what is everyday yeah?
Oral History:
In the summer of 2005 an ice cream truck was driven by someone and one day this someone started shouting, "Everyday Yeah,” as the ice cream truck drove through various neighborhoods playing its music. This someone would yell, “Everyday,” and follow it with a scream of “YEAH.” So it began. But the phrase was soon forgotten as this someone went back to college in the fall and continued with their studies. It was someone’s senior year of college, I think. I’m sure if it wasn’t someone’s then somewhere in the world some person would be graduating. I think someone was one of those. Before someone graduated they had to take classes. Someone took a class called ‘writing for performance art’ with a playwright named Charlotte Meehan. A few others took the class too. Many others didn’t. In the class books were assigned to be read. Someone read some of the books, but did not read them all. Someone read one article by someone named Tim Etchells. Mr. Etchells wrote, "The same text written everyday for a year, in different places, in different locations" could be performance art. Someone thought, "I will write 'Everyday Yeah' every day,” and began at once. A month passed. Failure set in. Someone did not write ‘Everyday Yeah’ every day. The world did not get a new Everyday Yeah every day. Someone did not feel good about themselves and soon graduated from college, and moved back home with some parents, and did have much going, and felt worthless. Then someone bought the url: www.everydayyeah.com. And restarted the project of writing “Everyday Yeah” every day. Someone started on October 31st 2006. Other people didn’t start at all. It continued for a full year. Each day someone wrote 'Everyday Yeah' somewhere in the world and took a picture and soon someone wrote a story to go along with the picture, but the story rarely had to do with the picture. Sometimes it did. Sometimes it didn't. Someone once said, “Those are the only two options.” Anyway, someone kept up with littering the world with Everyday Yeah and did it for a year and at the end of the year they decided not to stop and also decided to start using the url and put up the picture of where “Everyday Yeah” had been written one year before. For example the picture posted on January 15th, 2008 was a picture taken January 15th, 2007. And as the world continues to get filled with Everyday Yeahs, the internet also is filling up with them, only it’s a year behind and doesn’t care if it catches up or not.

Salamat para dito (Thank you for this):
"I mostly read fiction, so I am curious what is a poem?
AA: A poem is something of a quickie in the middle of the day. You go in some cubicle, you take the poem in your hands and get done with it in less than 2 minutes. Afterwards, you never wash your hands and start shaking everyone else's hands. It's one of the reasons decent people avoid poetry and those rumored to read or write it. It's like herpes."
more options
someone somewhere should somehow be congratulated for a year of everyday YEAH!s.
at the risk of sounding like a podiatrist, i thought it worth pointing out that when someone (above) said "Sometimes it did. Sometimes it didn't. Someone once said, “Those are the only two options.” " that the someone who said that thing about the options was wrong. the options as i see them are:
re: more options
Well your statement is incorrect.
The word "sometimes" cannot be substituted by "always" or "never" (under certain circumstances).
I believe the 2 options <Sometimes it did. Sometimes it didn't.> were used based on the general knowledge about the pictures and the fitting or not fitting stories that Someone had about them.
So if at least ONE story went along with the picture (it's stated that they rarely did , rarely >> 0) then you cannot describe that with "always" or "never". Thus the only fitting word is "sometimes". Which means that four additional options that i wrote are surely impossible in this case --> there are only 2 possible options.
A NASTY PIECE OF WORK by graham bendel
Dear Everyday Yeah,
Like your choice of books to review.
We, who are biased, think you might enjoy Graham Bendel's A NASTY PIECE OF WORK.
It's from a small press but it isn't anything to do with imitating Fante, Bukowski and is unique and unpredictable..
On one level it's a book about a publishing man trying to hatch a get-famous-quick scheme by befriending a shocking modern artist. And being terrorised by him when things go askew.
On another level, it's about the role of the artist...
Everyone who has read it thinks it's a total pageturner. (No hype, seriously compelling).
and Graham Bendel, the author, has form already for directing the popular BILLY CHILDISH IS DEAD.
(Note: Patti Palladin of Johnny Thunders fame even lent her magic touch to the first chapter).
best,

So this every day, yeah,
