KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE - This project was inspired by a man who was wearing a skirt and walking on 5th Avenue at lunchtime. He was screaming “KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE! KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE!” Now I ask people “What is your ROMANCE?”
Mike Mervilde, the captain, was swimming at 11:30 pm on May 25, 2010 at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. I emailed him that night to ask him what his romance was. He wrote me, “when I woke up in the morning still hung over I wrote this… Romance is to me: Being away for too long. Then coming home, and realizing you never want to leave her side again. It’s doing something I do not like sometimes. Just to see her smile. A demonstration of the passion you feel towards what your passionate about. Spontaneity doing something completely out of character. There isn’t enough romance in the world. Go make some… Mike Electric…Boogie…Woogie…Woogie”
