dave choe dispatch...chuck norris doesn't sleep: he waits

And is crazy…
I will be departing to central Africa. The congo . the heart of darkness, in about three weeks , I was there about 10 years ago , and I will return with a camera man(harry kim), a body guard, and the only missing equation, is a very suave speaking French man. Everyone there speaks french,No one speaks a word of English there (side note to all third world countries: if you don’t like being a third world country start teaching English , not French),so your level of communication has to be able to deal with this type of worst case scenario(also If you can use a camera, speak Bantu, or afrikans and have any martial arts or weapons training background, those would be helpful)
worst case scenario #36
Bandit holding machine gun: give me your fucking camera(in French)
Translator: ok I will give you my camera(in French)but before you take it. would you rather we film you, and you can
tell us your story and show us your life
and millions of people all over the world would see it, which would
mean you have to let us have the camera back and also let us return
home safely
or would you rather keep the camera which the battery is going to die
soon, and there's no adapters in your country to power it?

This country is poor , desperate, and corrupt, but it is not without it’s warmth and goodness. With that being said, the danger level is high, it’s more dangerous than going to Somalia or bagdad, civil war has been raging in the congo for decades, there’ are diseases and killer insects and snakes, there are bandits and hijackers everywhere, so there is a chance you will never come home, but if you can speak French and are crazy enough please e-mail me, if you are a woman I would highly highly recommend not applying unless the possibility of being raped by african men interests you.i need someone immediately or else the trip will be postponed. The trip is sponsored by vice magazine, tickets and expenses will be covered, and you will get a little money, I don’t know how much.
The last time I went it was 1995 and I was 19 years old, and nobody knew that I went , or where I was, this time if you don’t hear from me for awhile you’ll kind of know what happened.if you want to know why we're going
go to google.com type in "congo" and "dinosaur" and see what happens

Meanwhile in san jose......

I have had 10 year long history of paintings being stolen from my shows, I’ve had shows all over the place so I don’t think it’s one person. I want to stress once again, in this life if there’s something you really really want , like a painting, talk to me lets work something out, we can always work it out. Life isn’t just about money. Trade can work also. So I had a good year... year and a half where i had plenty of shows and everyone behave and no one stole, but my last two shows in San Francisco I’ve had paintings stolen. If you know who it is please have the painting mysteriously make it’s way back to me or the gallery, no questions asked, if the culprit is ever found out or you get caught, the consequences will be nah joo ga ee geh sek kee…
pleae Believe that. Most of the work sold in this last show, (thanks mysterious big spender who ever bought all the big ones),and I think this website might not be updated, but the show comes down tomorrow, so if you want anything last minute , check it.

before I go to africa.....
I guess congress just passed something that says January 13th or is it the 14th? Is officially Korean American day.
So I guess all you Koreans out there can skip school and eat galbee that day.(side note: to everyone who thought it was unfair that all the art in my last show was 10% off to all Koreans, don’t worry even a little bit. Korean’s don’t buy art.and they didn't)
I will be working on this day in los angeles, Q and A , it’s all about Q and A , just don’t ask stupid questions.here’s where I’ll be..

680 Wilshire Place, LA, CA 90005 and the building is the Korean American Education Center. And the date is Sat, Jan 14.
i'll be there from 1 to 3:30 bullshitting and answering your thoughtful questions

See you there, anyone can come.

Later that evening….

People that keep asking me to be their friendster, or join livejournal, or myspace, or thefacebook, or whatever.even though i appreciate the invite, I get hundreds of e-mails a day , to my regular email account, 70% from nut jobs, do you think I want to add more bullshit to the chaos? Fuck I think I need a manger or an assistant again. i have plenty of unhealthy habits and hobbies i don't need any new ones.

Here are some extremely helpful links about

Vincent gallo

dave chappelle(this will take some time to read)


That really gave me insight into them and made/wasted my day.
It’s all pretty useless information, you should read the bible instead.
God bless
I love you all
Your all fucking crazy
