I’ll be on the videoness this evening. You should be coming if you like fun.

And dancing.

Remember: prints and patterns.

icelandicbutterflies:

We Are All of Us Nearly Home

In the furious meadow, each
blowing leaf, a tiny calendar.
What time was it, what year.
I have loved her how long.
A green darkness traces patterns
through grass,
reciting the reasons why flowers
appear black in old movies. Over here
I see the sun has found religion.
He is up to his waist
in Floridian rye.
According to the flaking,
splotchy red of my knuckles,
we have everything to fear.
Which is why the horseflies mistake us
for beggars. And why passions multiply
in the country by four-fifths,
which I’ve finally agreed is sufficient.
For the sun here’s an epileptic.
Is someone you love
in the midst of a fit.
I’m asking you to feel deep weight.
Intolerable helplessness.
The earth is spinning the way children might
when a storm overhead
performs its invitational curtsy.
Welcome to the show.
For the stars we’ve issued arrest warrants.
The blackness between them
has been shaped into badges.
The nosy offenders surrender
like snow geese. All birds
are authentic at night. We are
all of us nearly home,
explains the beggar.
Explains the tiny calendar.
Not now.
I’m trying to describe to you the weather.

I am very excited to announce that Essie Jain will be performing at next week’s Vimeo Offline following the screening. Her set will be filmed by Natalie Johns from Dig For Fire and Ray Concepcioñ and projected live for the audience to experience a performance through the eyes of the very filmmakers they just witnesses during the screening. Should be quite the awesome.

Get your reservations.

Trucks, Trains and Trees

Trucks, Trains and Trees :

kateoplis:

No matter how many times you hear them, there are some statistics that just bowl you over. The one that always stuns me is this: Imagine if you took all the cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships in the world and added up their exhaust every year. The amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, all those cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere is actually less than the carbon emissions every year that result from the chopping down and clearing of tropical forests in places like Brazil, Indonesia and the Congo. We are now losing a tropical forest the size of New York State every year, and the carbon that releases into the atmosphere now accounts for roughly 17 percent of all global emissions contributing to climate change.

It is going to be a long time before we transform the world’s transportation fleet so it is emission-free. But right now — like tomorrow — we could eliminate 17 percent of all global emissions if we could halt the cutting and burning of tropical forests. But to do that requires putting in place a whole new system of economic development — one that makes it more profitable for the poorer, forest-rich nations to preserve and manage their trees rather than to chop them down to make furniture or plant soybeans.

Without a new system for economic development in the timber-rich tropics, you can kiss the rainforests goodbye. The old model of economic growth will devour them. The only Amazon your grandchildren will ever relate to is the one that ends in dot-com and sells books.

So yeah, we’re throwing another Vimeo Offline event.

What, you’ve never been?! We’ve had like 10 of them.

Well, you should go, they are awesome.

No no no, its free! And the videos are insane. But like the awesome kind of insanity.

Nope, you get to sit on comfortable futons and just chill and watch videos. Plus, Monkey Town has four projector screens… it’s like sitting in a movie box.

Of course it’s safe. What kind of question is that?

Yeah, you should come, it’s going to be rad.

Sure, I’ll give you a high five.

The time has come for me to sell my HVX200. She has been very good to me but I just don’t use her enough. If you think you want her, she is in great condition and has very few hours of use. It’s a deal.

Here is the craigslist ad for her with the other goodies I’m selling with it.
