Wubakia @ Lupin Lodge

Howdy gals.fellas! Just a remindee that wubakia is playing tonight at Lupin Lodge in Los Gatos tonight at 8 o'clock sharp. The weatherman sez that the rain will stop... If it doesn't, weeelll what's better than being nekkid in the rain?

Naught, that's whaught!

NES ching ching and slither on the ground for planetary serpent.

see ya'll there (with smurf Z on the video, we pray).

Eat more Wubakia!

Wubakia wants to let you know that we have decided to release new music, everyday, forever.

Today's track, Spectral Jam, is an improvised piece from practice last week. Enjoy!

boo-ya!

Thank you thank you thank you for everyone helping to throw that shit together last night. Needless to say it was successful, good turnout, no hyphy kids breaking shit, successful multi-walled projections (with lots of planet earth, Jem, and fractals). I do believe that a lot of people went through mad hellish nightmare style life shit just before the party happened, I personally was threatening to quit the studio and was a big emotional wreck earlier this week. But alas, the vibeiness prevailed and a good time was had by all. The music kept going well until the sun came up, at which point many people wandered up on the hill and chilled outside. Great job everyone

I wish I had the whole play-by-play story of what went down but I got at the party close to 1am when it was well underway with Byron Space Circus rocking it. Wubakia had a camera set up on a tri-pod back behind the gaybar/VJ area, I talked to them today and said that they will get me the footage ASAP. I will post that here as soon as I am able.

JEM! is outrageous ... truly TRULY outrageous (woa-oh-oh!)

Project: TRIP OUT THE SWEET! aug 4th

Current project in the works is the show/party/experience at the Paul Sweet on August 4th.

Wubakia (adam's band) wants to play for a decent amount of time, I've talked to a couple in the Byron Space Circus and they are going to talk about it at their band practice tonight. I think theres going to be one more band that wants to play for like and hour. If eveything comes together it should be a full night of spacey music.

Adam sounds like he's got everything under control in terms of the sound equipment, mics, PA, etc etc.

OUR TASK: is basically to come up with ways to make the Paul Sweet as trippy as possible.

-It has been requested that the library be used as a "chill room" that needs the usual stuff of pillows tapestries, blacklights or other colored lights, wierd taxidermied elk, and things of the like.

-I think the VJ crew should work super hard at providing the ambience for the Big Room. I talked to Chanda today and got approval to use her projector in addition to our own one. Wubakia also says that they have a camera and want to film the party. This camera also has a firewire port that we can run into ArKaos potentially. The band also wants us to sample some footage of 'Shaft' and the show 'C.O.P.S.', I'm all about it.

-One thing that I would really like to get done on the visuals side of things is get as much footage as we can of slow moving stars and cosmos. Not many shots with overbearing planets in the shot but mostly stuff that we can project off of mirrors and try and cover the walls with. Maybe shots of landscapes and trees, I'm not sure, just anything that could potentially make people feel like "Whoa... I'm in a different place all of a sudden" as opposed to "whoa, I'm watching a screen right now"

-Artwork: this area's really open to contribution but I was thinking anything from Garden sculptures to wierd artwork in the hallways to fabric and tapestries hanging from as many walls as we can cover.

any ideas?

also, adam mentioned something that some of my other housemates brought up which is like an arts and crafts area or just art happening there, live, at the event. Clay? hot glue... im not sure . Erika said she would want to do body painting and stuff. It could all be fun, i just don't have too many ideas about that right now.

=========================
==NEEDED MATERIALS LIST==
=========================

-good, mentally grounded, enthusiastic people to attend a fun fucking show
-creative artwork or even just wierd-ass things to put around the house
-crew of VJ folks to gather visual samples and build ArKaos sets for
the event. this crew also needs to get together and strategize how to
project everything in the big room.
-any and all tapestries and large fluffy pieces of fabric. (oh ..
fucking parachutes work good for this ... anyone have any parachutes?)
-**Colored Lights** ain't gonna be no trippiness without those.
-Anything else anyone wants to bring to the table ... it's a very open
event in terms of ambience right now.

ROCK THE CASBAH
