May I....

Two weekends ago my buddies and I went to a local drag night at Nocturnum BarClub. Our guys ran the gamut. We have a prospector, rancher, boatman, middle-aged rando, and an all around gangster punk! hah. This was a great night. My friend and amazing queen, Mantricka, was the host for the night.

Its been going well though. Working on a cold storage room at my friend's farm (first slip straw cold storage room out there). I stopped working at the remodel place, I think I bit off more than I could handle on that one, but it was worth a try :)

Here is how the tile turned out:

I learned many lessons from doing this project pertaining to my limits, communication, and general time management.















Last week, I went on a bike ride with my pal Violet and we had a wonderful ride towards Blue Lake. We stopped at Pump Station #2 to chill on the river for a while. Violet writes comics and is a part of this group called Comix-Trip. The comics are printed on transparencies and projected in front of an audience. At the end of the ride Violet showed me a super magical spot in Arcata, a giant cement whale in a sweet little neighborgood. Inside the head is a cavernous room. I will sculpt a similar thing at my place after summer. She inspires me to make my shadow puppet thing happen. Here are some pictures from that adventure:

It's been CRAZILY warm here lately. Very uncharacteristically so! Sunburns. Warm nights. Sunny windless days. All of this is opposite to how it usually is here at this time of year. The fire risk is as high now as it usually is in July. It's nuts, but very ideal for outdoor activity. Might as well enjoy it right?






We had a Sunday Brunch and it was just amazing. My roomie had some musician friends over; magical cello sounds. I'm almost done building a 7ft tall platform in our marsh so we can sunbathe and moongaze. wow its been nice hanging at home more.

It was Belatne on Saturday. CCAT (Campus Center for Appropriate Technology) had a rad celebration from 1pm to 10pm. There was a dance around the May pole, free yoga, free food, a really fun worm sex workshop, woodfired pizzas, and a wealth of fun/chill folks! Then percussion ensemble was than night too....so much going on. We have some amazing percussionists coming out of HSU, thats for sure.

Earlier today, I went with a new friend, Gretchen, to Stone Lagoon. We canoed around its perimeter and found a boat in campsite (no motors). It was kinda surreal and definitely prehistoric feeling. New adventures...yes! This place is rife with 'em.

Sprout Out!
