we performed this piece–made a year ago (june 2009) for Queertopia (for part one, see Rub It Out, Part 1 here)…

Wreck Family presents: Rub It Out, Part 2 from S.K. on Vimeo.

and here’s a bruise i gave myself in the performance. performance art is Serious Business.

maybe i’ll see you there sometime…
