Amazake – put in mind of that delicious, creamy, sweet drink by an e-mail from the Erewhon market on Beverly Boulevard in L.A. – it’s not Rainbow Grocery, that’s for sure, but it was a nearly daily stop when I was in Tinseltown for two months last year.
The Grateful Dead, their influence – the Wolfgang’s Vault newsletter features posters for bands under their influence, like Widespread Panic and Leftover Salmon. All part of “the free-flowing music genre”, says the write-up. Relevant also, it says, since today is 4/20. And Taurus begins today, or soon…a hundred-80 degrees distinct from my own astrological tribe of Scorpio – a fixed sign, Taurus is, like Scorpio, but its element is earth, while mine is water. As Bruce Lee said, be like water, my friend.
Om Shan Tea – always something interesting happening there, even apart from the weekly temple dancer events on Fridays. Mention of the Federation of Damanhur in their new newsletter – affiliated with the Temples of Humankind – “an extraordinary underground work of art dedicated to the reawakening of the divine essence in every human being.” Don’t sound too shabby to me – Damanhur said to be a northern Italian “spiritual eco-society”. Something to look up and think on…presentation at the 14th Street near South Van Ness location on the 22nd, 7 to 10pm…Shama Viola will speak.
Matt Monarch and The Raw Food World information – like his article about the confusion about the concepts of acidic versus alkaline, in terms of our body systems…a lot of interesting information and products there, of value to some.
Saber tooth cat skull fossils – new consignment of them for those so inclined towards such artifacts at Paxton Gate on the 800 block of Valencia – I suppose that whole Valencia Strip from 16th to 24th is my current most favorite boulevard in San Fashionisco…don’t imagine these are within my budget, even if I wanted to have one, which I don’t, but they could be something to look at as part of a stroll along that strip.
Richard Nash, formerly of Soft Skull Press – article about him at the Alterati: The Other Culture site brought him to mind. Have heard of that publishing imprint but haven’t focused on it, but sounds like something some of you would be interested in…Nash said by the Utne Reader to be one of the fifty visionaries changing the world – another source considers dude the primary Twitter user changing the shape of publishing. So I present him here for your consideration.
Borderlands Café, also along that Valencia Strip – like the Rigoberto Hernandez article from a few months back about the establishment. The only coffee shop I go to in that area…tho’ underground comix artist Cameron Forsley apparently prefers Muddy Waters nearer to 16th Street…we have finally agreed upon a price for a piece of his art I asked for, and I’ll be meeting him soon, I guess at Muddy Waters, to make the exchange, inked paper for inked paper. He says it’s “rad”. I’ve got hopes for it.
The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty – START – a recent Care 2 Action Alert informs me that the U.S. and Russia have just signed this, a step towards reducing the world’s arsenals of nuclear arms…the message says to urge senators to ratify it. Guess that’s a good idea? I tend not to think of all the real weapons of massive destruction poised upon total global annihilation, but that’s why I subscribe to Care 2, to get a little bit of that into consciousness, for better or verse.
Lemurian Crystal Ormus, from RawGuru, to change the subject, perhaps – “contains superconducting nanoparticles of monoatomic gold” and other precious metals – a rare, unique product – 50 grams, 80 bucks. I do like the rare and unique. Don’t want a saber tooth cat skull, but would like a good quantity of these crystals.
