Making Space

Dear you, reading this,

Wow! It has been a long time since I updated this blog. Why you ask? Well for one I haven't had a computer for about a week and for as much as I love Squarespace, their mobile developer interface could use some work. I couldn't even use their photo editor to post new haiku for you. did you know that haiku is the plural of itself? I sure didn't.

So I've moved to Tucson. Or rather, I am in Tucson currently. The more I develop this website, the more like home it feels. I live in cyberspace more than physical space and that is actually quite freeing. With a stable internet connection, a phone, and a laptop, I can create content and make connections wherever I go. I spend just as much time talking to friends on the phone as I would if we could actually hang out. 

Of course, there is a great benefit to gathering in person. You feel things around people that don't come across on the phone or via text. Being in the presence of someone is a completely different feeling than communicating over a peripheral channel. For that, I've started frequenting any place where people gather. I've started showing up at a maker space called Xerocraft that's full of awesome people doing amazing things with practically no budget. I sold haiku at a street fair until a security guard informed me about the merits of having a roving permit. Who knew it was illegal to sell things on the street? I tried the same thing on the U of A campus and met a man who makes the coolest geometric designs. He ended up taking me back to his place and performed some sort of ritual with 3D prints of his designs. Chaos magic is a blast. 

Now, I'm looking for some sort of mobile living arrangement. The world is becoming increasingly hospitable to nomads. A vast majority of my friends are now spread out across  the country and the world. I could spend a lifetime visiting them, putting on shows, helping out with their endeavors, and broadcasting our talents. Plus I've got to get a move on. Saturday marks 3 years until the red rocks show. With your help, we will make the space come alive.

As always thank you for reading,
