Nuts

I was at my parents house for a while last month and there are a lot of squirrels there. Big, overfed, eastern gray squirrels. There are flying squirrels too, and for flying squirrels they're probably fat too, but I've just never seen them anywhere else.
Pretty crazy right?

I've been working on a ton of stuff lately. I recently began working on Whitson's Memorial Greeting Hall in the Stood. SUNY Purchase students need to see what an awesome thing they have in that building. There is so much space that seems to go unused. A lot of it is for storage, and the Stood has a lot of stuff to store, but it would feel really rewarding to clean those spaces out and make them available for use to students.
Just a few days ago I found 2 pottery wheels in one room. I have no idea if they work. I should put them somewhere. Maybe in the Y.A.H! Gallery in case someone over there wants to use them. Or fix them. Or scrap them.
Anyway, it's awesome and Whitson's is looking pretty good. Soon we'll have it available for DIY shows on days that the General Programming Coordinator hasn't already booked.
To book a show, you have to wait until two weeks before the date you want. The GPC is expected to request Tech for a show at least 2 weeks in advance, after that, it's up to you guys to make something happen.
All the details will come out when it is at 100%

ELEMENO is moving strangely at the moment. We haven't played any of our old songs since we recorded and played the show at the Purchase Food Co-Op. It has been these long rough formations of songs. I think we're finding our feet after I decided to add more members.

Think about the difference between L M N O and ELEMENO
