Ok- someone actually found my old profile which hadn't been updated since after Burning Man '03. So as a tribute I'm actually going to make a new post.

So basically I am back in my summer festival mode...and by that I mean planning and throwing them and not just attending. It keeps me real busy...

I've got Phoenix Festival which is coming up at the...

Back from Burning Man...
...boy am I exhausted.
I will write more later...much more.

Tonight I am off doing peer education and drug councelling for queer youth, with DanceSafe. This was sort of a trade-off as originally I had been wanting to work most of Seattle HempFest. But I chose to be on setup crew for Bluehouse at Burning Man and so I am leaving early and will unfortunately be missing HempFest.

So it looks like I might be...

My only complaint leading up to Burning Man this year is that I have spent so much time being a leader, a doer, a builder, and an artist that I haven't had any spare time to concentrate on being a just a participant. I can tell you what I am going to build and how it's for the enjoyment of everyone else- but not what...

2 1/2 weeks until I am on the playa...HOLY SHIT!

So in a stroke of luck we added the crew from Pacific Domes to Bluehouse. Needless to say this solved our shade structure problem. We are going to have to reorganize the camp layout a little, but atleast it won't cost us anything. And with 2 1/2 weeks until Burning Man time and money are...

Ack more chaos-

Chaos is full of beauty and destruction and so was this weekend. I went down to Eugene, OR to As One (http://www.as1.info). Unbelievably great party- good music and people, I got horribly fucked up, I danced my ass off, I had tons of crazy bunny sex, and I got to go cliff jumping and slide down rock water slides. But not all...

Ok- I admit it. I have been hiding...

Or rather it's that time of the summer where my real life is far more interesting and pressing than my virtual one. Between work and women and planning for Burning Man there just isn't enough time for SG. I know it's heresy but I'll be back in the fall and I hope you will still love me...

Old school favorites for the weekend...I needed a change.

So I am heading back to Minnesota for my friends graduation this weekend. Being such a loyal friend, I have actually attended graduation every year since I graduated. And I will continue to do so for 1 more year when the last of my friends and my brother graduate.

I have a slight...

God it is so fucking beautiful in Seattle right now. Temperatures are approaching 80 degrees (that's extrememly hot for us) although you wouldn't know by looking at everyone still dressed in long sleeves and pants. And it's sunny- really sunny. I think it's time I got outside and took a nice long walk in the park.

And the heavens rumbled and the earth shook, as God commanded:
Go forth and party!
Go forth and protest!
Go forth and patronize the arts!
Go forth and party some more!

Friday Night: ***INFECTED MUSHROOM (Live)***
Saturday: Free Movement :: Free Day Party to Fight the RAVE Act!
Saturday Night: 2 Pianos, 4 Hands - Seattle Reperatory Theatre
Later that night into Sunday:...

A little religious art history is always good for a laugh...

The Vision of St Bernard

Take this painting from the Prado in Spain. I'm constantly amazed that St. Bernard wasn't burnt at the stake for claiming the Virgin Mary shot a stream of breast milk into his mouth. Nope- instead he was sainted. What will those wacky monks think of next... (Wonder what really...
