Quick, quick – some tasty tidbits for you & you & you!
I’ve been a bit under the weather still, and all I want
to do is sleep and listen to this over and over:

Just a tease of photos from the last Gadjo Disko, from my friend
Chip Warren. I was so excited that he brought his camera, and
documented some of the magic of the night! More will be forth-
coming, but I’m having some technical difficulties and frantically
trying to get ready to hit the road for Mardi Gras! I can’t [...]
Hey y’all – I wanted to share this information from my friend Jay
about our endeavor to bring a bevy Of New Orleans Bounce artists
to Austin for SXSW. Please help us make it happen!
There’s a link to the Kickstarter page in his letter below-
it would mean so much to a lot of amazing people if
you could [...]

Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year,
and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the
other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean,
doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if we
ought to be living in some science fiction reality?
Where’s my flying car? I still don’t have a jet-pack,
either! [...]

Happy Winter Solstice, beloveds!
It’s not especially chilly here yet, though
it has gotten a little frost-spangled some nights,
the tease of recent snowfall amounted to only
a meagre flurry. That being said, I’m grateful to
know that the days will be longer from here on out.
The thin silver scythe in the sky and all blackened
wraiths in our garden caution [...]

Turkeys are such strange birds. Ugly-beautiful,
and regal-ridiculous. Have you ever seen one flying wild?
It’s like a giant feathered cannonball shot through the woods.
Hilarious and shocking. We saw wild turkeys in Osyka Springs,
Mississippi when we used to go camping there. They are huge!
I feel bad about it, but I’m going to eat one today. [...]

Our Halloween began at twilight, as the last meager trickle of trickertreaters
drifted off, leaving us well stocked with gummi body parts + mini almond joys
for life. Or at least a little while, knowing the sweet-tooth of certain fellas in these
parts! We headed down to The Eastside Showroom to partake in their special
Death Warmed Over Menu, [...]

“Gypsy Interiors is a series of portraits capturing the private world of these outwardly loud,
vivacious people. Here he finds a rich and profound intimacy, hidden but exhibited among
antique furniture, tapestries, paintings, religious images, china, staircases and mirrors,
set into large rooms or sometimes minimized in empty spaces waiting to be filled.
Images of women sitting on elegant [...]

Fever dreams, strange passages, sleeping all day.
Oh, I’ve been so ill! Again, a nasty bug has knocked me down-
an unfortunate casualty of my poor candle, burnt at both ends.
I’ve been flattened like a pancake under the steamroller of a
particularly pernicious strain of influenza. Bother!
I won’t go into the gory details, only that the only [...]
One of the many things I appreciate about Texas weather is
the constant mercurial shifting between extremes. Honestly!
I am, in so many ways, a creature of habit. I can easily get bogged
down in work and routines, so perhaps that has something to do
with my insatiable craving for variety. I require a steady flow of information,
new music, [...]
