All of us here at The Do LaB are proud to announce our latest event
creation...

~Lucent Delirium~ "A Twisted Tribal Affair"
____________________________________________
http://www.thedolab.com/lucentdelirium.html
____________________________________________

If you've been to Lightning in a Bottle, Lucent L'amour, or the dome at
Coachella, then you know how much love and energy we pour into our events.
With Lucent Delirium we're going to take it to the next level. The Do LaB
has been working around the clock to ensure that Oct 1st
will be spectacular, certainly our greatest event yet, and we are excited
to share it with all of you.

What's in store for Lucent Delirium?

First off, we've teamed up with Lorin (Bassnectar) to help him release his
newest album "Mesmerizing the Ultra". He'll be playing a 2 hour set on a 4
corner turbo sound system shaking the bricks loose in the building. The
albums great, go check it out...

We're also bringing in world renowned dj Cheb i Sabbah as our special guest
to help us celebrate with his unique sounds of world music and bhangra beats.

And to spice things up a bit, we're having the dusty duo that rocked the
flower art car at Burning Man with their sexy acid jazz, Helios Jive! They
score the incredible music for Lucent Dossier and they bring us to our feet
every time!!!! If you've seen them before, then you've most likely danced
your booty off. It's fun, its fresh, its sexy, its the jive!

Also sharing their beats with us are the underground favorites David
Starfire, Patricio, Porter Tinsley, Jupiter, Dandelion, and Sammy Bliss.
Each of these dj's have been making waves in their respective communities
and we're bringing them all together for one night of madness.

The fun certainly doesn’t stop there though... We've got crazy entertainment
popping out of every corner starting with the Lucent Dossier Vaudeville
Cirque. They've been dancing up a storm and there's a new wacky show in
store for you.

Plus from San Diego, a sensual fire belly dance performance by the beautiful
ladies of Atash Maya and a cute and sassy show by DangerSassyPants.
You can also catch pieces of "Fancy", a one man clown
show by none other than Vladimir Levitansky, or gaze at an enormous junk
wall while master painters Shrine, Carlos, Jesse, and Shannon paint the hell
out of it in front of your eyes. Stop by the Stardust Salon and have
extensions put into your hair or visit Buddha Monkey's Bag of Accessories
and add a little something to bring your outfit to life. We'll also have
body painting and henna tattoos, and if you're feeling crafty you can mold
clay in a workshop with Christian the Blacksmith. Or just roam the gallery
to check out the art on the walls and sit back and relax in the
headphone lounge. Hungry? Grab an organic vegan snack
from PlayFood and re-energize, cause the music's still banging and there's lots
of fun to be had!!

There's so much more madness to tell you about, but you'll have to come and see
it for yourself. We're super excited about it and we hope you are too!!

Much love,

The Do LaB

Unst unst Unst Unst

2005-08-10T10:28:28Z

I'd like to introduce my new bouncing baby sound system.
Rane Mixer, 2 Gemini DCJs, and....
2 Gemsound MAP1000 3-way speakers.
[Hey, I said BAYBEEE]
Anyway, The nice part about three-way speakers is that I can use them as monitors on Derek's system (and throw the CDs on there too), Stand them off as main speakers for my fire troupe, or spit them and plug a cd into each for ambient sounds in separate rooms.

Swing by Inferno Camp (2:30 Amnesia) to see them in action...

Reflections (at Alchemy)

2005-05-16T02:13:06Z

Okay, so, as Kandice would put it, the Universe has not supplied us with our ideal location for Reflections II yet, and we received a phone call from Wolfie that seemed like another door opening. TDK will be running a stage at Alchemy, the Official LA Precomression party, hosted by the folks that brought you Burn on the Fourth of July.

Does this mean we've sold out? No.

Does this mean there will be no Reflections II? Maybe, we haven't decided. If we do hold it, it will be late June in the above mentioned perfect location.

Does this mean that there won't be a Reflections Memorial day event next year? Definitely not. Last year's precomression threw against Forth of Ju-Psy, next year's may be against cinco de Mayo, who knows. But if we CAN get the location we want by next year, we'll do it.

Does this mean that you're looking for talent for your stage? Yes. Drop a line here with your sales pitch if you like, but I'd prefer you send a letter to tdk (at) tedward (dot) org. Send something to Derek too, though I'm not sure where he want's it.

Send:
Band/DJ name
Real names of all in your act.
A description of what you do (music types, pyro, etc).
Your logo if applicable.
Send CD's to Bearclaw: http://www.bearclawmfg.com/about.html

Will there be Fire Spinning? Maybe. Since the local officials, the venue owners, the Alchemy crew and the guy in charge of the open spin area (me) can all decide to cut off spinning at any time, I'll suggest that you bring your tools, fuels and safety equipment, then check in with me BEFORE you light up. Be ready for a tool check and get a copy of the nafaa safety regs: http://nafaa.org/nafaa_safety.html. Also, right now, it's kinda looking like you may need to have your own insurance to spin. that's not for sure, but it should be a little motivations to get insured... :)

New volunteer for an art committee

2005-05-12T23:15:34Z

Hi,

I have been a lurker and am now going to be more active (than I have been) on Tribe. I just found out that I have been accepted as a volunteer for an art committee for a community center.

So if anyone is an artist/ performer or performance troupe, send me an email so I can take a list of ideas & suggestions to the next meeting.

The community center is trying out new things and this is one of the new ideas to bring more social stuff to the center; where each month will be a different theme.

HELP SAVE THE BLACK ROCK DESERT, PLEASE SIGN NOW!!

2005-05-03T02:05:37Z

Dear friends ,

Here is the link to the petition against the proposed Sempra coal
fired power plant that is planned to be located just outside Gerlach. It would be the largest coal-plant in the US, and it is the old dirty coal technology. It will essentially change the land out there forever if we don't act now and sign this petition!

The link will take you to the petition page which is part of a
very informative website that has been developed to inform the public about this coal plant, SIGN IT NOW!!

http://www.nevadacleanenergy.org/takeaction.html

Please pass this link on to your lists and anyone who can help stop this plant from going up...... Remember, the
plume from this plant would extend hundreds of miles into what is currently one of the most pristine areas in the continental US.

Here is a list of how it would effect the area:

The plant will release more than 50 dangerous pollutants, including arsenic, lead and mercury, into the air we breathe.

The power generated will be exported to Southern California, where the law prohibits this type of plant to be built.

Coal-fired plants are the nation’s largest source of mercury pollution, known to affect children’s learning abilities even with exposure to small amounts.

Clean alternatives are available that would cost the same and produce the same quantity of electricity.

The plant will consume 14.2 millions of gallons of scarce desert ground water every day—over 5 billion gallons a year—diverting water from plants and drinking holes relied upon by deer, elk and wild horses.

At more than twice the size of the Statue of Liberty, the plant’s 650-foot tall smoke stack will tower over the desert landscape.

The plant’s coal burner emissions would be equivalent to adding about two million cars to the roadways.

During the five years of power plant construction, an estimated 100-200 trucks and 800 workers will congest normally quiet roadways daily.

Thank you and long live the Black Rock Desert,
Justin Credible

NextAid, "Using the beats of our generation to provide hope for the next."

NextAid is a Los Angeles based non-profit organization dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for African children orphaned as a result of AIDS. By partnering with other organizations in the production of music benefits and awareness raising activities, NextAid channels emergency and long-term aid to African children in need.

NextAid is committed to represent the international dance community as the charity promoting an effective and practical response to the AIDS pandemic. NextAid aims to inspire people into tangible action, taking responsibility and making a difference. We believe it is each generation's responsibility to create a better future for the next.

More specifically about our pilot project:

Our pilot project is the building of an earth-friendly multi-purpose center for children orphaned by AIDS, for the youth group, Youth With A Vision (YWAV), and the larger community, in a poverty stricken township called Dennilton, 2 hours outside of Johannesburg. YWAV are determined to stop the spread of AIDS to their peers. They use theater and music to teach AIDS awareness and other critical issues. The HIV/AIDS rate in this part of South Africa is approximately 37%!

We are working with Eco-Architect Joe Kennedy to create this center that will be a showcase of green building design and a template for many such centers throughout the continent. It will be a place where resources can be concentrated, where aid can be efficiently distributed, where environmental education will be emphasized, and where the youth can reach their individual and collective potential.

HELP US HELP OTHERS....

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING EVENT GOOD MUSIC, FRIENDS, DRINKS AND AN OCEAN OF POSSIBILITIES....

COME AND SOAK IN A FULL MOON AND ENJOY OUR MUSIC AND ALLOW US TO COME THROUGH FOR SUCH A GOOD CAUSE. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THIS SATURDAY!!!

MUCH LOVE ....

The Dream Co(llective)

2005-03-30T09:56:58Z

So, many of you may be familiar with me from parties, fire performances, various sexual astrology posts, or pleas for rides between LA and San Francisco. It's possible that I've talked to (or at!) you about Dream Co(llective) and how I want to establish a travelling higher conscious show with organic food, conscious music, psychedelic art, clothing and cool shit made from recycled materials, along with information on alternative ways to live outside the box, eat healthy, heal yourself naturally, etc. All broadcast by pirate radio/internet radio of course, and transported by bio-diesel buses.

Now, I want to leave every party I throw open to donations, let people pay what they can afford so everyone who wants to, gets to come. If you know me, you know I do my work with astrological guidance and Goddess oracle advice on the same principle, helping people comes first and everything else is secondary. So here's what I'm trying to do...below is a list of some of the skills I have. It's not all of them, just the ones I can think of right now. I've lead a diverse, crazy and highly nomadic lifestyle with one of the strangest array of work skills of anyone I know, so if you need something done, chances are I can do it. I'm offering my skills in exchange for any help at all with making this dream a reality:

-Freelance writer, researcher, fact checker and editor for 10 years professionally
-Astrologer -specializing in the astrology of human sexuality and relationships
-Tarot card reader -The Goddess Guidance Oracle cards, which are source of feminine wisdom and guidance.
-PR work
-Hand drummer
-Fire poi spinner
-Erotic poet and custom writer of erotic fiction
-Photographer
-Event promoter
-Talent agent - specializing in fire artists, drummers, jugglers, circus talent, etc.
-PA (both production assistant and personal assistant)
-Gourmet chef:including vegetarian and raw
-Film editor (AVID system)
-House/pet sitter
-Dog walker
-Horse groomer
-Pirate radio station DJ/owner
-Club DJ
- Medical marijuana work
-Secretary (type 65 words per minute average speed)
-Transcriber
-Carpenters assistant, drywall assistant, painter, gardener, various other manual labor jobs
-Au pair
-Tutor for ESL students and children

I'm hoping to throw the first Dream CO(llective) show on 4/20. Keep checking the Dream CO(llective) tribe http://dreamcollective.tribe.net/
for updates. So spaces to throw BY DONATION parties (which means cheap or free, preferably!) lighting, money, materials, laptops, transport, equipment (preferably attached to people who want to come and check it out) positive energy and the desire to bring up the level of awareness in humanity, etc are all things that we could really use. The first cause we want to fundraise for is a digital video camera that is open to be used by whoever in the Dream CO(llective) needs it for higher conscious causes to be recorded.

I'm aware that this is a long shot, but I want all those little places that have no clue what Burning Man is all about to have their eyes opened, too. We coastal communities are lucky because we have information sources to enlighten us and open our eyes. I'd like the rest of North America to get that same chance.

Keep dreaming...

Thank you for all of your insights, advise, assistance, help, motivation, patience, and love...you were an integral asset. I am honored and blessed to call each of you a friend and an affiliate.

As for any participant who is interested...
I have given many of you a personal thank you note from Alex Grey, himself. If you have not received yours yet, and would like to have one, please send me an e/mail (to: laCoSMevents@yahoo.com) with your mailing address and I will get it to you as time allows.

And, I would like to thank our extended family for all of your hospitality as we created this event from the road, may you have the best that life has to offer!

What an honor it was to be able to witness the complete manifestation of something that was just an idea in late December '04. Watching the dream become a reality was a sacred experience for me, one that will forever live within my being, transforming my world. I am extremely blessed to have been a part of this project, co-creating conscious community space for all to inspire within.

Because of everyone's contributions, ONE was a total success.
This was the first fully Chapel-funded event in Los Angeles.
We had just under 300 participants and just over 1,000 guests join us for the festivities!
More people now know about the Chapel, it's mission, and the work of Alex Grey.
There were no major injuries or mishaps, everyone was alchemically protected.
The community came together to share ONE magical experience together.
The dissemination of good will and conscious information was priceless.
And, after expenses, we raised over $4,000 for the Chapel!
Many thanks to all of you for your community work in creating ONE!

Some comments I have heard thus far...
"It was such a spiritual experience for me, I really walked away feeling enlightened and renewed"
"It was like Burning Man, indoors, that's the best way I can describe it"
"Thank you A Kaos Kreation for creating a sacred space to dance in, we need more events like this in the city"
If you would like to share your experience, tell a story, write a testimonial, thank someone or give us your comments, please send it to laCoSMevents@yahoo.com AND psythos@earhlink.net, we would love to hear feedback about the event and what it has ignited in your life! With divine timing- pictures, comments, video, and such will be posted on or linked from www.CoSM.org and www.AKaosKreation.com. We thank you for your patience.

May our community's vision of Unity, Love, Peace and Universal Compassion live in our daily lives as we move positively into a future where anything's possible,

"ONE"- COSM fundraiser- Call 4 Participants!

2005-02-17T23:20:28Z

Hoopy Huladays fabulous family!

Great news! Our LA/SB/SF family has another opportunity to show our support for Alex Grey www.AlexGrey.com and his Chapel of Sacred Mirrors http://www.cosm.org/index.html. This fundraising event, “ONE” will take place the first weekend of March 05’ in Hollywood.

I am currently looking for a production team, sound systems, lighting, decor and various talents...DJs, bands, (fire)dance troopes, hoping groups, ariel/flyers, stillt walkers, artists, poets, massage therapists etc. This will be an all-night, indoor event with Alex Grey (and family) creating a sacred space with their poetry, spoken word, and visual art.

Like Reflections 2004, “ONE” will be a fundraiser, thus, all participation will be considered a gift to Alex Grey, his family, and The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. The COSM is a place for non-denominational worship and introspection of the infinite possibilities created when one realizes their connection to THE ONE. I support any avenue that may help to open the doors to true equality amongst all beings on Mother Earth, and I feel that COSM is one of them.

If you are an educator, a talented/visionary artist, an activist, an environmentalist, a conscience consumer, an inspiration, or one of the transcended...perhaps this project will align with your higher self's ideals and goals. So, PLEASE, consider being a part of this community vision for achieving a better tomorrow.

Uniting our national community with divine love in my heart,
Kandice Korves

The Do LaB brings you …
Lucent L ’Amour - A celebration of love in the highest light.

Deep in the isle of the French Tahitian waters in the village of Renegat, a magical tribal girl, Lucent, beats a lone drum for her aching heart. The tribal leaders have cast the boy she loves to sea. His crime is a love so fierce he is unable to work, unable to focus on anything but the beauty of Lucent. He rows his tiny banana boat through the rugged waters of the great Pacific. He never wanders too far away, he swirls in the deep and delirius sea, he stays close enough to feel the beating of her drum, the beating of her drum.

2004-12-22T03:44:12Z

Okay, so here it goes....
Bush is IN, so let's get OUT!
How would everyone feel about having Reflections in Mexico?
The novelty of another country.
A pretty four-hour drive from LA at the most.
No concerns of getting broken up.
Trees, sand, and the ocean!!!!!!

So- this is the idea....
We choose a scouting team and go down to Mexico. We go straight to the authorities and say, "we are throwing a 2,000 person party on the beach, where can we have it?" Then, tell them that we will pay them $1 per person at the fest to stay away from it...in fact, we may even want police protection from anyone else coming into the event that doesn't belong there in exchange for thier profit. I believe that we can find the perfect piece of private property and be able to work out some kind of deal with the authorities. It's amazing what a little bribeing can do for you in a corrupt country...

So- is there anyone in our Giving Tree that is from Mexico...anyone have family or friends there? Anyone know how I can reach someone with property there? Would someone who knows how to speak fluent Spanish like to come with us on the scouting trip?....we need a translator with us for solid communication. Any suggestions, connections, volunteers?

Derek did bring up the fact that we don't have the same rights there. Ted is concerned about the border patrol and souvrenty. Personally, I feel that if we find a space there, everything else will fall into place...authorities, safety, no hassel at the border...in fact, i envision a link to a Mexican Insurance company from our site for guests to purchase thier car insurance for thier trip. Anyhow, I feel like those may be things that we will find out more about when we take the first scouting trip, and start asking questions. Does anyone know a Mexican Lawyer, someone who knows Mexican law? Would love to get in contact with anyone that could help us in making this decision.

What are your thoughts?

By the way, we are discussing coolaboration with others and may extend the event to be a full week...just an idea...putting it out there....what do you think?

Thank you for all of your insights and help...I love you all, Kandice

p.s. I have always envisioned throwing an event for New Years 2012 (the end of the Mayan calender) at the pyramids in Egypt...but maybe I dreampt about the pyramids in Mexico...maybe this could be the begining...do you think?

Curtis Coleman needs your help.

2004-12-12T23:41:46Z

I'm reposting for a friend in need....

Dear Friends,

Our best friend is dying, We are sad as hell, and We are asking for your help. Now is the time to show that “community ”and “connections ”mean a lot more than just bopping around at late-night parties together.

Our friend ’s name is Curtis Coleman. He gives a lot to the world, and we desperately need what he gives. He runs the Cult of E.R.I.C. village at Burning Man and a member of the Pagoda of Infinite Reflection this year on the playa. Last year, he was the nation ’s most popular elementary school entertainer, reaching tens of thousands of young kids through song to teach them about safety, public spirit, and most importantly, that they have a voice. We need our children to find their voice.

Curtis now has no voice, fighting an aggressive cancer in his throat called squamous cell carcinoma. Soon Curtis will have neck dissection surgery, plus aggressive radiation & chemo. On paper his chances of survival are less than 1 in 4, but cancer victims facing far worse odds have been “miraculously ”cured when enough people came together to make it happen. We do amazing things together within our respective families, so please, please participate in saving Curtis ’life and prove we can do amazing things together within our community.

So many of you know Curtis, are stunned by this news, and have already asked how you can help. Some of Curtis ’closest friends have put together a plan of action we hope everyone connected to Curtis in any way will participate in. We need three things immediately for Curtis: money, time, and love.

Money: Curtis has no insurance, and the most promising medical treatments aren ’t covered by the county ’s last resort coverage. If everyone that sees this gives up a couple lattes and contributes at least $10 or more if you can, we ’ll be on our way to giving Curtis the best chance possible at life. Please help as much as you can RIGHT NOW by using Paypal –the long link is after this paragraph. If it doesn ’t work go to www.Paypal.com and enter account number friendsofcurtis@yahoo.com. Or, send a check to “Friends of Curtis ”at 1142 Garfield Ave, San Jose CA 95125. All donations will go to the Friends of Curtis Foundation.

Paypal link: www.paypal.com/xclick/bus.....riendsofcurtis%40yahoo.com&item_name=Friends+of+Curtis&cn=Note+To+Curtis%3A&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US

Time: Curtis ’girlfriend Andi needs help to cope with the huge burden of caring for Curtis over the months to come. If you can help with time for finding treatments, delivering an anti-cancer diet, transportation, lots of social visits, a mailing list, or even household tasks like mowing the lawn it would be tremendously helpful. Contact FriendsOfCurtis@yahoo.com and you ’ll find out that when you reach your hand out to someone that needs it, your hand never comes back empty.

Love: Whether or not you can help with time or money, you can help with love in so many ways. Visualize the tumors melting away into nothing, and a healthy Curtis making hundreds of kids a day laugh and learn again with his unique talent and beautiful voice. Put Curtis in your prayer circles, or your altars, or whatever connects your energy to the universe. Radiation is powerful medicine, but the love force of many can change the world. Help change the world now through one man that has touched so many of us and our children.

Ok, right now, just do it! Send at least $10, figure out how else you can help, and send a prayer. Then please forward this letter to everyone in your tribe and email lists with a personal note about how you are connected to Curtis, and ask them to participate in supporting my lifelong friend. Stand up for what is good in the world by asking everyone you know to help. Check out www.FriendsOfCurtis.com that will be set up soon. And thank you for the love. We are all in this together, and grateful for your help.

Reflections II

2004-11-27T11:10:44Z

Okay, so I finally got the call from Kandice that I've been expecting (and half dreading) for several months: she wants to pick an artist to highlite in Reflections II. I'm outta that conversation, but I CAN start on the location.

So, we need a location for Reflections II. It's looking like Songdog won't be settled by then. So, we're looking at some other location. I'm thinking that we'll need space for 1500 people if we go unrestricted, and it should be some place we can reserve for Memorial day (which may limit BLM lands). If we can't find a 1500+ person venue, then we'll have to go with Gold Creek and limit tickets to fit the space.

Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study

2004-11-17T18:58:55Z

I've been hearing a lot about this lately ... please sign!

Dear friend,

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to
launch an
outrageous new study in which participating low income families will
have
their children exposed to toxic pesticides over the course of two
years. For
taking part in these studies, each family will receive $970, a free
video
camera, a T-shirt, and a framed certificate of appreciation. The
study
entitled CHEERS (Childrenâ€™s Environmental Exposure Research Study)
will
look at how chemicals can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed by
children
ranging from babies to 3 years old.

Please take a moment to follow this link and join tens of thousands
of
citizens in petitioning the EPA to terminate this study prior to its
proposed launch in early 2005.

More information, related newspaper headlines and petition here:

http://www.organicconsumers.org/epa-alert.htm

Please also forward this message.

This Thursday

2004-11-17T05:02:26Z

Derek,

I hope you don't mind me posting this here. Tobias is throwing another fundraiser for his charity this Thursday in Santa Monica and the proceeds are going to an AIDS orphange in Thailand. The first one was held at the Naked Loft back in October and was very successful. I'd love if you all could make it to this one too!

----------------

Next THURSDAY, November 18th, at CLUB SUGAR in Santa Monica
A fundraiser for HIV/AIDS and abandoned children of Sarnelli House in Thailand...

The second Party for Change

---------------------------
Featuring DJs:
PORTER TINSLEY (PorterTinsley.com)
SAMMY BLISS (NinjaSkillzMusic.com)
& THE SAYNT (NinjaSkillzMusic.com)
---------------------------

Artwork and Photographs: The Children of Sarnelli
$5-10 Donation at the door.

HumanTranslation.Org is dedicated to translating our own pursuit of happiness into a methodology for helping others. We are using our passion, our joy, and our music to make a difference.

All door proceeds go towards food and the purchase of milk-tablets. Young children in rural Thailand tend to be calcium deficient, and because many of these kids are living with HIV, calcium supplements are in dire need.

VIP - Venice

2004-11-03T20:31:43Z

So it would seem the measure has passed in favor of corporate interest.

It is a sad day that will be overlooked by many and yet its effect will be felt by all who visit this community that has become my home.

The Requiem for the Venice community as we know it has begun.

HELP! VENICE BEACH IS IN JEOPARDY!

2004-11-02T08:50:10Z

When friends or family come from out of state to visit me I am often asked to "show them LA". Without fail, I always bring them down to Venice Beach. 365 days a year you can walk down the Venice boardwalk and witness people of all race, sex, age and religion exercising freedoms of expression similar to that which so many of us only enjoy while AT Burning Man.

After a leisurely and entertaining stroll down the boardwalk I lead them out on the sand to the Venice drum circle. Here they are offered a rare opportunity to participate in an activity that is culturally meaningful. Usually we end up dancing and drumming until the climactic drumming crescendo at sunset. In a seemingly ancient and tribal way, together we bid 'farewell' to the sun. Despite any differences we are then instantly connected by many different drums all creating one music. One heartbeat.

This is LA for me.

In fact, while so many other communities have sold their soul and yielded to the insistent advance of the corporate ‘Starbucks Generation ’invasion, Venice, for the most part, has held strong. You don't need to look far away to see the 'promised land' this kind of invasion would deliver. Huntington Beach is perfect example of this homogenized transformation the developers would have for this last artist ’s stronghold.

Venice is now in jeopardy. Venice needs your help. Here is a post from Fysche to show you how you can help preserve a community that is Burner friendly.

---For more info and discussion on this and other Philburnanthropic (latin for ‘love of burning mankind ’) topics, please visit THE GiViNG TREE tribe:

www.tribe.net/tribe/96755...13b3-4754-a3b5-203a669c123e

Following is the posting from Fysche who details this impending matter and what you can do to help.

Thank you for your support!

cheat sheet for tomorrow's ballot

2004-11-02T04:59:30Z

a link to the LA Weekly voter's guide, which explains their stance on the propositions that will be on tomorrow's ballots. It is very laymen-friendly and falls nearly exactly in line with how I'll be voting tomorrow (progressive)

http://www.laweekly.com/ink/printme.php?eid=57781

Here are some I felt were important to share from me to you, but check out that link above to get summaries on the rest of the propositions.

Prop 64- NO

Big businesses are behind this prop so it'd make it near impossible to sue without first proving financial/property loss by an individual. They claim it will help decrease frivolous lawsuits but in actuality this weakens the only state law that allows us to take big business to court over issues like polluting the environment, engaging in unfair business practices, fraudulent advertising, etc.

Prop 66 - YES

Amends the 3 Strikes law so that only felons that are convicted of 3 violent/serious felonies will be put away 25 to life. Currently someone can be put away for life if their 3rd felony is something as trivial as stealing a loaf of bread. this Prop also toughens penalties for child sex offenders (good)

Prop 67 - YES YES YES

This will establish a 3% phone tax to help support emergency care. I trained as an EMT years ago and have seen how poorly funded and burdened our emergency care system is. This tax won't fix the underlying problem but in the meantime will provide desperately needed money to stem the tide of ER's closing due to financial woes. The opponents of this one are BIG PHONE COMPANIES. The supporters are firefighter, nurse, paramedic associations. they're asking for help, DON'T IGNORE THIS PROP

Prop 69 - BIG FUCKING NOOOOOOO

They're wanting to establish a DNA database for criminals, but this prop says if you merely get arrested and NOT convicted, they will put your biological data in the system. As I've nearly been arrested everytime I attend a protest, plus I HATE everything the Patriot Act stands for, i say a big fuck you to this one.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIVE IN LOS ANGELES:

LA city measure O

clean beaches by providing a budget to redirect sewer water AWAY from the beach.
no formal opposition on this one, just not enough publicity.

if you live in SM/Venice, you know how we can't go swimming for days after it rains? well this will help in a big fucking way.

thanks for reading.... HAPPY VOTING TOMORROW!

FUCK BUSH!!!

Banh Trang Dua

2004-10-29T01:23:10Z

A friend recently told me he was upset he hadn't been introduced to sushi by his parents. Here is a new food that if you haven't tried you should.

It is a traditional vietnamese rice bread made with coconut milk, sugar, rice flour, sesame seeds, and water. It is delicious. 100X better than rice cakes, flat bread, potato bread or anything similar looking.

I was in Texas and a woman in the office who was originally from Vietnam bought it back from a local market. She gave me the whole bag. It is already half gone. It is incredible.

Apparently it is available in the Vietnamese community in LA too. Find it, buy it, eat it - Banh Trang Dua. YUMMY!

Space Island's doing a halloween party! I put the listing somewhere on tribe, but here's the link to the flyer.

You know the drill. Incredible music, cool venue, great drinks, kickass people... Flyer has all the details, but $10 in costume, $15 in street clothes. And yes, I'll even be working the back bar at some point (a scary night indeed).

The Songdog Ranch is in Trouble!

2004-10-23T01:52:49Z

The owners of the ranch that hosted REFLECTIONS are being forced by the authorities to close and sell their property. They are such kind and beautiful people, I cannot bear the thought of this happening to them. Please. If any of you know a lawyer that might be able to help, contact myself or Tedward.

The authorities are coming down on them. This will be one more amazing location that will no longer exist if we cannot help them somehow.

I fear that the LIB location may be next! What's to stop them?

Why shouldn't it be okay for us to go out and dance all weekend to music w/ our friends. This is not right!

What can we do?
