Notes from underground: Warmth for Valentine’s Day

So tonight, and the rest of the weekend, I’ll be choosing desire over fear, trusting my intuition, trying not to analyze things too much, falling through the limitations of intelligence into pure and simple creativity, and bringing inner ecstasy back into my consciousness.  And hopefully that’ll set the rhythm up for the entire year — and decade.

Good advice indeed, if I do say so myself!  Six weeks later, looking forward to Psybertribe’s Warmth (and Dutch!!!!!) and then a dinner tomorrow with Deborah at Delfina, it’s a good time to take stock.  How am I doing so far on my new year’s resolution to have more art, beauty, and fun in my life?

Not bad at all.   And the trend is definitely positive 🙂

So my appreciation to the goddesses and muses I am so lucky to know.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for the art, beauty,and fun you bring to my life.  I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and your year is off to as good a start as mine is.

And to the anomaly I worship … will you be my Valentine?

    The space was beautiful and warm, filled with happy people, including a lot of friends old and new. Dutch was just coming on and we were about to go outside for a quick break when we realized there were cops out front. “Unlicensed venue,” or something like that.

    Party busted.

    Turns out “the man” can stop the music, at least temporarily.

    After the Bordello and the Gingerbread House’s permitting problems, seems like “the man”‘s stopping a lot of music lately. I wonder whether it’s targeted at the psytrance community or part of a broader crackdown on afterhours clubs. In any case it’s not a good thing. With the economy and state budget the way it is, you’d think the city would welcome private enterprise that creates jobs and gives people fairly cheap distraction. Apparently “the man” disagrees.

    Sigh. It could have been incredible, up with the best nights at <<>> …

    Oh well. Looks like the universe wanted me to have a more reflective weekend.

    Taking stock so far: despite the disappointing turn of events at Warmth, the last few days have had plenty art, beauty, seduction, and ecstatic consciousness. And there’s more to come: dinner at Delfina tonight, dancing in Portland next weekend, wig shopping (ooh!) and a makeover, HOTWired, a friend’s 40th birthday, Kinetic 4 at Pacific Science Center in April … no way “the man” can shut all of those down 🙂

    Minor glitches aside, the Terrific Teens are off to a good start!
