write out the whole ‘bombs and drugs’ story at JFK. coming back from europe. off to africa.
things to remember: the tchkung show before you left the country (bombs)
in madrid (drugs)
the crazy lady with all the coke when you came back into the country
your house was demolished when you got back to the country
liz green was there when you got back to seattle and you had a huge crush on her, but all your friends were gone
bq rolls up to the bauhaus where you were sitting with liz green and had you to jump into the jeep
you rode to portland just in time for the soundcheck and got to meet idiotflesh and see motorhead
what a crazy 2 days!

Pol Rosenthal has been working in Seattle's theater and music scenes for over 20 years. He used to publish a cultural arts journal then moved to Seattle to be in a rock band, TCHKUNG. This lead to him working with DK Pan's senses altering Butoh company, the P.A.N. In the late 90s he worked for sonic conspiracy company Muzak and while
walking out the door helped found radical street art/action group the Infernal Noise Brigade. There he befriended and became a member of multi-disciplinary effort The Degenerate Art Ensemble. Eventually, he
moved in next door to Seattle theater company Implied Violence (now St. Genet) and has enjoyed a multi-year, unhealthy relationship to
their demanding work and philosophies. Last year he was in Curtis Taylor's 'The White Days' as an "actor". Presently he's wrapped up dancing in Paige Barnes' modern dance piece 'Lead Bunny' (Oct 2012) and is working on Dayna Hanson's rock musical 'Gloria's Cause'. In October he collaborated with Real Change editor Rosette Royale on a wonderful installation, 'JungleBox', for City Arts Fest.
