It’s ok if you don’t own a tie. You’ll own nothing and still be happy.

Oooh I love the image of Charles on a stage, barefoot and sans tie, speaking to Black Rock. Then I would know a shift has happened!

That's funny, Charles! Black Mountain, legendary college closed in '57, students and faculty included Josef and Anni Albers, Charles Olson, Ruth Asawa, Walter Gropius, Ray Johnson, Robert Motherwell, Dorothea Rockburne, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Franz Kline, Willem and Elaine de Kooning et al...B M College Museum or something in Asheville is no doubt where you'll be holding forth

I have more than enough neckties. Happy to send you one or two. Just PM me an address.

I think if you showed up to do a talk at Black Rock without a tie, somebody there might lend you one for the day.
