cave party/underground get-down

hola amigos,

some of you may have heard me or bryan talking about a cave party going down on june 7th, once school's out, but if not, here's the sitch..

we have this underground cave on our property that was most likely used to stash booze and moonshine during the prohibition that doesn't get much play these days. once you squeeze thru the hobbit-hole style door(that's conveniently just wide enough to fit a keg), it's maybe 40 ft deep, from 12-18 feet wide and maybe 10 or 12 ft tall in the back. we run a generator up on top of the cave with the cord running down the breather tube in the back, allowing us to power up lights, sound equipment, video stuff, etc.  

so, i wanted to put the invite out to all you massive folks to come out and do your thing in our cave on june 7th(sat. night) at the top of mystery spot road.  we do have to keep it on the smaller side since the property owners live right across from the cave. we're thinking between 40 and 60 folks would be about right, so bring a friend, maybe two, but be kinda selective of who you tell. it should be a good group of our friends and your friends that wanna get down in the cave. but don't worry, since the cave is under a few feet of dirt all the way around, the noise in the cave will be pretty well contained and the party won't get busted.

we have discussed hanging a projector from the ceiling and putting up a white sheet on the back wall so we can have folks vjing some shit.  if any of you want to dj, feel free, we just kinda need a better sound system setup in order to hook everything up and so it sounds halfway decent. 

ummm, yeah. i have two more finals left, wed and thurs, and i'm totally free after that. just let me know if you wanna come check it out the cave beforehand , just to see what you're working with.  we're open to suggestions, ideas, etc, so throw 'em at me.  

oh, and carpooling is a good idea since we don't have tons of parking, but we'll figure all that out later, and everyone should BRING A FLASHLIGHT and a cup for the keg.

if you need to get a hold of me, my number's 530.277.2570

hope all is well.

peace

NASA DINNER AT AMES... WHOS GOIN?

So myself, R2, who else is going to dinner at Ames on June 5th?


Naaaaassa!

bear cave gets mobile!

so today marks kind of the unofficial closing of the bear cave as it once was. don't get me wrong, it's still right here, in my heart but the current configuration as a jam/work space for me and millz is looking for a new tenant.

it would be awesome if we could get someone we knew or someone we knew would not be a complete hagard beezy. but alas, im having kind of a big personal garage sale.

you can bid on my mpc, if you'd like.

im also selling a fatty technics 1210M5G turntable with all my records. i got some good stuff if you want to grab some choice ones.

the logic in behind this personal belonging alchemy is that I want to transmute all my shizo into as many laptops, harddrives, projectors, bike mounts, and backpacks as i can.

hit me up if you want some shizo

Hey Kids, this is Aaron (if you were at the paul sweet house about two weeks ago I was Jade's tall traveling companion/bodyguard). I'm tossing my able, idle hands into the massive exchange pot and hopefully I've got something to offer that you black emporers can use in your nefarious goings-on. I'm a filmmaker, plain and simple, and the manipulation of visible light is my game, anything and everything involving cameras, lights, sets, films, documentaries, scripts, etc is my passion. Other than that, if you need a place to stay in brooklyn, always hit me up.

Shall we put in the work to make their bodies jerk?

Shalomizan, once again, from the mix room.

life is getting very fun and challenging, and as some of you know my position at the PaulSweetery grows more impermanent each day. So over the last few days I've been pushing interactions that may help me thrive in my gypsifyed state of being.

This weekend I was in Belden, CA: Pop. 23.
I was helping the space circus out with a little bit of set up for the Bobolink festival. Which, to my suprise, ended up not being a COMPLETE hippy romp that got rained out and lost a bunch of money due to low ticket sales,
why?
because, somehow, someway, some PSYPHY-ass motherfuckrz weaseled their way in and fucking KILLED it on the dubstep tip. every stage, every night, sick.

Anyways, since it was such a small and long (3 and a half days) festival I had a good amount of time to name drop Narwallagram, meet some promoters, and get loose like a cannon when they dropped the nasty, cough-syrup, basslines.

There was also a gentleman I met named Ryan, with a merry band who said he does all manner of promotion under the name Champagne and Bacon. He's putting on the Cirque Du Soulstice. But more importantly he said he would be interested in getting us out to Reno in August to VJ for the Glitch Mob and other gigs. Tall promises for someone who's never seen our VJ stuff..

there was a big pit in my stomach the whole time not being able to VJ at the drop of the hat. so many opportunities missed.


sooo, tommorow (er today) Ima meet with Andreas at 1o'clock to work on
1.) business cards
2.) VJ promo reel (in HD of course)
3.) website construction
4.) any sort of creative mashing that may be nessessary to complete the above tasks.

and...
