This weekend some rad folks threw a clandestine box truck party at a secret location. Everyone made really cool environments in their box trucks. Laura and Robyn made a campfire box truck and I presented some of the stories that Todd Chandler and I collected and edited with audio selects from the inimitable Annea Lockwood.

me & rubes walking home, originally uploaded by antlered.
This was the best week ever because Rubin visited me from Canada and James and Seb were here from Wales on their way home. It’s good to have visitors because it gets you out of the house. On Monday Dark Dark Dark played at Zebulon and so many people I love to bits came through. Ben Mortimer and Kara Blossom even showed up fresh off the plane from Berlin. Yesterday was the first gathering of a new raft project. SO good to see everyone in one place. I even got to see Governor’s Island AND Katharine AND Laura AND Duncan. Governor’s Island has an amazing installation by Anthony McCall.
This was Dark Dark Dark’s encore of Trouble No More with everyone singing along:
Also, some very important squirrel-related updates HERE. Marc the squirrel man is verifying that he is indeed the feeder and friend of Columbia University squirrels, though there are some who would claim he is a liar. This would, however, be proven wrong as of late. Note the proof below:

Anthony McCall
Anthony McCall’s work encompasses three distinct sets of practices: the sculptural, the pictorial, and the cinematic. Consisting of two elegantly simple light projections, Between You and I expands on the two basic components of cinema-time and light-in order to create a spectacular, immersive environment. As the projected light beams slowly travel through mist, they begin to carve out sculptural shapes in space. The fields of light interact with one another, the visitors in the space, and the striking architecture of historic St. Cornelius Chapel. Though the two shapes never meet, they are in a constant play-suggesting that, like two human companions, they attempt to comprehend themselves in relation to one another.
Here’s a video of sailing in Maine this weekend while visiting a bunch of oyster farms.

First sailing weekend of the summer (on a sailboat not a raft). It was glorious despite the bad weather warnings and the actual bad weather. We managed to catch some drops of sun and some light wind to tool around orr’s and bailey islands in Maine.

this is a really sad note from harrison, please give what you can:
Hello friends and family,
So as many of you know, and many of you don’t as I have not even talked to you in a while. I am in the midst of a crazy tragedy here in southern India. I was travelling with my sweetheart Hollis by motorcycle and the worst possible scenario has unfolded. She was in an accident that took a freak turn and I will spare you the gorey details (and they are gorey) but end result, she is in a coma with the most serious injury one can sustain. She has a serious brain stem injury. This is the part of the brain that controls and is connected to everything. The accident happened at 11:30 am on Tuesday Feb. 24th, it is now 5:30 am on Monday March 2nd as I am writing this (I don’t sleep). This is what’s going on… The treatment she is recieving is okay, for India. There are however huge rats scurrying about on the floor. I am sleeping on the ant covered floor outside her room as I am not allowed in and the water they have used for many procedures is not even purified. Today as the final straw they would not allow her own mother who has just flown here from Tennessee with emergency support from the US consulate to see her own daughter when she inquired. She has been allowed some of the time but they sort of shame you/ are mean to you to make you not ask for visitation. They are not observing her brain pressure and have done nothing to alleviate the swelling in her brain. These are things that can make of break her early on in her recovery and healing process. Her chances are slim. Her chances are slimmer here in Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, India. So we miraculously got her accepted to Stanford which is one of the best hospitals in the world. Also, as a charity case which is very rare, since she has no insurance. So what we need now is to get her there. I am reaching out to everyone I know to help us get an ICU Plane (a.k.a. air ambulance) to fly her back to California. If anyone knows anyone with a plane we could rent or has anybody in the Air Ambulance industry or a doctor who could volunteer their time to come and get her and fly her to Stanford and reduce the cost… those things would be amazing. The reality of the situation is that we need to raise $150,000 dollars, now for the quote we have. There is a blog that Hollis’s best bud Eliza (from her bicycle dance troupe the SF Derailleurs) started: friendsofhollis.blogspot.com and it has a donate button on it. I would like to urge everyone to give something to this button even if it is 5 dollars and then pass it on to everyone they know. Hopefully we can all figure out a way to give $1,000 whether it be by sheer generosity or organizing a fundraiser where ever this reaches you. Send it to people who know her and send it to anyone who is a compassionate person and knows what its like to lose a bright brilliant star of a person. She is an amazing performer, heart, bicycle and food activist and so much more, in San Francisco (and everywhere) and we need to do everything we can while we have the possiblity, to bring her back. It was crazy to go through my contacts to select everyone to send this to and see the amount of amazing people who are no longer alive on it and how badly I don’t want to add her to this group. Please help however you can even if its just keeping her in your thoughts and sending healing energies and magic. You can write me with any questions or support or call/text anytime, day or night.
Thank you more than anyone can be thanked, for everything you have all done so far, you have kept me going in my darkest hour. Please forward this on. Put it on myspace, facebook, your blog, craigslist, tribe, tell everyone.
love and teary thanks,
harrison
it’s so funny.
