    My friend Chet O'Keefe is in town for a couple weeks and I've gotten to enjoy what will be three shows of his as of tomorrow, before he leaves again to head back up north. The two shows so far have been wildly different and each fantastic, and I'm sure tomorrow's will be just as satisfying. Good music is good. Good live music is even better.

    When I get overwhelming dream shit, so as not to fall back into the shit, I rotate on my bed, head to foot or sideways...found it out as a kid. I won't fall back in by rotating my physical position. Resets my dream mind.

    I love that she mentions "Sophie's World" as her introduction to philosophy. That was also my introduction at a similar age. Thank you for sharing this, it resonated with me in many ways.

    Paris Hilton is a fucking hero. I never thought I would think that, but what she has done to give public platform to the voices of us survivors is incredible. I'm very grateful for all she has done.

    Yeah, I have a hard copy finally coming in the mail sometime in September. Joe nobody is a true inspiration. Because of his work, I'm currently working on a concept album about the facility I was at. My band has gratefully been very supportive of this next endeavor.

    The for profit facility that I was locked up in as a young teenager is still open to this day. Albeit another company owns it and it goes under a different name, they run essentially the same program. On average 100 thousand children are annually kept imprisoned in the troubled teen industry in full, the facility I was kept at being only one among many.

    I'm starting an archive project of long form interviews with locals in my area. Do any of y'all have advice on what might be the best handheld voice recorder that's high quality sound but small and discrete so my interviewees can forget that they're being recorded?

    One of my favorite comedy shows is "better things." I think I really walks that line of the humor of being human and honest introspection.

    I know its not actually recently, but this prompt reminded me of the useless thing I spent three days learning during the pandemic. Because of those three very focused and largely frustrating days I can now tie a monkey paw knot. Which there is never any call for. But I know how to do it!

    I just had my birthday, and it was a HUGE bash! I did the same thing I did last year and booked 7hrs of music at our town bar (we only have one), and booked all my musician friends. 3 hours of a variety show consisting of 20min sets. An hour of my band, and then three hours of a full band.

    I dressed up WILD, had a friend design my outfit. And the whole town brought potluck. It was AWESOME. Had to be over 200 people in and out all day and night, most of whom I know. Partied and drank and danced and made music.

    Weather was perfection. Not too hot for May (may is one of the hottest months in the desert), and it even rained a bit, which is always celebrated and considered very good luck. After the bar closed, we all went to the porch and jammed some more.

    Next year I'll do the same, but I think I'll add a pre party brunch/lunch at my buddies place who has a private venue up the hill before we go full on show at the bar again. I've turned my bday into a mini local festival and I couldn't be happier with the result!
