On Friday, September 24th, Don Jonathan and Ashleigh began to ready for an outing at the E Street Theater in Washington D.C. Don Jonathan didn't want to go. Ashleigh did. He went anyway after she begged for a shared experience.
Ashleigh fixed her hair, put on her fake pearl earrings that she rarely wore, a soft pink shirt-dress, black jeans, and her favorite burnt sienna sandles that remind her sister of orthapedic shoes.
Don Jonathan ironed his shirt. The steam made him sweat a bit, but it was nothing a little Old Spice couldn't take care of.
They walked out the door together. They could hear the neighbor carrying on an emphatic conversation with mystery guests. Perhaps there was just one. Ashleigh assumed it was his night for spades. Don Jonathan took a liking to this assumption.
Two hot dogs were bought and one large coke.
They're both young. Broke. Sharing costs whenever possible. They compromise. They sacrifice.
Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radient Child.
A beautiful documentary. Much of his story was an enigma to Don Jonathan and Ashleigh. It inspired the two artists.
They sat in the movie for an hour and a half with four other individuals.
Don Jonathan won the race up the steps. The movie let out and they walked out the theater. Took a round around the block and back to the car.
and back to the house to create.
"In the Cypher" Basquiat, 1982
