SAN FRANCISCO - EAR TRIPPING

We're not stupid. We know that artist talks are a way to get more people to come see a show that opened a few weeks ago so it doesn't fall into a mid-run slump, and usually hearing people gibber about whatever they've just Created makes a big cartoon log being sawed pop into an imaginary bubble above our heads. But that's not the case here. It's been a long time since we've seen rainbows not blatantly happy (maybe this is the first time ever for San Francisco), so listening to Suzy Poling and Kamau Patton try to explain their carnival of depreciated light and decaying sound at Southern Exposure tonight seems like a good way to feel like you've had acid deposited into your ear hole.
