Blogging questions: How do people tell nics are the same human from venue to venue? Related, why would anyone use the same nic on more than one blog/group? Kind of attenuates the goal of anonymity.

There are two other Obdicuts out there, and a few other Obidicuts. I don’t actually want to be anonymous; I’ve said my real name here and enough other stuff to piece me together. I use the nic more to make a point about communication on the interwebs than an actual mask.

I weirdly have a horror of fame, though. Last night, I went to see a documentary at the IMF theater here in NYC about Sicilian pupeteers, with John Tuturro in it. Afterwards, they had a Q&A with John Tuturro and the director, a man named Pasca. After that, we adjourned to a bar, but Tuturro didn’t come. The director got to make the cool movie and then talk to fans casually, not worried they’d start stalking him or obsessively talk about his past projects. Tuturro couldn’t, he would have been swarmed.

It’d be fucking terrible to be famous. A lot of the bizarre behavior of stars I think is because of that inability to ever get peace in public.
