I found myself thinking about this tonight.

    Andrew I don’t know how or why you were called to it tonight, but relatedly I love The Five Obstructions.

    “…creativity feeds on limits.”

    And “the only clear winner is the audience.”

    Someone, limit me.

    Rick, give yourself three perfect, self-contained, sentences every day for a week.

  5. Rick Neece on September 20th, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    Oh, Deron. Thank you. I’ll make an effort. Would you mind critiquing? These may come to you from the back-roads.

    I won’t be able to in the short term, but I look forward to seeing anything you pull together.

    Rick, I will make photographic representation of your well crafted sentences. Then someone else can craft another project. It can a twist on the exquisite corpse game.

    Fair enough. If I can muster. The limit is stringent. Your commitment can be when you have time or feel compelled to speak. No worries (except my own to deliver).

    That is one of my all time favorite movies, Rick. I discovered it through clusterflock, if I recall correctly.

  10. Rick Neece on September 20th, 2011 at 9:40 pm

    Oh, Erica! Delightful! I’ll try not to dissappoint. We’ll see what comes.

  11. Erica on September 20th, 2011 at 9:42 pm

    I only photograph on the weekends. And I’ve been kinda out of ideas lately. Send your first sentence by carrier pigeon. Or meet me by the kale at Brookside Market.

  12. Rick Neece on September 20th, 2011 at 10:00 pm

    Dear God! Erica, you’re in KC? I’m sorry I haven’t paid enough attention. I apologize. We can meet at the kale. Or someplace nearby. You should meet Andrew, too. Perhaps we can figure it out?

  13. Erica on September 20th, 2011 at 10:07 pm

    I am in the KC area (suburbs)! I actually have met Andrew while out drinking with Robert. Yes. We should make it happen.

    Erica, The first sentences are up. Though, not by a long shot, perfect.

    You’re in the burbs, but frequent Brookside market? We’ll have to define “the burbs.” I count them further “outliers” than Waldo. No worries. I would love to meet Robert, too.

  15. Erica on September 21st, 2011 at 6:53 pm

    The “burbs” are in Kansas. Like Prairie Villageish. I work in midtown and have friends all over the city, so sometimes I do my grocery shopping in Brookside. Or closer to home. Depends on where I am and whether I’m in the mood to go to Whole Foods. I have to have a certain amount of energy to go there. And a fresh paycheck.

  16. Rick Neece on September 21st, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    I don’t count PV the burbs. I count it “the neighborhood.” We have friends, in PV, not far from here. I’m not the grocery shopper in our house. But I tag along, mosttimes. Danny love “Whole Foods.” We visit it when we’re in the burbs.

  17. Rick Neece on September 21st, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    “Loves.” You know what I meant.

  18. Erica on September 21st, 2011 at 8:34 pm

    Loves to you.

  19. Rick Neece on September 21st, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    Thank you, dear. Back at you.
