If I weren't an ignorant idiot, I'd figure out a way to organize all the 
artists in the bay area into a union. There would be NO bay area without 
them, but most artists that I know are 1) getting thrown out of the country 
(my tango teacher) 2) barely surviving. And they work harder than any one I 
know.
