The 12X12

shut up, he explained

shut up, he explained

I told everyone I was going to be at the door taking tickets “early”, but it turns out I did the 730 p.m. to close shift at the OVAC 12X12 show. Saw lots of my peeps and tweeps. I got a flashing star to put on my lapel to indicate that I was a volunteer, but most people couldn’t stand to talk to me while it brightly went from blue to red — it was seizure-inducing, several people said.
I started to “make a night of it” and stopped by Flip’s. Saw Julie P., her enfianced sister and a couple of friends, but after that, on my way to who knows where, I just sort of quit and went home about 10:30 or 11 p.m. Guess I’d been on my feet longer than I thought.
Don’t tell anyone, but I thought the 12X12 was weaker this year than in years past. The economy?

Mesta Festa crowd at 3:30 p.m. Saturday

Mesta Festa crowd at 3:30 p.m. Saturday

This is a shot from Mesta Festa, the annual Mesta Park festival at NW 19th and Shartel.
It was a very laid back “do”. CoopAleWorks and Cafe Evoke and Prohibition Room were there to serve about 2-300 people (at that time).
I’ll be at the 12X12 show taking tickets at the door later tonight. Hope to see you there!

R.I.P. G-Spot

GalileoFarewell092309
Just heard from reliable source that Isis and Galileo’s on Paseo have closed the doors forever. I can’t say how sad this is for me because those places and people have been a big part of my life for a very long time. I think it’s also a big blow to the Paseo community because the G-Spot was such an important part of First Friday and the annual Paseo Fest. Sandy, Tina, Vet … Love you guys and hope it works out well for you after this tough time.

There are three nekkid couples frolicking in the rain outside my house.
A cardinal pair, a mockingbird pair and a bluejay pair are enjoying the rain this morning.

I’ve watched them play, sing, talk, preen and just completely enjoy God’s bathtime. Each pair has kept to itself and the male and female have been quite close together up on the roof, along my front wall and in the Rose of Sharon right outside by studio window.
The female cardinal was particularly talkative, although the bright red male would, on occasion, interrupt briefly.
The mockingbirds put on a duet that included a very long call that included the lyrics and melody of several other songbirds. Cover tunes, you might say.
The bluejay male is a brute, cocky about his manhood and dominance, and he’s shouting at all the other birds to get off his lawn.
Not to anthropromorphize or anything.

I don’t have anything to say, I just thought you guys would like to see my most recent thumbnail picture.
Notice the hairdo, please. That is EXACTLY what my hair looks like every time I dye it green. I don’t know what is UP with that, but it makes me feel just so … so … fabulous.
Fuck that dead druggie. Caesar Romero, Si!

Nick Kristof, via a Slate book review:

They start with an extraordinary fact that shows how deep this abuse runs. Today, now, more than 100 million women are missing. They have vanished. In normal circumstances, women live longer than men—but China has 107 males for every 100 females in its overall population, India has 108, and Pakistan has 111. Where have these women gone? They have been killed or allowed to die. Medical treatment is often reserved for boys, while violence against women is routine. More girls are killed in this “gendercide” each decade than in all the genocides of the 20th century. This year, another 2 million girls will “disappear.”

Staggering.
