    I don’t need to read the book to identify that this is a gross misunderstanding of the political terminology, “socialist” which has NOTHING to do with the following:

    1. social practice art forms, 2. social work, 3. or meditations on the nature of living/practicing art/teaching in communal or community-based organizations.

    Not something to be proud of, Houston.

    This aggression will not stand.

    Here’s an idea: how about “Satellites & Socialites”?

    Really? Is it too much to ask to use the correct terminology? Or should I assume it was a typo?

    I’m wondering how I will be involved in this book. I’m content orbiting Earth. I’ve no need to go to Houston.

    And to my socialist friends, godspeed.

    This sounds like it will be an absolutely outstanding contribution to understanding the Houston arts scene. It’s the kind of book I wish I’d written: necessary, real, defining. It looks like it’s pulling together a lot of dynamic happenings in the area, identifying important trends, signaling out the innovators for praise. I can’t wait to read this book.
