The Legend of Bodybagman begins ... here
While at the Bottleworks last weekend, purchasing growlers, bumped into the unsinkable Tim Jordan, who makes me look like a lazy layabout. I have three or four irons in the fire - he has six or seven! And yet he always remains good-natured and bouyant. He reported that he'd just finished his first Bodybagman short. For those of you who don't know, Tim does some amazing performance art whilst encased in a body bag (he did one of these performances for one of our 52nd City Variety Shows at Bottleworks). Now, you can see Bodybag man on film. Extra kudos to Tim for topping off his press release with a bit of black humor:
"Your Type Productions LLC presents the premier of Bodybagman:The
Movie at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Ave, 63143 314-241-
BEER) 7pm every Monday in June. There will also be a special showing
Friday June 8th @ 7pm and 8pm. It will be shown in the Crown Room
located in the back of the restaurant. There will be no service in the
back bar, so you will have to get a drink from executive producer
Tim "Type" Jordan before you head back and witness the existential,
silent, black comedy. You will be amoung the first people in the world
to see the beginning of a cult phenomena born in St. Louis.
Bodybagman will not be able to appear at the premiers for he is in
litigation for future projects in LA, where he has fallen in love with
a necrophiliac nymphomaniac pornstar. Go figure..."
