Go greyhound... and toddlers...
Next time.... fly.
Really, what a terrible way to travel with a kid. But it's so expensive to fly. People are just so intolerant of small children. Yeah i get that they had to pay for their ticket, i had to pay for two, and the child discount isn't that much. Besides, is not my fault the seats are so dern close together! Really if someone feels the need to complain about kids riding the greyhound they shouldn't be riding greyhound at all. There is always SOMETHING with them. Someone has an annoying kid, someone smells up the bus, people cannot seem to keep their music volume down... whatever it is... it's greyhound people, not first class on some fancy airlines. G r e y h o u n d. Still, next time, we drive or fly, and not because buggy was difficult, she wasn't really, just has a hard time sleeping in a car seat for long periods of time, wouldn't you? We all want to stretch our legs after all. In any case we got here, we're in long beach now and we don't have to go back yet...Well that's all then i suppose. Til next time. ~Jmnstr.

\./.\./.\./.\./ I'm still alive \./.\./.\./.\./
lots of life has occured in the several months since my last blog, of course in my life at least, with a few months time comes plenty of change. that is after all, why i even chose to start blogging in the first place. i get that most people have a particular blog, how-to's, art, fundraising etc.. some people just post things they've found on other websites. I'd hate to be so formal, i couldn't be so consistant in my posts, even if i had several blogs for several subject.. why try anyways? it's just a public journal!
well, i'm getting seriously off subject here. i wanted to disclose a few things that have happened since, well december i guess... First off we've moved ship, not that we moved far but it's a different house even if it is just a few blocks away... okay, really i'd say it's more like 7 or 8 blocks away than just a few, with the move came many unforseen problems, but that comes with just about any move doesn't it?
the first day of the actual move in, i had the opportunity to take my first and only visit to Arcosanti which was a bit interesting for sure. i went with a couple of friends/co-workers from the artist collective/vegan cafe/events venue that i uh... co-run (more on that soon enough) i was fairly dark weather for Arizona that day, phoenix was dark and cloudy and Arcosanti was all that and cold too. the group we went with was a class from asu that was studying what i guess was environmentally friendly business models and lifestyles, or somesuch, though i wasn't paying too much attention to what they were checking out. we stopped at a small produce co-op on the way, that i did pay attention to, since we are now, at this new house, starting a produce co-op of our own (i'm not a hippie).
On to Arcosanti itself though... the entire project is funded by bells? really? BELLS?! well, and donations i suppose, whatever though, the bells we're a little much and i don't just mean the cost (Interesting fact: in Arcosanti you can pay like $599.00 for some small cast iron garden bells) it almost seemed as though the place was a cult of sorts, the cult of the Arcosanti bell worshipers. i'm not trying to sound harsh about this, i'm just saying... no one is going to take the bait. besides... with the architecture pablo soleri mapped out for the place (Interesting fact: pablo soleri's mentor was frank lloyd wright...) it's perfect for holding some crazy-awesome fundraising parties. the architecture itself is quite amazing, although i don't much care to know every last detail as to how the concrete was poured, the fact that it is laid out for passive heating and cooling throughout the year, including the use of greenhouses, and all while reducing urban sprawl is super fantastic. It did, in fact, inspire me to plant sunflowers around my yard in ways that will create good shade and a balancing aesthetic (nevermind, it's complicated) for my house and my various vegetable plants.
so, during a conversation after a delicious arcosanti dinner (them bellmakers can cook i'll tell you whut!) and over a bottle of wine with one of Pablo Soleri's long time followers, a little older lady with grey hair and unplucked eyebrows, my friend Phil so eloquently inquires "so like, in the 70's or whatever did you guys used to have orgies here or what?" and there's that, at this point we're obviously not THAT close with the university group... although she didn't reply i think we all heard the unspoken "hell yeah! those were the days..." and as i recall anyway we eventually stopped hassling the little old lady with the bushy eyebrows to go out to the "smokers lounge" (two benches and an ash tray in the parking lot) for a treat. here is where we ran in to the youngun's of the current resident posse, morgan and brEndon (i only remember since we also kept our own morgan/brAndon couple back in phoenix at the time, i love synchronicity...) we smoked our respective plant items and shared what our social circles were like.
P: "so, does pablo cosanti..."
M: "Pablo Soleri you mean?"
P: "...yeah, does he sleep with the girls he draws?"(interesting fact: 95 year old Pablo soleri does life drawing)
M: "well its kind of sweet really, he asks if he can kiss/lick their nipples, and if they say yes then they get to sleep with him"
B: <<Coughs>> "yeah it's cool though really"
M: "I mean he's like this 90 year old man, it's actually very sweet."
i think i may have tagged this as the wrong form of cult... make that Arcosanti's cult of bells and nipple licking.
anywho, while the whole bells thing and the nipple licking stories (which may have been a fabrication i realize) kind of creep me out i'll probably go back there some day. but as far as this post goes, i'm out of the patience it takes to continue... so see you next post, same untime, same unchannel... unn unnnnn unununnnn
