shadowcircus...and the shadow of the psyche

tonight is the puppet troupe from s.f.
i am superexcited!

i think it will be a delightfully surprising night!

things are going well here.
i purged a lot of thought recently on the "myspace" blog
bavab bavab is playing about once a month or so now,
which was really as much as we've been playing,
but it is becoming more smooth
to setup and rehearse and play
as all things do with time.

we are playing next saturday with some fabulous performers:
Vaginals w/Fantastic Magic,
Spirit Bears, Bavab Bavab,
Sumako, Neptunabis

.................

right now the end of the world bookshop is open.
we sold a fascinating book of front pages from the
la times
decades old...
it was so cool,
and i put it out on the one dollar table...
i should've kept it for the house
so anyone could read it,
but it got snagged up as soon as i
opened the door.
oh well,
many people have enjoyed it,
so maybe it was time to move on.

NOISEPOLLINATION is coming up
the last weekend of this month
i'm really excited about it,
for the extraordinary people that will be
performing and audiencing,
but also because it has been a community effort
we are collaborating with the theatre space next door
so we will host friday and saturday with their space as well
that will be an adventure in and of itself...
then sunday we have worked with juan
from next door,
to use the parkinglot for the
...bouncy castle...
i'm really into this.
i think it is a great release
and so fun

********

i am trying to limit myself to only saturday shows
because we simply do not have the resources to
host shows more than that...
but it is hard when there are
so many interesting artists
submitting work...
oh,
and we are going to be hosting a new artist
(visual)
for august
so if anyone is interested send some images
or a link or something...
drop by during a show and show me some work
and we can talk.
this is not an art gallery,
it is an all-ages space
and it gets rowdy
i have some ways to secure pieces high up
or in display cases,
but in general someone
would have to safety proof their own work
or allow it to be shaped by the many individuals
who come thru here...
(as our current artist wylie has been)
***************

it is too bright a day to talk of internal affairs
i will leave that for another time,
and just enjoy this effortless warmth

love & ruckus.

from here on out...

fracturing is i suppose inevitable, but it is so tragic nevertheless
it does change things and free up energies that were
previously stagnent or not properly used

sometimes i wish i could explain everything
what beauty is here, what history
and really give my experience,...
i suppose that is one of the chief purposes
of writing,
but i can't ever seem to capture the most amazing things
they ellude their own telling
they are special for those there only,
and there is something to be said for that.

apart from that, i am very excited for noisepollination
and we have just heard that our favorite : treasure mammal
is going to be performing in the bouncy castle!

this is very good, and we have to figure out how many people
to let in with him...
because christ with braces planned to play in the bouncy castle
(that was one of mine and stane's dreams)
but there are a bunch of us and treasure mammal
well, it's so much better to really be there...
i think we may have to have some sort of tag in /tag out
thing going on...
but i might even be tempted to stay over too long,
so i don't know how it will work.

juan had one next door tonight
and it was a cars themed one...
it was pretty small, but you could jump really high
(it seemed, i didn't get to test it out)

i think something with a pretty princess theme might be funny
or i think sponge bob was in the running.

anyway, i just felt so sad about the other day
when i had to think about the idea that people wouldn't know
what really happened
and part of me wants to just let it lie in its grave
but that sort of thing is like poison,
and i felt it needed to be documented
as truth.

there was a great block party here this weekend, sunday...
we met some great activists, and just bike people and just people,
it was fun

i'm tired still from this weekend, and i hope soon for rest.

hopefully in fall we'll be hosting a fundraiser for one of the bike org.s
so i'll hear more about that soon, and pass it on.

mad love.
