[return transmission]
The crew returns from Philly, having had a very kick-ass time, thanks to the company of Nurse_Mengele (with the spikey one in tow), as always, who RAWxx0rED the fuckin decks, as expected and King_of_Skulls, whose presence always makes for a wonderful time. Also met up with people we haven't seen in a while -- it was good to hang out. Also met a bunch of very very cool new people, including DJ Octopussy (Octavio), DJ Pussy Galore, and a bunch of others ... the dj's / staff AND the patrons were gracious hosts and very cool people to hang out with. All around enjoyable evening. Very laid back scene down there. Breath of fresh air, really.
The only disconcerning part was the actual building itself. It was *really* fucking cool, dont get me wrong .... the space was not only prime, but SO well decorated and laid out ... we were told it was a former brothel ... how cool is THAT?! Hehe.
Yeah, here comes the 'but' -- I dunno how many of you people out there are spiritually attuned, but ... there was some real creepy baggage with that building goin on that I just couldn't shake ... only with the upstairs, specifically (which was really fine until Aeryn's last set, since the upstairs was for the 18+ crowd anyway) ... but, I got so so sad almost immediately after I walked up there ... and I couldnt ignore it. I got this electric shock feeling when I touched the walls .... when I looked into some of the side rooms, I just got this vibe of stale, unjustified, angry, tortured death .... I guess its harder to articulate than I had anticipated but .... man, it was like all-encompassing, for lack of a better description.
So Aeryn, if yer wondering why I wasnt dancing like a maniac as I normally do, thats why. It had nothing to do with anything other than that. I SOSOSOSO wanted to dance too, thats what really got me .... but I couldnt bring myself to .... gawd, what an emotionally and spiritually draining experience.
Other than that fact, I had a fucking BLAST! Oh, and I still feel like a shit for selling out and falling asleep on the car ride home. I totally owe you for that one -- if I have to teach MYSELF how to drive stick I will ... LOL
Pictures of the drunken, road trip madness are soon to come Im sure. I wonder if youll be able to tell when the booze hit in these too .... hehe.
Lots of randomness .... and d00d! Theres totally something to be said for a guy wearing a "Carpet Boy" tshirt, laying in front of a section of the bar all night for people specifically to step on him .... yeah, that took some getting used to. I dunno, I guess that's all I have to say about that, cuz .... to each his own and all, but ... some people get off on the most RANDOMLY WEIRD things .... !!
*poof* Back to reality today, for me. This weekend was the best Ive had in a long long long long time, but I have so many things to figure out responsibility-wise. There are so many things that have gotten better for me in the very recent past, but there's so much more to straighten out .... funny, that .....
Hope everyone else is well ....
Much Love

I'm really happy you had a good time. Make sure you get a gig there, dammit!!!!!!
i really enjoyed speaking with you and am sending you my love. i know exactly what you mean about imprinted psychic energy in your surroundings. i see shit all the time. sometimes very painful but having that ability also allows you to see beauty that is beyond the beyond. things that are so beautiful, that after you experience it, nothing of this world can ever come close to really fulfilling you again.
