I felt the same.
This was a fantastic 'Once Upon A Time in NYC' art story. It's like, I don't think Surf Reality could have happened in 2014. At least not in the way that's conducive to real art.
I love the story of Surf Reality, (not just because it is an Origin of KATG story) but because it best exemplifies the weird/ art/ hope that is New York City. I mean, as an outsider Midwesterner; I would only hope that people are doing weird shit like cracking eggs in their pussies. Screaming angst a la Marc Maron. Running around with Elven ears like Rev Jen. Embracing things that go against the grain like Faceboy.
Sometimes what appears weird and pointless might just be the point. "What does it feel like?" "It feels like I'm surfing reality..."
What would America be without Art Star Heroes like Robert??
