Reconstruction Room, “Superfight”
May 16, 2007, Black Rock
They fought, all right.
Dojos were mentioned, as were green plastic dildos. A slow-motion boxing moment was viewed; a woman insisted that we throw wads of paper at her while she fought with herself; a mafia-affiliated father was mentioned watching Rocky Balboa in the bathtub; assistant editor of Poetry and Time Out Books editor engaged in fighting stances; and a tribute to “Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf” was conducted. So everyone won, except me, because my camera gave out halfway through and I missed a bunch of great photos, including one of one straight man kissing another straight man’s forehead while they demonstrated self-defense moves.
