hide & seek - imogen heap <-- this song is beautiful, enjoy normdate 29.10.6
i'm sitting in my office, the tan sectional sofa at kristin's calgarian suburb home...my home since i landed here in the cspot three months ago. imogen heap's hide and seek is competing with desperate housewives for the complete attention of my ears.
using your ears is not the only way for you to hear.
i'm about a month behind on my blog, so i'm going to do the quick catch up in one single blog entry, or at least as much as i can get done before i fall asleep. prepare yourself for a lot of pikchaz and if you've got the time a lot of reading.

i participated in the allies for autism walk in calgary.
kristin's younger brothers, liam and mikhail, are both autistic. mikhail joined kristin, crystal, and i for the walk.
mikhail and liam have been experienced successful results of lovaas therapy, an intense behavioural intervention technique for autistic children. immediate, intense therapy as soon as they are diagnosed is the only hope that children with autism have for any sort of life.
living with autism - a powerful movie from the autism speaks website
just say know
there was a jumping castle
mikhail loved the castle. come to think of it, who doesn't love jumping up and down and laughing?
i traded a jamaican man my number for his...sweet.
a little pre-walk stretching
don't mess!
freed the west...feed the rest.
big ups to dj soo
autism is on the rise. just say know.
its a good thing i'm a pikcha takin whore, or else i'd have a hard time remembering what i did in the past month.

i love the fall, so it isn't surprising that the autumn colours are vibrant here in calgary.
there are quite a few beautiful parks here to take kuma on super fantastic walks.
i love fall.
kristin's playa honey from burning man flew into town from denver to see her. he brought a couple cds of burned pikchaz with him of his burning man experience. like kristin (aka kale), this was jeremy's first burn.

so many relationships begin at burning man, and overflow into the world off playa. this was jeremy's first time in canada. we were about to show him a good ol canadian night out.
our destination was a bar called the den at the university of calgary. the band performing was called the shout out out out outs.
the band that opened for them was called holy fuck! they describe their music as nothing you've ever heard before. czech out their myspace page here.
their music really was nothing like i'd heard before. a live rock band, a dj, and some unusual instruments like a little piano keyboard that you blow through to make a sound. it was actually a really good show.
the shout out out outs were even better. i'd try to describe their sound, but it was also unique ass shakin goodness. there are beat on their myspace page, so you can listen to their sound here.
the crowd was fun, and it felt nostalgic to be back in a university bar environment again.
fyi: never agree to have your driver's license scanned by a bar before entering. you are not required by law to have your id scanned, so never give them permission to do it.

i had brunch with my friend tyson at a local greasy spoon.
tyson's cat had kittens. daam little pussy cats are cute.
after brunch we picked up tyson's brother arlen and spent the afternoon at big hill park just on the outskirts of calgary. its beautiful here in calgary, if you know where to go...not to mention the rockies in the distance screaming out to you.
tyson and arlen run an event planning company called events first. we spent some time talking about their goals, and the possibility of me bringing my skills to the table to help them meet their goals. i love meetings in the great outdoors.
pussy escape
i once bought a bottle of wine that came in a bottle shaped like a pussy cat, a red pussy cat. i brought it to a friend's place to drink. it tasted like someone had literally pissed in the bottle and corked it. naaaasty! so my friend john, blazing fag, said "well, you can really only expect so much from a pussy".;)

tyson and arlen brought in dj tipper to play the wharehouse.
kristin and i began our evening at francisco's (frankie_dubbs) place, not too far from the wharehouse.
thanks for openin up your place to me cisco. i look forward to the day you and i go surfing together.
the warehouse was packed and the beats were a fusion of breakbeatz and broken beat. kristin wasn't really enjoying herself that much, and decided to end her evening a bit early. i stayed and grooved to some funky beatz with funky peeps.
the batteries on my camera died at francisco's place, so no pikchaz from the tipper show :(
when the show was over, i was walking to catch the c-train home with a goddess named mattea when a mini van drove up. a dude named sunshine, that i had met at the wharehouse earlier in the evening, was driving. a little raver pixie named riley was sittin shotgun. sunshine invited us to an afterparty. still in the mood to party, mattea and i jumped in.
we stopped at the wharehouse to pick up some more people, and then drove to some dude's house in an area called ogden. his place was being redecorated, so the floor was pulled up and covered in plywood. excellent for an after party...can't really break anything if there isn't anything to break.
within an hour, the place was full of about 25 people. they had set up decks and were blaring some kind of electronic music. i don't know how to describe it...actually, yes i do. it sucked. i don't even know if it followed a constant rhythm. the dj obviously thought he was rockin it, cause he sure looked into it. there weren't that many people dancing, so i guess people weren't into it either.
perhaps i should be careful about what i say when it comes to djs that disappoint me. at shambhala, dj vinyl ritchie completely disappointed me with his unique brand of crapmo dj'ing.
turns out vinyl ritchie got word that i didn't like his set and that i posted it on my blog, a public space. so the dude decided to visit my messageboard and started a thread to attack me. guess he didn't like me sayin his set sucked monkey balls, and wanted to express his discontent.
don't flatter yerself.........we haven't met before.
that's why i called yer ass out!!! cause ya don know!!!
you peddle ''peace respect n' love'' and then call me out for suckin' in a public forum.
unless you diss people in yer bullshit blogs( bout yer conceited frontin ass) on the reg...........you should know who i am.
you preach love......but you breed hate.......
vinyl ritchie has never met me, got pissed that said i didn't like his set on my personal blog, and then sought me out to attack me. LAME! there was even a thread about him and his set on the shambhala messageboard. seems like a couple other people didn't like his set either. he even had himself introduced as paul oakenfold when he played at shambhala. i chose not to share my opinion about his set in that forum cause slaggin people on public forums ain't my steez...but i'll sure say whatever here in my blog, and on our community forum.
what vinyl ritchie did was fukkin high school antics, and it took a dialogue of a few private messages between us before he realized how silly all of this was. some people like his style, i don't. such is life. focus your attention on your fans vinyl ritchie, they deserve your time more than i do. you can't please everyone., so no need to get your panties in a knot because someone didn't like your set.
back to the shitty dj'ing at this afterparty. well, by the time morning came i had just about enough, so mattea and i left and took the bus to the ctrain. holy shit ogden is fukkin ghetto.
have fun in japan mattea.
alright, my ass hurts and i'm tired...and the movie ginger snaps just finished playing on city tv. it was actually not as bad as i thought.
and katherine isabelle looked fukkin hawt as a goth. maybe not as hawt as a werewolf though ;)
as much as the thought of staying up and watching spaceballs sounds appealling, i'm going to bed.
