DMLH and his nightshift


I just got back home, after a great night bike ride from 134, a communal living situation some of my readers may know a little something about. For those of you who aren't aware, 134 is a collective of artists and musicians living and working in SE Portland. My dear old friend DMLH is currently residing there (A guest is his own home really, since he was one of the people who founded this house.) He is still a glow, having returned home to PDX from his first trip to Burning Man this year just last week. Over noodles and tea we discussed life, love, and art. His mind has been expanded once more and he is already brainstorming new ways for people to get together, create beautiful works, and to celebrate this thing we call life. If DMLH is someone you have been following, then you already know he has been throwing a party once a month at the Rotture/Branx space in SE Portland, called NIGHTSHIFT, but if this is a new concept to you, you should go see for yourself tomorrow night (Wednesday September 21st). Let's all go together and check out how DMLH sees the world and where we can fit in it. I know there's a place for everyone. It's actually happening!

Backyard Monday

It's been so long since I posted last. I was reminded of that when I spoke with a few great old friends the other night. It was such a pleasure to remember that there are people out there in the world who love me and care about what I have to say. I wanted to take this time to catch all you readers up.
I am currently sitting in the backyard, post a wonderful barbecue that occurred here just yesterday. The ambiance is unbelievable, stationed in the afternoon sun; I fear there are not so many warm days like this left this year, so I am trying to take advantage of this one.
The barbecue yesterday was to celebrate the changing of the seasons and I think everyone who attended did it right. I love that we continue to be ever-changing beings growing closer and closer together with the passing of time.
I feel since I haven't shared any images from the last few months with my readers, and I know you all are curious about what I have been doing and creating, that I should: without further adieu I would like to introduce to you: The Summer of Love. Much love to all of you who have enriched and blessed my life throughout the years. I hope you all had as incredible summers as I did, you all deserved it.
