Oy vey.. So much crap to get done.. but so little time to do it in. I'm pretty committed to working a lot less, but I'm finding myself stirring with boredom if I'm not slaving to get things done that I want/need to do.
I've been looking for this check for the past few days. I'm such a dumbass for misplacing a $450 check.. what the hell is wrong with me? I'm sure it's in a book of mine somewhere. I should know better than to leave loose ends untied before I leave...thats why I have a pegboard with pushpins. Worse comes to worse I'll have the check re-issued.. what a dumbass I am.
Tonight was pretty uneventful. I basically boiled some tea to make Kombucha. I was a bit of a kombucha obsessive toward the end of the summer. I had several glass jars brewing all at the same time, which was of course way more than I could deal with. When we returned from the west coast, all of the zogleal mats were overgrown. Time to start anew I guess. I'll probably put some of the kombuchas up on freecycle..
Tonight, I also talked to my friend Dave Rosenstraus about buying a van from him. He runs a shop in Pittsburgh with his friends called Fossil Free Fuel. Liz and I via our project, the Evil Twin Booking Agency, do some booking of his workshop, called Veg The System. Basically, I'm getting this diesel powered airport shuttle from him for a company I work with which is converted to run on vegetable grease. I'm really hoping that the kids in Paperrad are going to want to do the decorations for it. I'd like to have it all done in time for Expo East, the big East Coast convention for the natural products industry. I'm hoping to pick up a bunch of new clients there for The Redefinery, which is my grassroots/ DIY marketing project I've been doing for a bit.
Earlier Liz and I were discussing how we should bring a mess of Evil Twin Booking flyers to the Naomi Klein speaking event in NYC tomorrow. We also discussed changing and updating the logo, graphics, and general aesthetic of our project. We're leaning somewhere in the direction of mixing west philly grit, victorian gothic, found objects, and latin/african symbolism. We shall see how it all turns out.
I'm pretty happy that Liz has gotten me some good gigs for Lost Film Fest coming up as well. It was a bit slow last year because I was working on so many other projects, so I'll be pretty relieved to be back out on the road performing. I have some strong new short films, but I'm really looking for something revolutionary and mindblowing. Plans for the fall include trips around the east coast, midwest, south, (maybe California) and Europe.. It'll be strange to be back out on the road. I have to put myself back into the proper mindset.
One new project I've been particularly excited about is this narrative screenplay I've been writing. It's a mathematical musical mystery complete with gypsies and scallawags of all sorts. Arrow-One and Dugan, friends of mine from the SF Bay Area (who run this project called Avant Renegade) will be helping me. Lets see what happens with this one.... I usually follow through on the things I do, or give up and shelve things if I can't put all the pieces together, but I think that this one might actually go somewhere.
I was working for awhile with my friend Peter Sallade on a documentary about international dvd bootleg rings, but it's kind of been sidetracked for a bit. I'm eager to get Dan Ollman on board with this one, but there's only so much time in a day.
So, it's a funny thing.. what do you get for someone who has everything they want/need? Well.. In my parents case I was going to get them a gps unit for their 40th anniversary, but my dad beat me to the punch. I think I'm going to get them a g4 laptop. They're not such tech geeks, but I believe that they'll actually enjoy using a mac.
Okay, enough rambling. I'm going to eventually post some of our pics from Burning Man (which was indeed the best year Liz and I have gone).
