This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
BBQ Funeral
September 25, 2015
Annie\'s back and so is the main theme of YP, FOOD! Yessir! You may remember a place called Sichuan Pavilion featured back in 2011. Four years later, it\'s now called Sichuan Jinriver and it is still THE BEST place in Maryland for Sichuan cuisine. Don\'t let the understated interior fool you. This place will make your tastebuds explode with ecstasy. I need to go there more often since it\'s so damn close. And if you ever visit Maryland, you need to go there as soon as you can!
