LEADERONIA- One of the Great Leader favorite people
is Mr. Chris Verene. He is a photographer/drummer and
overall an american child.
The first time the GL encountered Mr.Verene was in Times
Square NY. The GL was walking with Segretary Of Sound
Jung when they stopped in front of a shop window where
a gentleman with a tuxedo and fake mustaches was talking
in to a mike and with the help of two young ladies dressed
up in circus outfit was demostrating various sensational tricks.
On the sidewalk among the crowds watching the show the
GL ons Mr. Jung responded to Mr. Verene call for a volounteer.
The Performance was astonishing, the large man in the window
dared everyone and the GL, at that moment in the window, to
put his bare hand in a hot scorching toaster. He did.
The stunt was one the many exceptional events that occur in
the city of New York, and the GL walked out of that window
only to find himself in a museum in Paris, The Centre Pompidou,
and browsing art books where he spotted a familiar face in a
photography book by an american Chris Verene. Same guy.
Now the star of Mr. Verene is bright and after other detours like
playing in a band, Cordero, as a shoeless drummer, the GL holds
this performer high in his list of events attendances, and recently
he was invited by email to Mr. Verene new event, CRACKER.
The Department of Cultural Affair with The Secretariat of the GL
