Esthetic Evolution 3
In the vein of Burning Man, EE3 is a 3-day camping art festival in the heart of Idaho featuring performances by artists from Boise, Seattle, Portland, LA, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Pheonix and more. The producers of this event, People of Earth and pr0cess are striving to bring the culture of art on a more open and expression-based canvas to Idaho. As a part of your participation we hope that everyone will come to share whatever artistic abilities they have with other Esthetic goers. The definition of Art here does not pertain to anything specific. It can include many things, but is not limited to; theme camps, costumes, theatre performance, fire exhibition, juggling, dancing, stilt-walking, free-standing art structures, body modification, games, multi-medium sculpture, painting, or any other form of self-expression that you can put your mind to. All are welcome so please come and share your talents.
Performers from Seattle include KJ Sawka, Adlib (People of Earth), Cory Ley, Recess (Shameless), Menami (Shameless), Jen Woolfe (Leschi Lounge) & Kids for Tomorrow. Check out the Lineup here!
The location is well worth the drive as it is hosted at the scenic and spacious Twin Springs Resort. The drive takes you through Idaho's beautiful and historic national forest past Arrowrock Dam and beyond the reservoir which it contains. Click here for more directions and more info.
The Festival will be be mainly located in the meadow just past the main resort. There will be plenty of camping space within the meadow allowing easy access to the many presentations being offered. In addition, a location has been secured at the river where participants will be able to find respite from the heat of the day and enjoy additional performances of music right on the banks of the North Fork of the Boise River.
Tickets can be purchased from the web through PayPal or at the Gate. More info.

Manifest Our Destiny
I read this quote in the Real Change newspaper that I got from the guy outside Trader Joe's today.
The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.
- John Schaar
I also learned about a local funeral co-op, the Urban Indian Health Program that Bush tried to cut last year (but was approved by the House instead with $1 million more than the proposed cuts), that the UW recently signed on to a program called the Designated Suppliers Program that will make UW apparel sweatshop free (currently the clothes are made in 8,000 different Latin American factories) and a girl named Jessica who, after graduating from foster care to become an adult, is fighting to find her way in the world.
It only took about 20 minutes to read through. It was worth the $1.

Where is Jen?
Back at the beginning of May, I went down to Portland to play at Ohm. For the rest of the weekend, I hung out with my Portland brothers and chilled. Infinikid was showing me his studio setup and Ableton, a software that is used to compose music. I mentioned to him that I had the money allocated to get a Midi Controller so I could start learning this, but I had been so busy DJing that I hadn't bought one yet. He said, 'How about now?'. Without wasting another minute, we hopped in his VW Bus and rode to the Music Store. As soon as I had mine purchased and in my hands, I felt the paradigm shift. To the Right.
Even further back, at the end of January, I had received a phone call from Nathaniel, a booker at Rebar. He offered me a monthly there, every first Thursday. They wanted it to be a queer night. I took it on. I found a hook. We danced. The first night was a smashing success. But over the course of a few months, the air balloon that I had launched slowly lost its steam. The third month, it crashed.
I'm learning many lessons.
Things went smoothly for me for a while, even soared. But now I am starting new. Within both projects. Within myself. Within the world around me. A new phase, new difficulties. Doors I thought were sturdy close behind my back. The handles break off as I turn them. Rust coats my fingers. I smear the amber dust over my face, my body, fighting the feelings of failure that try to take me. Anger, frustration. I kick the door. The wood splits, flimsy. I bleed. Into me.
Why not jump ship? Abandon the Labyrinthe that has been testing me. There are two long levels of them, after all, stacked one on top the other. Two places of worship I know nothing about. Expectation. Of myself. Its unfair to make a perfectionist so easily bored. Unethical to force an egoist be heedful to listen.
Why not just let go of my dreams and live on my life in a warm pool of memory and mediocrity?
I question my stance. Do I belong here? Are the floors falling out from under me because I am off my path? Or are the tall hedges and iron gates part of my building blocks to a new me, one that is more equipped with the Tools I need to propel me forward to unknown lands? How do I give up that which I'm so used to giving, which works so well, for Tools that, when held, I can barely recognize even my own hands? Seems I can't spring forward without first building the spring. And before that, where to buy coil.
The horizon I can see is beyond what is real. Its image, even, beyond imaginary.
But it is not beyond me.
