My sister and her motley band of misfits are putting up a show in their performance warehouse in downtown LA this weekend, next, and the following. Check out the website for more info and to marvel at their collective awesomeness.
blissful days off
I’m on vacation in Los Angeles until Sunday. I’m visiting my sister and exploring the city (since I seriously missed out when I lived here 6 years ago) and taking class a little. Meeting old friends and making new ones. I wish I had just a few more days! I’m grateful for the few that I have; I have a lot of personal work to focus on and it’s lovely not to have my regular distractions and fatigue.

“A wise man once told me to observe people that I thought were really smart. He then said, “The ones who don’t feel a need to put anyone down are the ones who are most secure in their own ability. They don’t feel they have to prove anything.” It’s true.”

Babel Tales
Bizzare images by Dutch artist Peter Funch created by splicing together shots of individual pedestrians sharing similar characteristics. Beautifully imaginative and also a bit creepy.
