    Buy me a tidy little place somewhere to live and work (maybe in Malta);
    buy a letterpress and learn how to use it;
    fund a publishing company.

    Be awesome.

    If? Surely you mean when, Deron! I have always believed my day will come.

    I’ll be as happy as a pig in shit and shall insist that others join me in that shit.

    I would keep it a secret.

    First, I would pay off my college loans and credit cards.

    Then I would find someone I trusted to take care of all the money so I wouldnt spend it all.

    I would hire a personal trainer and dietitian and nutritionist and finally figure out why I feel so sick every single time I eat any food at all.

    I would buy an iPhone and then I would go to Iceland for a month and maybe buy a small house there.

    I would learn how to fly planes and maybe buy a small plane eventually.

    I would give money to the people who always gave me money.

    I would fund a startup.

    I would host another Clusterflockstock and pay for everyone to come and we’d have just as much if not more fun than last time.

    Other stuff too.

    Buy a building and create a Warholian collective, I think. I am not much of an artist myself, but I like be around those folks.

    I have always wanted to combine an animal sanctuary with an artists’ colony. I would invite animal artists working in any visual medium. Or mixed media. Or performance.

    my fantasy always starts, after the smart stuff has been taken care of, with the cars I would buy for all my friends, what they would be, and how I would simply leave them to be found in their driveways.

    now I know what will be in Aaron’s driveway.

    I’d pay off my student loans, credit cards.

    I would pay someone else to do all these miscellaneous repairs and cosmetic work that my house needs, then probably sell it.

    I’d buy a new car for my mom, and something practical for me. Something ugly and foreign but decent on gas with some cargo space.

    New computers.

    An arcade setup for playing DDR, whether that be an actual cabinet or a set of arcade-style pads for a home console.

    I’d see some cities with someone special.

    I suppose it depends on the jackpot amount but I would like to think that if I can defy the odds and win, it will be for an obscene amount of money.

    My dream is to make sure my dad is set up with the retirement he doesn’t have and to take care of those around in ways that they can’t help themselves. After that, I think I would travel quite a bit with my wife and then settle on Kauai. We would like to open a center to promote artistic development and education. Classes and studio space for children and adults at a very low cost or even free if possible. Employ as many local people as possible and maybe import a few who are willing. Gallery space for our students and local artists work. Then I would just work in my studio and create whatever I feel like.

    Clusterflock Hawaiian Retreat anyone? Oh and I’ll get Deron that Ferrari he is drooling over…

    Take care of the family first, then buy a nice big farm in rural Kentucky and raise Lippitt Morgans.

    Attend farm auctions and bid with wild abandon on old books, antiques, n stuff.

    Travel~~ visit all y’all.

    Get the 458 with a badger deflector and drive around Ireland looking for Lucy’s house.

    I think I’d put much of it away to ensure Alicia, Iz, and I never have to work.

    Lucky for me, bicycles are cheaper than Ferraris, so I’d buy a few (one for all of you?)

    pay off the debts, secure funds for Ivy, Mae, Ann, and Mom

    Buy an apartment in New York. Perhaps build one here in Austin

    Build a studio

    Start a photo book publishing company

    Be generous

    Pay off the mortgage.
    Pay off mortgages for family.
    Give regularly to charity.
    Invest sensibly.
    Buy a small sailboat.
    Retire to a new career as a Park Ranger in the Rockies.
    Live and breathe.
