So. Did the residents of Marfa go all Animal House on you douches and run you out of town with a big EAT ME cake-float?

Okay, enough with the "tiny West Texas town of Marfa may seem like an unlikely spot for one of the most exciting and inspiring contemporary art events..." stuff. Marfa's discovery is no longer news. It's a contemporary art outpost. Overrun by hipness. Sold out to Yankees. However you describe it, it is no longer a surprise.

Y'all gonna get the Marfa curse. That's what happens when you bring your big city ideas to small towns that don't want you.

Too bad all the hotels in Marfa and Alpine have been booked since June.

I'd go, but the instant bad karma isn't worth it. Those people HATE us.
