June 2008. I run into artist-provocateur Mark Kostabi on the street in NYC, and we strike up a conversation that leads to him inviting me up for a whirlwind tour of the new Chelsea location of Kostabi World. It was brilliant! He asked me to come back to be on a future episode of "Title This," a game show where art critics and celebrities compete to title his paintings for cash awards. We talked for about an hour, as I eavesdropped on goings-on. Before I left he generously offered to play me his interpretation of Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman." Enjoy!
