone contain the monthly activities of the members of the group in different domains. As we are about 300 people in the world, all different, the whole might appear at first sight as an incongruous medley. For more information on the subjects developped here, please refer to the previous reports since 1997 in the page Information on Interzone

Hi all,

This has been a busy month really.

Expos :

I went to Paris on August 10th for a meeting with Ramuntcho and a visit at the expo. The transcription of the interview is not finished yet, so you will read it next month, but you can see photos of the expo at http://www.geocities.com/clemsnide23/ramuntcho3.html and http://www.geocities.com/clemsnide23/ramuntcho4.html . This was a beautiful day, I could walk all the way in the city.

The video "More than normal" (Plus que normal) by Ricardo Mbarak will be screened at LE CUBE on December 16, 2004, 08h30 pm. A video night proposed by the festival Signes de Nuit, Paris.

Dylan's visit :

The next day I went to Paris, Dylan from UK gave a phone call, saying he was in Paris and coming to visit. Due to the increasing prices of houses in UK, he cannot afford anymore to buy a house, as many English people at the moment. The rents are expensive as well, so he is looking a way to live out of those formulas, for him, wife and kids, and visited some places in France and UK (www.braziers.org.uk) He stayed here 24 hours and loved the camping of the village.

General semantics seminars by Patrick HUG :

Patrick Hug PATRICK.HUG@IRSID.ARCELOR.COM is organizing seminars of general semantics : he has been a long time member of the Institute of General Semantics, and we have been in touch since some years now. See the presentation of the seminar in pdf at http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/plaquetteSG2004.pdf

Interzone books :

"Uncertain about their future, Ian McNeel and his two companions forsake California. Embarking on a roadtrip across the country, they land deep in the unfamiliar world of the American South. Even there he fails to find his place. Instead, his emptiness spins out of control, leading him on an orgy of drinking, drugs and sexual obsession."

Chris has finished his novel.Slackville Road See at http://www.slackvilleroad.com

Here is a quick description: Jack Novak is in love with an actress that doesn't want anything to do with him. His best friend is a dishwasher in oversize homeboy fashions that spends his free time eating magic mushrooms and dancing with dress makers dummies. His roommates are caught in the money chase and drooling after new BMW?s, the women in his life all seem to be leaving, and not even his dog is safe from the long arm of the law. The world seems out to get the poor, so what is a guy supposed to do? Quit his job, move into a VW bus, and hit the Slackville Road?that?s what.
