All Peoples Temple-Building the Temple/Process
So, a few weeks ago my good friend Eugene Steele approached me and asked me if it would be possible to construct a temple that incorporated many aspects of the religious history of the world that would celebrate the diversity and uncanny unity of humanities' highest spiritual ambitions. Sure, no problem I said. I haven't slept since.
The All People's Temple is 12' x 8' painting on 1/4 " door skin that has been jigsawed out into sections representing religious architectures from various historical periods/geographic regions. The pieces fit together and will be mounted on a 3/4 " plywood backdrop that supports a painting of a stylized Tree of Life, representing the organic and biologic unity of our species and planet.
The performance will involve digital video and music created and sequenced by the !APT to create a loose narrative expressing different periods of the building of the All Peoples Temple, which will be enacted kinetically by the acclaimed performance troupe Bad Unkle Sista.
There are many other elements and twists and intricacies of the production, but here are the photos of what I personally organized and called into being, with big hours coming from Lauren, Denise, Bert, Vincent and Bethany, you guys are my art-core souldjas, big ups!

How I feel, sometimes
Like these guys, and more. So much damn feeling all the time. Se la vie, je suis.
The fat comedian said: "If you were one of those dumb americans who took French in high school instead of Spanish, I hope you get stabbed at a taco truck."
God, I love taco trucks.
They're part of my heritage.
Let us pray now

Not super bright.
It flew into the kitchen through the back door. It flew around for hours banging its head on the ceiling. I tried to guide/chase it out with a broom. I tried to lure it down with an open honey bear to the window sill and then, theoretically, out. To no avail.
I left it to fly around bumping its head on the ceiling for another couple hours.
I felt bad for it.
Then I caught it using my laundry hamper and a baseball hat, and I took it outside, and it flew up to the jasmine flowers and took a long drink, really, that I deserved.
But I just watched it, and refrained from drinking, and refra
ined from smoking cigarettes, and got my camera and took a picture of it.
I realized yesterday that hummingbirds are not super bright.
