As spring quickens into summer, visions of geodesic domes floating on clouds of dust begin to tug on my consciousness. My mind dreams of possibilities of plenty for our desert wonderland in Black Rock City.
Raine and I are joining forces on the playa this year and planning to install a luscious and sultry poetry lounge at the Playa's only camp dedicated to hip hop,** "Cyphertown" **
We are excited to be collaborating with this fine group of folks from the bay area. Music with conscious vibes........ChEcK! out their shteeze at cyphertown.org... I wanted to be sure that any of the homies that want to camp with us at Cyphertown have the info to register asap.
There is an early registration price of $300 for the camp (before June 21st) which includes a meal plan (2meals a day and 24 hour snax), workshops, biodiesel sound system, dining area tents, showers?, a fabulous chill zone provided by yours truly, and a prime camping location on the 2 o'clock edge of the map.
Registration goes up to $330 after June 21st.
Register here: www.cyphertown08.eventbrite.com
I think there is an option to only pay $150 and not get the meal plan. If you are interested in this option then let me know.
I wish all of our friends could come and camp with us there!
That may be a little much to ask, but hey, the American dream must be bigger, better, more, right?
What is with that theme this year anyway? the american dream?>....
The land of opportunity and abundance it where we reside. What is the dream we will create?

Call me, email me or Raine if you want to be involved. We are looking to put together a team to install a large dome and transform it.
Even if you cannot, you must come and find us since you know where we will be sending down our roots for that fleeting week of desert sunrises, exhibition and inspiration.
Looking forward to this creative endeavor
Hooooooot!

Astrologers call the period between ages twenty-eight and thirty "Saturn Return." That's because it's the first time the planet Saturn completes its cycle (29.5 years) through your birth chart and returns to the spot it occupied when you were born. Internationally respected astrologer Rob Hand calls Saturn Return "one of the most important times in your life. . . a time of endings and new beginnings."
What I have read suggests that this is a hard time for most people, complete reevaluation of everything. Time to strip away that which does not serve you, face your weaknesses, make a place for yourself in the world and your community.
Well, I must say that I am feelin' it. Feeling the new beginnings, the death to old ways. Shedding skin, layers of illusion that cloud the light of my true self. Last night I danced away pain and welcomed in strength and self-love. I am so greatful for exstatic dance--so empowering--so healing. It has been the medium for me to transform so many pieces of myself while connecting with my community, myself, and the earth through the heartbeat of the music. I must say that so far I am not sad, frustrated or depressed, just introspective. And excited. I have such great plans and I know that spirit guides me when I listen to my heart. sounds a bit cheesy, but hey. Time to get real here.
To all those who walk with me on this journey of spinning and weaving-thank you for reflecting and sharing and loving. I am blessed.

School is great and all, but I need a road trip and a good party! Just a little reminder for myself that I am not a slave to that institution I signed up for. I can't wait to dance real good and real long. wanna come? hoot.
