."a self portrait of sorts".

fair warning:
this door swings without a hinge
a contradiction
this spiral ends where it begins
king fantastic
sarcastic wax top with a crooked spin
fables and fiction
a monkey tap dancing on the fringe

listen to every word i say and hear nothing
read between the syllables; syntax and facts mean nothing
leave the ish and -isms and assumptions at the door
i came to play the game with no intention of keeping score

and what's more is i can see beyond the sea from these heights
high enough to forget the restless days and sleepless nights
that we used to have to fight with both fists to stay in it
a tiny acorn with an orchard of oak trees within it

.keep the channel open.

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action
and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable it is nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.
Keep the channel open.

No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than others.

-Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille ("Dance to the Piper")

i really needed this today. not sure why i've been so worrisome lately, especially with how great things have been going. this note from the universe really hit home for me and had me all choked up in my cubicle. i figured you might get a kick out of it, too.

You needn't worry. There is time. You have all the time in the world. You preceded time and you will exist beyond it. Age is irrelevant; more meaningless than a number. Forever, Nick, you have FOREVER. There is no dream ... read more

well, we're just taking over LA for now. rest of the world - you're on our list.
be afraid.

in case you haven't heard yet, the premier run of Beneath was a huge success.
we sold out all four nights, almost every LA news network sent reporters and camera crews to the shows, and we all had a fucking blast. in fact, we had such a blast that we decided to do it again!

due to overwhelming demand, we're extending the run of the show for two more days - Friday August 1st and Saturday Augu... read more

that's right, y'all.
after three or four(ish) years of fundraising, mime bashing and burningman-ing, Cirque Berzerk is finally doing a full run of circus shows in downtown LA complete with klowns, fire, aerial acrobatics, little people, really tall people, an original score - and all under our big top.

the entire crew has been working SO freakin' hard on making this a mind blowing and ass rocking show.
and i say that having by FAR the easiest job out of any carnie involved.

wow.
holy crap, wow.

that was one helluva weekend.
and it was EXACTLY what i needed.

way, WAY too many highlights to list... so i won't even start.
let's just say, it was perfect.

i am still overflowing with all kinds of mushy hippie love sauce, and i will probably continue to ooze for quite a while.
thank you SO much to the DO Lab and all their hard working volunteers.

really, thank you.

on a somewhat unrelated note, i posted a few new demo tracks on my music p... read more

.what my family says.

Nick the Neck has been known to drink strange concoctions prescribed to him by Dr. Knob. It turns him into the illustrious Mr. Bleep (often mistaken for Hunter S. Thompson), the master of all things techy, minimal, and just plain silly.
