Greetings! My name is Eli, some of you might vaguely remember some noise concerts happening at the Paul Sweet house a few years ago: that was me. I take children's toys and guitar pedals and short circuit them to make new sounds. I run the recording studio at my college (UC San Diego, http://scw.ucsd.edu/) our station is ksdt. I write some of the most twisted death metal you've ever heard. Me and smurph live in a warehouse/ artspace is san diego and we would love it if some of you wonderful creative people came down and did your thing at our location.

Here is a show from all recent like

2010-09-09T16:52:00.000-07:00

I live downtown in San Diego, I have a mechanical typewriter, some paint and a garden... I ride a bicycle and eat quinoa and kale all day, no nightshades.... I am waiting right now for the man to come back from the United States Postal Service with my OIL PRESS so I can protinue making nice things... Like spritzers and soap...

How does anything die? I don't suppose the massive can die, only world bridge like the mayan's say...

How are you Millz, are you well? Burning Man was disgraceful this year, maybe like any other.. All the energy spent on things that don't last, but what lasts? Rome? Towers of Babel fall... I think I'll keep making sand mandalas and blowing them away as long as I can.

Proplacing words is fun, I don't like the con prefix, proversations proclusions... et cetera...

I know your woman makes jewelry and you print cut and paste amongst your other finer modes of expression.. How is that going? Why doesn't she post her creations on the Massive, either?

Soon this space will be finished, polished and insured, then we can have classes and get togethers, we can make paper worth printing on, and maybe someone will benefit from that.

San Diego is nothing like I would have expected after meeting you, but then again, you make a lot more sense now, not enough-- but a lot more than before...

I love you superstar, the massive is too dapper to let go of this easy, keep killin' it.

how dead is the massive?

The world's only immortal animal

2010-03-19T17:43:00.000-07:00

Turritopsis nutricula Jellyfish
(Photo: Peter Schuchert)

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.

Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).

The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.

Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters. "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

Opportunity for an Artist in Residence (Sierra Foothills)

Date: 2010-02-03, 7:31AM PST
Reply to: gigs-yqd9c-1583895788@craigslist.org ^{[Errors when replying to ads?]}

Welcome to the ArtRanch where the accommodations are rustic, the food is healthful & good and the rural environment stimulating with plenty of contemplative and creative time and space. Generally speaking, in addition to an artist or two, the ranch is shared by a few interns working in the garden, the woodlands and otherwise on the ranch where we keep goats, sheep and poultry in addition to the organic gardens. Residents are asked to join in to accomplish communal chores around the Ranch for about three hours each day but otherwise your time is your own to create what and as you wish. We maintain a shared studio that can easily accommodate large works and 3 or 4 working artists. A rudimentary gallery for exhibition of completed work adjoins the studio and we enjoy assisting our residents with placements and shows in commercial galleries. All residents are provided a private travel-trailer for sleeping and storage of personal items and materials, but meals and other facilities are communal. We unable to offer a stipend at this time but we do provide most all of your meals and a comfortably rustic living space. Your commitment, beyond a bit of time assisting with the upkeep of our communal environment is to leave an artistic legacy at the ranch, intended to influence and instruct all of those who follow your footsteps here.

We are likely to favor artists who are working on the edge; outsiders, urbanists, large format mixed media and environmental creators, edgy sculptors especially. We maintain a permanent gallery here of Urban and Graffiti art as well as a large collection of Indigenous Tribal Art and Contemporary Canvasses as well. There is plenty of indigenous serpentine/soapstone and at least one resident has had considerable success in stone carving

Inquire by email, This opening is at the ArtRanch at Safan and is available now, either part-time or full-time for the Winter and Spring of 2010. Applications are encouraged from any artist who is interested to come out and create in this isolated rural environment.

Your application may follow an initial email or telephone conversation but ought to include multiple references, your personal details in addition to your CV or resume, links to your website or other sites exhibiting your work and a description of how you would like to utilize your residency, what you expect to create here and the legacy that you plan to leave with Safan.

2010-01-28T16:26:00.000-08:00

so it looks like the massive has been about as lively as this rat i found squished to death in my wood pile.

BUT I KNOW YOU'ALL ARE DOING SOME TIGHT SHIT, AND I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE IT SET AS YOUR HOMEPAGE, RIGHT?

Well i thought the experimental rock show went well, and heard some good reviews from other people too, it really was more of a show and less of a party, and it feels good to be able to be an outlet for touring bands. i look forward to throwing another in the summer. but seriously post something, anything, a picture or video you liked or god forbid some music links. i would really appreciate some good music, as i am just sitting around and painting over here in HI. anyways just had to break the silence. it was kind of weirdin' me out.

P.S. i want to do an artshow somewhere in the last two weeks of may.
heres a few pics i took in the last month

P.P.S i know we got two other tramps to fall back on and all, but come on someone go find that shit!

hey guys millz here, The art party was fun. and a success as far as breaking even and getting everyone drunk is concerned, and quinn made the big room look cooler than ever before!

I am hoping to get the approval of the housemates to throw a pretty low pro experimental indy rock show in the big room on the 3rd of january 2010! it would be MY DADS (originally the coma lillies) and NOT TO TREASON WHY (from Santa Rosa)
They would probibly crash here for the night as well as they are on tour. The coma lillies have had a great history of rocking this house so i am going to stand behind this one and help make it happen. let me know what you think.

next art show Dec 4th

2009-11-12T08:06:00.000-08:00

hey guys so as many of you know we bumped the next art show from fridAY the 13th to december 4th so that it can be a hammer fest, ALTHough there will still be a scary movie cocktail party this friday still. anyways so i would like to book the art show sooner than later so that i can work on other stuff. i am working on makin a deal with a few buddies from sd where i just give them some money made off the bar for gas to get up here. so lets set up the bar wicked proper. also a project i really want to see fruitation is the broken sunglasses portraits. i think that everyone should do someone else. maybe i could even get everyone to pull someone elses name out of a hat and thats who they draw. i would love to discuss and act on this project over a house meeting sometime soon. also, quinn wants to redo the walls in the big room for it with hiz maze stencils so if anyone could commit to helping us get that done it would be greatly appreciated. right now i am thinking that i am going to attempt to get botron and hiroshima to play that night along with Zach and R2 and possibly agler colin, coda? let me know if you guys have any artsists or musicians who might be interested in partisipating. also, dance performers, come out! thanks

Tonight, partyLOT went fantastic tonight. It was our first interaction with the local Santa Monica police department; they were all very lovely people. We welcomed them to partyLOT routinely; inviting them to try the VJ software and to be projected live with the video. The Sargent didn't make us turn the music, provided we left it a reasonable level; and researched Robert Palmer. For those who don't know, he sang "addicted to love"

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, was an English singer-songwriter. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop and blues.

Next partyLOT should be monday, hope to see you then. We love you! wholly and unconditionally ;)

tales from the wingman

2009-10-06T23:51:00.000-07:00

home > stories > Oakland to Austin via the Sunset, 2009
Oakland to Austin via the Sunset, 2009

We were looking to ride the Sunset route in the spring. Cyd wanted to see Austin, TX and I had heard some good things about the place so we got ourselves to Oakland and wandered the Desert yard waiting for the Roseville train. It arrived in the afternoon and began its brake inspection. As we watched the train roll by us I realized there was not enough wine and wanted to make a trip to Trader Joes for a couple more bottles. On our way back from the store we saw a group of riders hangin' around the tracks in Emeryville.

There were 5 of them and a dog. We all hung out and drank wine with the hope that the train would stop at the signals nearby. Sometimes they do and other times not. This time not, so we slept there and made plans to catch it stopped during its inspection the next day.

We caught our train as planned, loading up into a boxcar. The car was cozy with 7, a dog and plenty of boxed wine. It seemed like we were all Roseville-bound until we got to Martinez.

I knew something was up because of the slow speed through the yard. Once the dark figures with flashlights appeared alongside the train I woke Cyd and gathered gear. Luckily both doors were open and it was dark out.

The train came to a stop. "Everybody out, this is the police", was yelled as flashlights lit up the boxcar. Our companions and dog surrendered on the cop side while Cyd and I made a break for it to the dark woods nearby. After a few moments, having not been seen by the police, we snuck back onto the train as it aired its breaks. With a peek out and a wave we said "goodbye" to our recently met companions.

We made Roseville by morning. It was raining and we jumped in a gondola so it got nasty. Once we got out of Roseville we nabbed a boxcar on a siding near Stockton. From there to Colton was quick. I especially love the Tehachapi Pass with its long winding curves and the Cajon Pass with its view from above of the BNSF security checkpoint.

Colton was good for an easy mini-well to Yuma. Once we got to the Colorado river it was time to forget about the heat and dust with a cool swim. The river satisfied our every hope. We stuck near the river's edge for another day before moving on.

Early in the morning we caught a 48 bucket with a 40 container and rode it to Tucson. Cyd has family in Tucson so we stopped and got a nice dinner with her uncle.

Back at the yard we met a couple other riders. One we had met a few months prior and another that got into a fight with a good friend of mine. Good hearty chuckles came with that story. We all drank our share that afternoon and split ways before night, or so we anticipated.

The train rolled in, a double stack, and it had a perfect 48 bucket for our journey east. We loaded up and waited for the brakes to air. I remembered that there was a tower to check for riders a little ways down so I peeked around the corner and sure enough there was a rail cop in the tower.

The officer was closing in fast so we threw our gear and ran for some bushes. Union Pacific's PFE yard can be tough as it has long stretches of fencing on both sides and little coverage at the west end. Best to be at the rear of the train for this yard.

After the train passed the cop drove back into the yard and we walked back to further our friendship with the other riders and wait for a night train. It was about 12 hours later when the next stack rolled in. It had a Cadillac bucket in the same spot we got before. After jumping on I gave another peer around the corner and our little friend was in the tower again but with a spot light. It may not have been the same cop considering the duration between trains. Things were starting to seem difficult. Minutes before the train aired up we decided to get along the side of the container and roll past the spot light while hidden from view. Some would say this was dangerous, but it got us out of Tucson and blazing through the night towards El Paso.

We woke up and looked around at the vast desert surrounding the train. It was a beautiful sight and we were ready for Texas. Upon our arrival in El Paso we noticed many Border Patrol vehicles along the way. At one point we rode right along side a Mexican town. As we came into El Paso there were cameras on poles pointing in every direction, a Border-thug helicopter and many vehicles. We were very anxious to see if we would be able to ride through.

Once we came out of the tunnel that runs under the city Cyd immediately informed me of some Border-thugs in the yard. We got our gear ready and bailed overboard as the train came to a slow. It was all clear on one side so we started running towards the fence as soon as shoes hit dirt. Not a moment to spare as a Border Patrol vehicle with lights flashing rolled alongside our car on the other side. We made it into town and did our best to disguise.

With a little look around the Cotton street yard it was a quick decision to get a bus out to the Alfalfa yard. A few blocks before the bus stop another rider hopped off a bus and introduced himself to us. I'll keep him anonymous but he was a genuine friendly hobo with many stories of the years he had been riding. He showed us the catch out at Alfalfa yard and we three waited three days for a train. Not much was stopping, working, or doing anything slow enough.

On the third day we got a stack train that was built in the yard. Our friend was not in as much of a hurry and optioned not to run after it so we parted. Within moments we were flying fast towards the Sierra Blanca split. Our train went the Sunset route further south through Alpine.

We enjoyed the ride from El Pisshole to Alpine, gliding at a fast pace towards unknown territory. Once in Alpine the crews swapped and we were closing in on our final destination. About 10 miles outside Alpine, while I was getting comfortable with some lunch, Cyd made a weird noise with a mouth full of toothpaste. I inquired as to what the ruckus was about and she promptly pointed behind us and said "he totally saw us". I would have never noticed. The Border Patrol constructed a rider checkpoint tower to trump all towers in the middle of nowhere and we had been caught off guard.

We packed our gear and waited for the inevitable. As the train came to a siding it slowed. Not so bad, maybe we were just meeting another train or getting past by Amtrak. As the white SUV's began to show up with the Border-thug green paint scheme we knew our trick was caught. We jumped off and ran to the bushes on private property nearby. After doing a thorough search of the train and even adding a false start so as to lure us out the train took off without us.

We let the train go because things seemed a little tense. Voices were coming from all directions of the brush jungle we hid ourselves in. Within a quick second 2 pistols were drawn and a Border-thug came at us fast yelling in Spanish. "We speak English!". I croaked towards the hollow bore closing in. At this the 2 agents relaxed though kept the pistols pointed. "What were you doing on the train", the mean one asked. "I wasn't on the train", said I. They did not believe me but I stuck to the story so as not to walk into an unnecessary arrest. Finally the chief told me that they did not care and were not going to arrest us for riding the train but that it would be inconvenient for them if we did not admit it was us so they could stop their search. At this I complied and relieved the dozen officers surrounding us.

It was about 100 miles to Del Rio so we hitched a ride in the back of a pickup the entire way. If you have to hitch, a pick up bed is about as close to a train as you get. We were very thankful.

Del Rio was easy enough and we got lucky with a boxcar in the night. Because of all the hype we had been experiencing with security I voted that a grainer porch with high walls may be a little more under the radar so we moved to one nearby at the next stop. This particular porch was as safe and secure as any I have seen. Yet somehow, in the darkest hours of the night, a man with a flashlight woke us from slumber. "What country are you from?". I informed him we had been taken off a train by Border Patrol earlier that day and would really appreciate continuing on our way. He seemed to have forgotten we were ever there and away we went.

San Antonio was a break from the tough security of the Sunset. We were finally a short distance from Austin. After checking out the Alamo and a few train yards we set up camp and waited at a siding for a NBD. This attempt failed and we wound up catching a train to Houston in a fit of drunken impatience.

A stroke of luck I'll never understand was when a rail cop rolled alongside our train while we were in the Kirby yard and he began searching each and every well down the train starting with the one after ours. We felt pretty good to not be chosen for sacrifice that day.

Getting into Houston the weather got wetter. We hung around Tower 26 until a slow BN rolled by. We were hoping for a northerly but it turned east and we were going further from our city of choice. By early morning it was clear that the train had tied down a few miles outside of Lafayette so we stuck out our thumbs. We got a ride with two ladies going to the drive-thru daiquiri shop in Lafayette. The line was 10 cars long and blocked one lane of traffic in the center of town but no one seemed to mind. After we 4 were given our large daiquiris with straws in and ready for sipping I realized that this was very unlike anything in my home state, California.

Our friends dropped us off at the yard and we seemed to be in luck with a possible rear unit. Or was it the front? We got on a grainer and decided to go to New Orleans if the train didn't go towards Houston. N.O. bound we went. Having been to N'awlins last summer it was in our interest to get the next one going back so when the chance arose we switched trains at a siding.

Our WBD turned out to be a pleasant one as we got a night time survey of every Union Pacific and BNSF yard in Houston before it turned north. Things were looking good and Temple was in our sites; until we were cut in Somerville.

A day at the reservoir was a much needed rest. Complete with a BBQ and beer we were rejuvenated and ready to catch the next northbound. It started to rain once we got back into town so we took shelter on a covered porch of an abandoned home facing the train yard.

A NBD unloaded rock train showed and we hopped into a deep gondola. A few miles outside the yard I noticed a suspicious looking white vehicle at a crossing up ahead. We were slowing fast and it was time to be ready. Once we stopped, the SUV raced up to the front and a man began walking down the train and looking in every gondola. We decided to let the train go and walked 10 miles to the next town.

At this point it was Austin or bust so we stuck to our thumbs and wound up with some good rides, lots of free food and a hotel room for the night compliments of a local church. The following day we made it to the famous city limits and tuned in to a great city with cheap public transit, jammin' music, an excellent library, polite folks, and enough trains to get us further north and eventually to our next destination in Wyoming.

my name is josefina and i'm a housemate and friend of caity fares - who pointed me in your direction. there are two reasons i'm contacting you, both of them are centered around that fact that you live at the paul sweet house (i think!). ;)

my first inquiry - i'm helping blackbird raum (a local anarchist folk punk band) book their cd release show the second weekend of october. they are totally rad and have played with bands such as leftover crack, star fucking hipsters, and this bike is a pipe bomb. here's their myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/blackbirdraum

my connection with them is that i book a lot of diy punk and acoustic shows here in santa cruz and have booked them numerous shows in the past - most of my shows have happened at zami co-op (where i live) but i've also thrown shows at the bikechurch, the subrosa infoshop, the pacific cultural center and various other locations and houses around town. the show would probably be about 4 hours long. we think it would be totally AWESOME to have it at paul sweet house and i promise that after the show your house will look better then it did before cuz i am an after-show-clean-up-goddess. ;)

another band that we might have on the bill would be koalacaust, who are also totally awesome.

http://www.myspace.com/koalacaust

the second reason i'm contacting you is because i was wondering if it would be possible for me to park a bus on your property! i have access to a 30 ft. long bus (shorter then a 40 ft. school bus), and would like to live in it. i need a place to park it off of residential streets so that i don't need to move it every few days in accordance with local parking laws, and hopefully have access to a bathroom and kitchen. caity mentioned that i should contact you because that might be a possibility where you live. i am willing to pay $100 a month, plus utilities, and of course regular house chores. i am also willing to do types of work trade, such as make sure you have the most beautiful vegetable garden in town, the most immaculately clean bathrooms and the most raging shows and parties (if you're house is into it, of course). of course, all of these things are negotiable.

how do these proposals sound to you? i would really love to talk to you over the phone, preferably in person, as well as i am more then willing to attend a house meeting if you all do that to talk more about either subject and address any questions or concerns.

i am totally awesome! i throw the best shows and am a super fun and responsible housemate!

yes!

ok, hope this message finds you well and isn't too overwhelming. please write me back or, preferably, call my cell phone at: 831-345-6907. if i don't hear from you in a few days i will probably give you a call.

thanx for reading!

best . . . josefina :)

Network	September 25th
"I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!" Media madness reigns supreme in this scathing satire about the uses and abuses of network television. A TV network cynically exploits a deranged ex-TV anchor's ravings and revelations about the media for their own profit. Location: The Sentinel parking lot next to the main library

The Third Man

Oct 2nd

Challenging the laws that make public space off limits to the public after sunset, we move to San Lorenzo Park to show the only film ever shut down by the authorities (three times). In honor of Wes' birthday, we show his candidate for best film ever made. Great filmmaking in glorious black and white, a twisting plot, a haunting setting in post-war Vienna, a menacing Orson Wells, and fantastic zither music by Anton Karas. A grand late-summer GDI celebration with a whole park filled with food, drink, blankets, people, parents, young ones, elders, punk kidz, workin' folk, and students.

HOW THE WEST COAST ROCKS 09

2009-07-27T20:55:00.000-07:00

Yo guys, Millz here.
The west coast has been rockin in this fine summer of 09. Me and agent resnikoff have made it to portland in a weeks time. we cross paths with mr wingman and his buddy don from the coma lillis (who are re-uniting in portland!!) in emeryville and rode a freight outta there to roseville. there we got a warning in what we thought was a safezone and then spent part of a day working or not working on a car and then hit the river. slept at the train yard that night and woke up to 100degree heat the next day so we made a shanty out of a ripped tent and laid low. then we tried to jump on a hotshot IM train to portland by hiding under the axels but the train sided and UP police started swarming around 6 miles outta roseville. so that got hecktic as fuck. ho0urs later we all found a way to meet back up and decided the only way to survive was to hitchhike. so we left john and don after finishing a box of wine of course and got a ride from some grandparents coming out of a church in and industrial building. i am about to eat some Salomon so ill continue this shit later.

Enjoy the warmth in SC you guys! We now we know the meaning of cold....sometimes I wish I was fatter. I mean phatter. Queenstown seems a HUGE tourist spot, with snowsports and 'adrenaline sports' as they call them (skydiving, bungee, etc). Adam, Hugh and I take a bus toward the fjordlands to go on a boatride through Milford Sound, a huge inlet from the ocean with the most vertical volcanic formations you could imagine!!! I think all the handheld filmmaking we've done paid off, because we dont get seasick despite the boat rockin'....as the days get chiller I have more time for massiving - forgive the terse earlier posts.

Hey everybody...

Just a quick reminder that my 24th Bday celebration (An Iced Tea Party) is happening THIS Sunday, June 21st. I think there was some confusion since the date changed. But yes, it is this Sunday at:

770 Capp Street
San Francisco, CA 94110

There will be delicious iced tea and some food provided by me...but it is a potluck, so try and bring a lil something to share if you can, feel free to bring a few good people (no crazies) and it's a BYOBooze event.

Hope to see you there

Curing Someday Syndrome

2009-06-12T18:36:00.000-07:00

Good grace - there has been some major shyte going on.

Firstly, Outside of generally going insane - I've been working on my book Curing Someday Syndrome! Making exciting strides as I continue to delete large blocks of black and white. Oh yes, I build large chunks of black and white too. Sneak preview to come.

I've been auditioning movement artists and freaky people for CCC. While I've gotten some videos like this:

I've also gotten videos like this:

I've also been in the market for some new sauce. Things were oh-so-sexy back in the big city. Not much room for glamour in the little town I'm currently in. But upon coming across a shady little fetish shoppe cleverly named Camouflage in our downtown district I grew nostalgic of days old where drag queens, neo-burlesque, foot fetish parties, dominas and various new-age vaudevillian and cirque performers took over 90% of my love, time and energy. It got me to thinking...why haven't I hosted anything out here yet? So pirates and pixies, I give to you da ROOTZ and the RUCKUS...[: Flyer done by GIMP with help from me and MASSIVE vector bootcamp provided by R2 the Specialist :]
yay open source software!

HA! And if that weren't enough...Animal Collective just released their new music video for Summertime Clothes. Perfect timing...it was starting to get hot and lucky for you my birthday suit is in my summer wardrobe.

*wink*

The group is sick. The music is complex and exciting. The video showcases some really interesting motifs and uses dance as a springboard for aesthetic madness. A little wave for ya? A little pop? Some lock? Oh...what about hot balloon burlesque? Get down.

forgive me, but this video has some SICK effects

Hey Loves.

If you can, y'all should come out June 13th from 9pm-2am at the Lex in San Francisco to support the Lusty Lady's efforts to raise enough money to have a float for the Pride Parade. I'll be there, go-go dancing and being auctioned off as a date (later at night - think 11pm on, cause I have to work before that). I know that Jade's Safe Sex Bash & The World Naked Ride are also going on that night, so let's all go out to everything and support.

BLACKLIGHT COSTUMES DONE RIGHT

2009-05-03T15:42:00.001-07:00

EARTHLINGS!

I just saw shpongle last night. Amazing, amazing, amazing DJ set, totally catalyzed by the COMPLETELY INCREDIBLE UV REACTIVE COSTUMES. None of them can really dance, but everyone there was tripping so that wasn't as important I guess. As far as ways to spice up a DJ set, this was BADASS.

The guy on the far left with the feathered head-dress was my favorite. He had a different mask on the back of his head so he would turn around and do backwards-seeming head dances.

Tressa Gold in Santa Cruz for Nat'l Dance Week <3

2009-04-30T12:16:00.000-07:00

Hi Loves.

After having a lot of fun performing at El Rio for an AIDS/Lifecycle Benefit in SF this past Tuesday, I'll be performing in Santa Cruz on this Friday, May 1st for National Dance Week. The first performance will be at 6:30pm at Artisan's - the art gallery downtown on Pacific St. There will be an introduction (poem/performance piece) by the wonderful Dr. Wasabi, followed by a modest neo-burlesque duet by myself and Lindsay.

The second performance will take place at around 7pm at the Felix Kulpa Gallery, with another introduction by Dr. Wasabi (this time a titillating and fun performance piece called "Dr. Wasabi's Medical Spanking Clinic") after which I will perform my newest highly risque solo neo-burlesque piece!

Let your people know, and I hope to see you there <3

CONCRETE CLUBHOUSE

2009-04-25T09:15:00.000-07:00

Concrete Jungle is a new artist space on the Watsonville/Santa Cruz border in Northern California. In an attempt to serve the community , the managing bodies of the space decided to create a safe haven for local artists to host their events, workshops and spectacles. They did a great job of kicking off the madness with a 4/20 party - ha! And if you weren’t there you missed names like VIBESQUAD, MATTY G, Mad Zach & R2 the Specialist, and the Dub Pirates! Not to mention the “giant joint” installation piece hanging from the ceiling. The people will prevail! It's all about providing enrichment to Santa Cruz’s very intense artistic community.

The organizers of the space are currently opening the doors for new ideas and collaborations!

I've been asked to help kick off the madness.

Want to help Counter Culture Collective grow something big?
This can pretty much be our clubhouse if we want it to be.
