Been awhile since I have written in here. Things are going well. Started a new job. Traffic Power finally collapsed in on itself. Violet has also started a new job. I’ve started spinning fire, should have an art car come singularity, and people are asking for my expertise on dome building. So all in all things are going well.

I was gifted a wonderful drawing from an artist bythe name Mike Cody at the end of Dark Skies. It was a picture I had seen at Singularity and instantly fell in love. I don’t know if he has a website or not, and if it turns out he does I will be linking him. But I though I would share with you this amazing piece of art. I will warn you though it may be highly offensive to some individuals, and it does contain some graphic nudity. So this may not be something you want to look at from your office. Oh and if you are interested in purchasing a print, let me know. I can contact the artist on your behalf.

I am proud to present Osama Bin Naked

Post-Event Review to be forthcoming.

Here’s a teaser. The Pirate Camp Rocked.

Woo hoo. Dark Skies is coming. That means a weekend of fun filled freedom of expression. I can hardly wait. The Theme Camp, Porno Pyro Pirates, will be up again, and this time will hopefully stay up. Much better organization this time. We’ve even got other camps wanting to be near ours. This weekend I am off to stake the city out and get the dome up. Just a few more things needed in preperation. Man I am so excited. I hope to see you all out there on the Playa. Bring Rum.

Today I found out that my grandfather, Ronald Graham, has passed away. He was just recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer and had just started chemo therapy. His death was very sudden, and not directly because of the cancer, but rather indirectly from the treatment. It was an accident in the bathroom that resulted in a broken neck. I am extremely sad to hear of his passing. That’s probably why I am writing. So I can let out all the emotions that are going through me right now. The last time I spoke with him, he sounded good, and was ready to fight the cancer. Part of me is happy that he went quickly, and didn’t waste away from cancer or the treatements. However it still feels far too sudden.

I last saw my grandfather about 9 months ago at my wedding. He was getting older and as a result had mounting health problems. Nothing too serious, or unexpected. I always enjoyed seeing my grandfather. Growing up we lived with my grandparents and so Grandpa was like a father to me. We grew up in a paradise, where we learned to work hard, and appreciate what we have, and the fruits of the earth. He taught me how to work with my hands, and fix things around the house. He also taught us a great appreciation for the outdoors. My love of camping comes from him. One of my greatest regrets was that I hadn’t gone fishing with him for over 10 years. Fishing with Grandpa was always one of lifes great pleasures. I still remember when he decided I was old enough to learn how to fly fish. We were up in Montana at this little camp ground not too far from Hamilton. He lent me one of his rods and put a training weight on it and showed me the technique. And boy did I practice. I wanted to make the family proud with my skills. A few days later I got to go fishing for real with a fly rod. Hooked me a whitefish in the belly. They all laughed at the absurdity of it all, but all the same we ate that fish.

Grandpa really loved the outdoors and working with his hands. If he wasn’t building something he was out fishing and living life to the fullest. He never was one to just sit around and do nothing. He always had to be working on something. He always seemed happy too. Always quick to chuckle. He cared alot about his family. All of us. He would always be there when we needed him. Growing up with him is on thing I will be eternally greatfull for. It’s because of his influence that I am who I am today. He was the pillar of our family. The rock we turned to when things went bad. I know that my life was better for knowing him and that the world has lost something great with his departure.

Grandpa. I know you are watching over us from heaven and will always be in my heart. May you rest in peace.
