I am currently conducting, with the help of Cabinet Magazine, a contest to find The Most Phallic Building in the World. I recently wrote a piece for Slate.com in which I claimed that the Williamsburgh Bank Building was the most phallic in the world and a number of people wrote to me, protesting this and offering links to other buildings that had been erected over the years, so to speak. So please send to me at Jonathanames2@aol.com a link to a building that you think is the most phallic. Eventually Cabinetmagazine.org will post these links/pictures and a vote will be conducted. Please check my website to stay on top of this contest, so to speak. To know what you're competing against, see the Williamsburgh at: www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/willie/willie.html

I will be posting my performance and reading schedule here on blogger. My website is getting rebuilt, like the six-million-dollar man, by Tankboy. Visit his website at Tankboy.com.

All the best and none of the worst,
