Ostrich Feathers

I really like this video/song.



Guess what's on my mind
Ostrich feathers just like most of the time
excluding when I'm hopeful-
Read the news
Is it there to keep my feet firm to the sand
Or only so that I have somewhere soft to hide my head
It's hard to tell
I keep thinking for myself

Foxes in the yard
Like fire in the chicken coop, that's what they are
We could try to shoot them with our guns,
but that would take away from the spirit of the hunt

Lovers in a bed
Soaked in sweat and tears-
They've only just met
It seemed a scene at first until it clicked
now it seems they're siamese
Attached at the lips


Also, I'm really psyched for new Wilco and new Isis albums. I've been trying to get my hands on a leak, but I should just break down and order them. Oh to be not broke again, that would be great.

Going out with hopefully Trails, We Are Not Bears and Whiskey Education.

Many adventures - backlogs.

Hi everybody.
I have been lazy.
Sort of.
I have been busy.

I am the new Student Center Coordinator.
That is awesome.
Aaron Parsekian and I have some rad ideas for how to change the stood. So rad that I will make a new Stood blog tonight which you should check out often. I need a camera. And a video camera.

On the Thursday after Culture Shock, my master class had a showcase. Laurie-anne Creus, Matt Levy, Kelly Izzo and Joe Izzo

Hometown cab was kind of lame in a lot of ways, but it was also awesome. I never got to leave the mainstage for more than long enough to see Weston Minisalli's set at the co-op. I actually only saw the end of his last piece. It was music set to Bukowski. Pretty cool. Synth, voice, drums and one more instrument. I think originally it was for Crotales.

I played with the Disaster Piece for our first show. Thursday at 9, after Soul Voices on Mainstage. Beautiful birth.
Three songs, exhausting, awesome.
Disaster Piece is a slipknot song title I think. I don't know quite how I feel about that.
Only time will tell.
We also are recording a demo of the three songs. Vocals are the only thing left to go on.
It will be cool and I will talk all about it when the time comes.

Elemeno played on Saturday at 11 at Hometown Cab, on the mainstage again.
Matt Gaffney, Weston, Cameron Wisch, Zach DeSorbo, Andrew Brown and myself played music.
Alliah Sophia Mousad projected video portraits. This is her Youtube, but the newest movies on there seem like the predecessors to what she projected. Here is her blog which is only maybe hers.
We also had dancers. 8 of them I think. Leah Katz helped so much by gathering all of these people into one place. Leah, Gilbert Small, Hayley Swinburn, Nina Hudson, Nicole Restani, Chess Lopez, Austin Jarred and Sarah Stanley.
Watch this



This is only more of the progression of what I hope this project will become. I wish that I had bothered to arrange for a recording of this, but it only keeps getting better.
The next monday we opened for Tera Melos at Whitson's. It has some awesome pictures. We played with Spencer Murphy on Bass instaed of Andrew and Booker Stardrum was back.
