In tennis usually the top seed does alright. Kveta Peschke, Czech Republic, and Rennae Stubbs (2), Australia, def. Alicia Molik, Australia, and Mara Santangelo (1), Italy, 6-0, 6-1. But not yesterday. Tennis is trying to promote the value of women’s doubles, by saying it’s exciting, and the new no-ad scoring (to make it faster) is better and so on. But yesterday, the 2 took out the 1 in nothing flat. It was a 43 minute pathetic effort by the top seeds who just had no skills whatsoever. Exciting? No. I heard moans of people wanting money back for the quality of this match. It’s definitely not worth having on television. However, Rennae Stubbs is pretty fun to watch. She’s a Aussie who’s sort of like the Yoda of women’s doubles. 56 titles now, and counting. A few grand slams, so she’s for real. She’s in her mid 30s, born in 1971, gets hyped up, and is an outspoken lesbian.

Remember the ad we had? It was our first ad and we had it for two days. I guess we never got it back. Here’s what happened. We got the ad on the front page. It was a click counting type of ad, so more clicks, the more money. So for some reason, we got a high rate of clicks in the first day. I swear, it wasn’t me just sitting there clicking, but the number was high enough that it caused some concern. I guess a “glitch” is what they call it. Something was up, and the ips were all the same. I think. So it ended with a, “we’ll contact you again” type of thing, and of course, they didn’t. But the good thing is that it made us seek other advertisers, and so on. In the end, that’s where we’re at.

Scion show. So yes, I curated a Scion show at their space in Culver City. How will it be? Here’s the final postcard. I think the booklet that Martin pretty much handled will go to print next week. Did I say Scion? Anyways, it’s fun to work on projects for others sometimes. Of course, them having a budget for it makes it all possible. 8 of 9 artists should be coming to town.
