What is friendship?
A network of corruption and civic love for:
Dinners, hang over breakfasts, chain smoking, and other simple pleasures of life Failing better together
Dishing on institutions and their bureaucrats
Dishing on other friends
Starting a bar
Starting any other unnecessary art project
Celebrating life in a form of a marriage, a birthday party, a funeral, or a show opening Asking someone to write an unnecessary text
Inviting them to share a budget when you have one
Asking them to work for free when you don’t have a budget
Pillow talks
Laughing out loud together
Sharing new music
Getting older together
Being silent together
Remembering
Forgetting
Welcoming new members of the network together
Keeping your distance
Challenging the distance
Curbing bitterness
Nurturing enthusiasm
