I read all of Mcsweeney's 2 and found it very funny and insightful in a poignant yet politically relevant way. Bravo for Mcsweeney's 2 for making good evil, and evil good.
im confused
mcsweeney's 2 is a new adventure
tao lin = towel in
McSweeney's: Deep Space Nine
It's like adventure camp, except without all the crying when my mom leaves.
That's a lovely shade of blue. I hope they continue to publish such lovely shades of blue. I felt good when I looked at McSweeney's 2.
thanks for taking the time.
I was abusing cocaine in a Bushwick art gallery at 4 a.m. last Saturday when a Long Island philosopher began elucidating a theory of how the sweeping reach of Martin Heidegger's ontology provides the most suitable scholastic introduction to the corpus of western philosophical thought. Somewhere around the word "corpus" myself and a taxidermist got bored and started talking about Marcel Duchamp.
McSweeney's 2 is a portrait of Duchamp dead. Being and Zero.
I don't get it. This is just a gimmick. Why are you so into gimmicks? Just write dude. Just write. If you're good enough you'll get attention for that. I think your weirdness is at least 50 or 60 percent persona. Sure you're weird in real life...but you totally push it to get attention. Oh well. At least you're better than Noah Cicero
gooooood damn it. fucking write already. right now. write write write...,
dude
live at the groucho club
thank you for your advice
Tao, I'd be interested to know what your "inspiration" for this particular creation was.
mcsweeney's 2, whether i made it or someone else made it, or no one knows who made it, or i got an email with the link in it, and i don't know who made it, or me and someone else made it, or a lot of people combined and discussed it and then made it, or dave eggers made it, or it got made by accident, is finished, i think, probably
it was started and completed, and now it is here, it seems, completed, maybe, people have looked at it and read all of the content and experienced it, it is a complete work, perhaps, maybe, don't know
there will, perhaps, be a family of McSweeneys.
leaving comments is a gimmick.
having a blogger profile that answers dumb questions is a gimmick.
mcsweeney's 2 is not a gimmick.
