Hell yeah! Now THAT was a good time. The whole time we were setting up we were saying to each other: “I’ve got a good feeling about this one.” And we were right.
Thank you to all who attended: more than 300 of you freakers who love to dance all night (and some of you who like to swim at dawn). DownLow could not have asked for a better time.
Shout out to Goolie/Radiant Atmospheres for the lighting, Darin/Pronoia for sound and DJing (drum and bass to close out his set, who knew?), Jay f...

Wow! Thanks for all the quick responses people. I've got the ticket and will see everyone on the playa. I'll be with False Proft at 4:30 & Esplanade. I'll be making my Chinese herbal tea infusions to help combat the harsh playa elements again so come by with a big ass mug or Nalgene bottle and I'll brew you up a big batch.

1) I am an unapologetic culinary hedonist & unabashed food fetishist. Food is one of my greatest passions in life. I love eating, cooking, grocery shopping, restaurant spelunking and potlucking. Sharing food with others is how I express affection (so if I offer you a bite of my ener...

minimifidianism: n. having almost no faith or belief.
misotramontanism: n. hatred of the unknown.
misapodysis: n. hatred of undressing in front of someone.
A triple-crippling tripartite triumvirate no doubt... Thankfully, I only suffer from one of the above. And that, only sometimes.
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies...
Mendaciloquentlly yours,
Tamara

These fleeting appearances - that is sensory appearances - are like writing on water, leaving no trace. Rest soley in the essence of being, the unique immediacy of sensory appearances.
Recollection is like a bird flying through space, leaving no trace. Rest soley in the total purity that underlies all thought - the unique immediacy of the thinking process.
Confusion is like a bird released from a snare, naturally free. Rest soley in the unique immediacy of emptiness.
Original Purity is like recovering from a virulent disease, in that there is no turning back. Find freedom in the unique immediacy of awareness.

The pleasure of the text is that moment when my body pursues its own ideas - for my body does not have the same ideas I do.
-Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text
What is It is also Other, what is Other is also It...Are there really It and Other? Or really no It and Other? Where neither It nor Other finds its opposite is called the axis of the Way. When once the axis is found at the centre of the circle there is no limit to responding with either, on the one hand no limit to what is it, on the other no limit to what is not. Therefore I say: "The best means is Illumination."
-Zhuang Zi, The Inner Chapters
Such is the question: the alliance of speech and Being in the unique word, in the finally proper name. And such is the question inscribed in the simulated affirmation of différance. It bears (on) each member of this sentence: "Being / speaks / always and everywhere / throughout / language."
-Jacques Derrida, Différance
" "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." "

"Body of thought"
I hadn't thought of that phrase in a while. But I spent quite some time yesterday "thinking" with my being. I thought it was mere thinking. But as I recounted the process to a friend this morning, I realized my heart and soul were also present and involved in the - feeling : divining : integrating : projecting - which had its locus within me.
What did I integrate : metaphor : see : find?
The end of the Earth.
And its birth.

Tamara is an angel masquerading as a devil whilst living her dream as a complex but down-to-earth Wing Chun Freudian/healer. You see, like a diamond, she’s multi-faceted.
If you find yourself lucky enough to engage her in conversation you will find her smart as a whip, and prepared to use it. If you find yourself lucky enough to have her mend your body you will feel healthy as a sunny dawn. If you find yourself lucky enough to have her whisper in your ear you will hear a throaty lioness. If you find yourself lucky enough to stare deep into her eyes – well, you might not come back, but if you do -- you will have found galaxies of wisdom, eternities of patience and nth dimensions of love.
And she owes me a pony.

Omni-faceted, love-lights beaming, twisting and weaving the cords of real. A real-life-higher and a higher-her-fate-tapestry with a lovely public face to boot. She's a blessed wing-chun reminder of so many things that hyphenated words and uplift-minded minions of light can and should be!

I have not had one word from her
Frankly I wish I were dead
When she left, she wept
a great deal; she said to me, "This parting must be
endured, Sappho. I go unwillingly."
I said, "Go, and be happy
but remember (you know
well) whom you leave shackled by love
"If you forget me, think
of our gifts to Aphrodite
and all the loveliness that we shared
"all the violet tiaras,
braided rosebuds, dill and
crocus twined around your young neck
"myrrh poured on your head
and on soft mats girls with
all that they most wished for beside them
"while no voices chanted
choruses without ours,
no woodlot bloomed in spring without song..."
--Translated by Mary Barnard <<Sappho>>
