This story has been effecting me a lot since I heard it. I don't know any of the people who were involved in the party or who were killed, but some were friends of our neighbor this year out in the desert. They are peers, even if I never met them, burners who threw a party not unlike the kind that we love to throw, to have fun and dress up and dance and celebrate... How can you even begin to wrap your head around something so senseless?
I don't know what I can do to help, but just wanted to throw whatever love and condolences I can out to Sporkly and any other northwest burners who need it. It seems like so little.

My weekend wasn't nearly as productive as I'd wanted it to be. I hoped to get the house cleaned up, to work on music. Other than a lovely lunch with gunn, I barely moved on Saturday. Granted I was sore from the bout on Friday, but I thought I'd have a bit more motivation than I did. S4 came home from work bearing the Firefly box set and a bottle of wine, because he's the best. We consumed a bit of the first and all of the latter in surprisingly short order. That was lovely.
Board games and team meeting on Sunday. Good to hang out with djnoise again, outside of short hellos between sets at the club, though I am feeling the urge to go dancing again sometime soon. other than the bout, my last few weekends seem to have been pretty sedentary. I managed to get a load of laundry done, but no music.

I'm playing for the art opening in 12 days. Hope I'm ready.

yeah, you would have liked Jeremy a lot. The whole chickenhed crew is probably most like the ubercarnies - they liked to build big, random structures, like when for Phoenix Fest last year they put up two domes and a giant tower... eh? eh?


it's hard cause the last message he would have wanted, in my story, for us to take from this would be to close our doors and distrust our friends and new friends at parties.


The CHAC isn't exactly a wherehouse, either - it's a large space right on capitol hill that is the home of burner llc Static Factory, the Stronghold people, and a lot more.


So what _could_ be done, overall is to send mail and love to all the burners in seattle who are reeling from another death -



Rachel Corrie was a big friend of the static factory kids, who died in Palestine under a bulldozer. So to have the party at CHAC have an afterparty across the hill shot up is a lot like that event, only close


talk soon, mail later.

Goddamnitall, but life is capricious and arbitrary. Sucks.

But here's the comeuppance. Doesn't matter if you're ready, it's going DOWN. 'SRoll!
