Smokin' Hot.
YO! I just got aholda'dis..yaddida? Seems Cali is doing a number on my speech...but not my judgment. Is it just me or is Michael Dirt a total hottie? And talented to boot! Hooray! Oddity artists unite!

+FLY+
The other night was pretty unreal and there were a few moments where I could not tell if I was alive on Earth or Heaven or Sandy Otherwhere. I grabbed Katie by the hand and said "wanna fly?"
Afterwards, she exclaimed that she felt like she was breathing for the first time and flung her arms out like she was receiving some great hug from God[dess]. This made me happy.
AcroYoga is what I guess is the new BIG thing.
I see alot of this at clubs like LOVE (NYC) and at Burning Man. Pretty much wherever contact improv jammers, hippies, and yoga folk gather. I was slightly interested and then my friend Niko kind of just up and pulled me in! I can't say how addictive this stretch is...on too many levels.
Ultimately it's a combination of acrobatics, yoga and thai massage. It involves two people, a base and a flyer - carefully and attentively going through various poses that test their trust, core strength, flexibility and partner flow. Super similar to adagio - it's fun stuff...check out this vid!

Things Get Stewy
For such a tiny little hole in the wall - Santa Cruz throws down hard on the art tip.
In my short time here, I've already encountered some of the best graffiti I've ever seen - cave parties - bike porn and let's not forget...the TEAM PAUL SWEET ART PARTY on the 5th! yay!!!!
It's amazing what happens when people get all stewy and condensed. I feel like getting down with some of the local artists in a big way is in order....SO
I plan on getting a very special person to collaborate with me in a live art/bodypaint/ uv reactive dance-splosion for the upcoming shindig. shhh...don't tell nobody.
I guess photos and such to come!

Puppeting Ography
Technology and the human body cohorts again!
This is brilliant choreography. I can not help but wonder what dance the entire body could do without conscious thought with this technology. IF we could survive this type of stimulation full body!
