17:35 <WebMsill> re: that sofaer-thing, it was surprisingly harsh at least for me, I suppose it depends a lot on what you talked about with him but when I reflected back on it later, it hit me pretty hard 17:36 <WebMsill> I was prepared for it to be a pretty intensive experience but I was still surprised 17:37 <x> what did he babble about then 17:39 <WebMsill> well it was like a therapy session but in a soundproof glass box in the middle of the museum and people were staring into the box and he had this weird feathery costume made out of cable ties and then you talked with him about some issue that you wanted to but it had to have something to do with the theme of relationships 17:39 <x> well what were you chatting about

17:39 <WebMsill> so a bit like being at a psychiatrist's or something but in basically in public 17:39 <WebMsill> about a relationship thing that's been haunting me for quite a while :) 17:40 <x> ooh I see :') 17:40 <WebMsill> and you know even though back in the day I went to a normal psychotherapy for two years and I knew what's it going to be like, in some ways that was just so super intensive 17:41 <x> I guess it sounds like a pretty cool experience 17:42 <WebMsill> when a psychoanalyst is anyway a person that you know and you've formed a really long-term relationship with so you can talk about all the stuff, but this guy was like a total stranger whom I've met maybe once in passing 17:42 <x> and then this was a new acquaintance who knew how to pull on the right strings 17:43 <x> or was he just an otherwise charming fellow 17:43 <WebMsill> his performance was really popular, he had umm four "sessions" on thursday and fri-sat-sun 7 every day and they all got booked pretty fast 17:43 <WebMsill> that was just the point really, in a way he was very distant with the suit and the mask etc 17:43 <x> this is how you cause mental traumas 17:44 <WebMsill> but on the other hand he asked questions and steered the conversation and gave advice
