Inspirational moments revisited

Once again.

Tonight me and 4 of my friends sat around, after a few drinks and tokes, and played a folk song where 3 of us played guitar and we all sang "holy lord I found the buffalo, holy lord I found it" and it sounded amazing...it was quite a spiritual moment I must say.

I had a few of those, myself.

I just saw what is possibly the coolest piece of installation/sound art I've ever heard. The artist took over an abandoned subway platform here in downtown Toronto, put giant subwoofers inside some empty train cars and played his own field recordings of trains through them. There were also vibrating soundboards in the ceilings, which made attached metal chains and bolts vibrate with infrasonic frequencies - supposedly a reference to the Zimbabwe Shona tradition of using subharmonic vibrations from M'bira thumb pianos to contact the spirit world. It was called Ghost Station.

Now I'm heading out again to see more free contemporary art.

hey Botley,ever eat a hot dog from one of those vender carts in downtown Toronto???

Actually, yes; that used to be my standard luncheon in high school. What do you expect for $2 CDN?

speaking of Canadian money,i exchanged $100 US at Casino Niagara this past weekend and got back $97.50 Canadian...less than par...

Isn't it great?


Today, my foot (left, that is) went back down to almost normal size and for the first time in three months, I look like I have a matching set of feet.
Lame, I'm sure, but a large relief to me on more than one level.

Bigfoot???

Three month long undiagnosed staph infection, actually...lol

glad you're OK...my wife works at a local hospital,staph infection is nothing to mess with...

It definitely wasn't/isn't fun.
And I now know for sure that people aren't lying when they say that it hurts incredibly bad.

I had one earlier while on LSD and blown away by this album.

Particularly 'Buffalo Ballet' brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommended.
