When I asked Mister (S)Mell to define Alex Knost, I thought he'd try and get out of the (fucking) question (fucking stupid journalist). But, no. He got out his usual exhaustive list of adjectives worthy out of guy writing a text message whilst driving, without thinking. Or very little. "Happy. Smily. He often smells bad, funny, caring, interesting, creative, a cheese and coffee lover, vegetarian, total stoner, brilliant, likes longboarding, he drinks beers, women like his clothes, total killer, tanned, got a pretty good botton turn."

He drew a strange funny face on the first page of his "Slide your Brains out" book just under some strange Japanese red signs. 
Then he explained to me that those signs meant "Live here if you can".

So I did so. I was living here. now. this moment with him.

Well I met one of my favourite artists tonight. Thomas Campbell.
