Today I found a gathering (more of a family reunion) at North Shore Park  that captured what I was hoping to do on a regular basis.  The sound system was sitting behind the grove of bushes/trees and is only barely seen peeking out from behind.   There is a beach right there and volleyball courts.  

I’ve been looking over the city permits and think that the city will even provide electricity if I pay the permit fee..   but it looks like $30/event… renegade event with a genny may be a better idea in the beginning.

Stay tuned

I’ll be hard at work and will list the completed ones here – but if let me know if you would something custom and I’ll get right on it!

I learned about kaZantip from an email list, someone had posted a video from a year or two ago.  It looks like a fun time… and one of those adventures that you simply have to do rather than try and learn too much about beforehand.   The only difficulty I foresee is getting the appropriate visa to travel to Ukraine.. that and the money to travel.   

kaZantip began around 1992 as a surfer party that grew to what is billed as the largest electronic music event in the world.  DJ’s come from all over and no specific lineup is created.  Rumor is that DJ’s can play as long as they keep the crowd vibe, lose that conenction with the crowd an  you are asked to step back from the decks, regardless of your “World ranking”.   That is my idea of how a party should be run.  kaZantip is “set-up” as it were its own citystate.  with constitution, preZident, and viZas (tickets), but is open only during the months of July and August.  Costumes and party dress are prevalent in the photos, as are yellow suitcases and polka dotted garments.  It does not seem as participatory as Burning Man but the lengths of stays possible should compare for development of a temporary community.

I like the sound of the event and would like to go sometime in the next few years.   Time to put more away into the travel budget….

It was the first time HW was in its new location at 2nd and Howard in the FiDi district of San Francisco.

It was a great time and left me with wonderful memories.  I have yet to find anything that compares to that day in the sun when I was able to hang out with Miss Tickle, Kelly, Samira, Taylor, Mateo, Carnen, Steve, Ginny, Leila, Laylo, Thea, Eddie, Sue, Matthew, Mercie, and so many many others.  It was the warm fuzzy mental hug that I needed.  

I hope you all have an amazing time on Howard Street this year.  I miss you!

It was the second time I ran into a number of the people who were at the Field Day gathering earlier in the year. I had a good time hanging out with (not a comprehensive list) Hickory and Taylor and meeting DJ Amber, Jette and Eric and Family. (More about them later) Also really enjoyed a set by Timmmi on Saturday afternoon.

I walked through kiwi vines, tried to appropriate PyroKitten’s red sunglasses, found out (to the delight of all onlookers) that the storage pond has a stepped sloped slippery bottom. I also learned that the acrylic ball I use for contact juggling has a focal length equal to its diameter. Meaning that if you set it on something flammable while exposed to the sun you’ll set fire to whatever the ball is sitting upon. That blue blanket ended up with several burn marks.

Having return a week earlier from Burning Man this was the perfect relaxation and recuperation for being a week in a dusty desert.

Who is your favorite DJ and what do you think about their name?  

If you are a DJ how did you come up with your name? Was it given by another, come out of a moment’s inspiration, or describe part of yourself?

Part of this year’s goal of Production is for me to play and produce music.  For that I’d like to use something other than my parental given name. 

Maybe I can tie this into my rediscovery myself as a Reverend.  

The DNA lounge was a great venue for this show. Kurt was flamboyant in his dual pigtails and overalls.  If you get the chance to see them when Kurt is performing, do not pass up the chance!

I enjoy music with a slight melancholy overtone and for me G&D really hit that sweet spot, with the added bonus that I find it hard to stop dancing.
