The Annual Clinomania Conference for Scholarship will be held next weekend. All accredited scholars and researchers on Clinomania matters are invited to attend. Keynote speaker will be SC, who will present his paper on "The Casual and the Formal: Thoughts about Clinomania."
But the highlight will be our visit to the National Museum of the American Indian here in New York City. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Surely, there must be some wonderful and interesting exhibits at that museum. Perhaps they might not have something fascinating right at this minute, but surely between now and January 9, 2005, they'll have something I want to see. I mean, there are so many options, like they could have an exhibit called 'War Weapons of the Arawak,' which I'd like to see, or 'Heyoka Clowns of the Plains Tribes,' or 'Did the Mohawks Really Invent the Mohawk?' or 'Ritual Dog Eating Among the Haida.' There are seemingly infinite options for exhibits about Native American life and culture that would be both interesting and informative, so no doubt they'll have something like 'Animal Drawings Done By Indians' or 'What's the Deal With Wampum?' or 'Arapahos: How Did They Poop?' or 'Crazy Gods the Navajos Believe In' or 'Awesome Stuff About Indians Who Were Awesome.'"
However, I have some bad news for you. From now until January 9, 2005, the only thing you can learn about at the National Museum of the American Indian is baskets.
