10.31.2001

Take a time machine back to My visit to New York over a year ago.

No new radio show today. :(
But a "best of" Marathon starting at 3pm Pacific. And Hug Nation at 6.

For the first time in forever....I'm not dressed up on Halloween. Not sure if its my recent depression, the dressing up last weekend, the fact that "terror" isn't fun anymore, my lack of funds, or simply that my lifestyle has so much non-holiday dressing up in it...
But as I sit here in normal clothes I feel...defeated.

Fireland is 6 years old!

Succa is on a roll again.

And yet another wrd entry.

10.29.2001

And with every funk comes a few new wrds entries

How strange...last night I was energized and ready to take on the world. Today I fell into a funk and feel dissatisfied with everything I'm doing.

I went to see Jane's Additiction tonight. My 6th time seeing them. Wow. What an amazing show.
Some persuasion, a discarded wristband, and some chewing gum and I made it down to the floor. Perry looked great. He was lucid and smiling and sending out good vibes. He and Dave Narvarro were sending out serious sex energy into the crowd. And the Burning Man influences in the stage decor made me smile. (There was a giant See-Saw and other cool shit.)

Posted a new Tale about Unicorns.

10.28.2001

Dressed in drag for our TRH party last night. Had fun for the most part. I wrote more on the RealHouse Blog.

10.27.2001

The Halloween celebrations have begun. Went to a pumpkin carving contest on Thursday. My entry tried to encorperate Rubber Debbie, but has some engineering chalenges. The other pumpkins were awesome. One friend carved his into a VW bus. Creative geniuses, I tell ya!

Last night was the first dress up party. MissM and I went as The Norse Gods of Affection: Hugulan and Hugulina. (Hey, any excuse I have to wear my vibrating jock...). Incredible party, incredible costumes.

Tonight is a party at theRealHouse. Tune in with a webcam and a costume and I'll float you a day pass. (Shoot me an IM vis CitizenX)

10.25.2001

The radio show had technical trouble yesterday, but we played web pictionary instead. I pointed the cam at my paper and then people tried to guess what I was drawing (in chat). People could suggest the next topic via an IM. It was very cool. Thanks for playing!

10.24.2001

Threw up a note on sexual repression to wrds.

Of course, then edward sent me this Taliban dating link and reminded me that Bin Laden had 4 wives.

No new radio show today. But an archive should be up...and HugNation will still go as planned at 6.

We may have to explore other methods of broadcasting the radio show. Any ideas?

I realized that I was unhappy with the old font used on Globalgasm's logo. It was too corse and unrefined....So I stayed up til 5am changing globalgasm.com. Maybe once I've slept I'll know if it is an improvement or not. Feedback (sober) welcome.

10.23.2001

I am letting the domain cockybitch.net lapse. I still haven't done anything with cockybitch.com...but its always hard to let a domain go. Like sending a puppy back to the pound to be destroyed.

10.22.2001

I know, I know...I said I was gonna be doing a Tale a week, again. Well, I'm trying to finish up my press pack. So lets just consider that this week's Tale, okay?

You can check out the intro to my video.
An online version of the zed card I made.
or my updated resume.

10.20.2001

Suggested pick-up line # 24:
"I couldn't help but notice that I'm rubbing my crotch against your leg..."

10.19.2001

I posted a new "wrds" clarifying my nontraditional life.

If you are as fascinated by the adult industry as me, check out this site run by a friend of mine. I've said it before, but I always viewed people in porn as sort of Niezche Supermen/women...unbound by the morality standards of the day.

10.18.2001

3 meg intro to my demo reel. Yeah, the intro quote is pretentious. (It's a work in progress)

Yesterday was a day of connecting with friends. Had a wonderful lunch with Barbarella who just returned from New York. Evening was a birthday gathering for OrangeShonda. I laughed so hard I may have dislodged internal organs. Kaya, Dlove, DigitalPunk (Who is getting a SWEET new tattoo), Valerie and Veronica, plus more good friends who don't have websites.

10.17.2001

No radio show today, But HugNation is still DEFINITELY on!

Inn fact, I'll be talking about HugNation on TalkTV today live at 4:30 (pacific).
If you're in canda, can ya tape it for me? I'll make it worth your while...heh.

10.16.2001

Do you have a website? You do?! Well enter it in the SXSW Web Awards contest and maybe I'll get to hand you an award at next year's SXSW!

Uh-oh...John's got the video editing bug. Here's a 1 meg HugNation promo video in Windows Media File format.

(And since I forgot to post anything yesterday, its also the Tale of the Week.)



10.15.2001

I updated the HugNation page.

10.13.2001

Going to Earthdance Today. Dancing for Peace sounds right up my alley.

10.12.2001

I just finished a first draft of my "Demo Reel."
It was my first video editing project...I'm stoked!
Its about 17 minutes long and has clips from STUDS, SXSW, The Webbies, Hot Tub TV, RealHouseTV, and more craziness.

Now I need to polish it, get a headshot, and convince Oprah to have my baby. Errr...I mean have me on her show.
(p.s. If you know anyone who knows anyone who I should send a "HugNation Press Pack" to, lemmie know!

10.11.2001

Did I already mention I listed something on Ebay?

Scratchy throat. Achey muscles. Stuffy head. Either I'm sick, or possesed by a bumbling demon.

This is some beautiful Flash. (thanks AIR)

10.10.2001

OMG. This is classic. Bert and Osama.

SHOW ARCHIVE ONLINE

"Feel The Love" Radio today @ 5

(pacific times)

My grandpa is fucking amazing.

10.9.2001

I am trying to massage three birds with one bottle of lotion:
1) learn how to use Ebay.
2) Try out CitizenX's new "I'm online" feature
3) generate a little cash for the 911 fund.

I had a few paper prehensile Tales zines left over after Burning Man, so I'm offering them on Ebay in their "Auction for America." I pay shipping and all funds go to the 911 fund. This is a test, but it also is a real auction. Want a zine?

(or if you're an Ebay user, want an attached video chatroom to serve as your storefront? email me)

10.8.2001

Well, I forgot to post my Season 3 Goals for TheRealHouse. And, as decided in a previous house meeting, I must pay the penalty. I have to sleep outside on the pool furniture tonight. A pic of our outdoor slumber party is posted on TheRealHouse weblog.

I posted a Tale about Burning Man. I couldn't figure out a good way to integrate photos (read:"I am too lazy") so it's basically a text tale. The photos are online seperately.



If you haven't read my Burning Man Tales from past years, you may want to check those first.

"If none of this had happened, right now I'd probably be watching that stupid Journey VH1 Behind The Music episode for the 40,000th time. Or talking to my friend Kerri about the Gap skirt I want," said Vance, holding her grandmother's frail, time-worn hand. "Now, all I can think about is how precious life is, and how important it is to spend quality time with the people who matter to you, because everything could change in an instant."

Added Vance: "I just want my regular life back."

Last two weekends I've gone to see Valerie and the Vibe Tribe perform. Man, if you ever want to dance and smile, check them out. (pics of me and the tribe from last year)



10.5.2001

If you ever visit my house, you'll get this pamphlet handed to you at the door. Then, while you're reading it, I'll touch your calves in impure ways.

Longmire is at it again:

I was wondering why that lip purse was so bothersome to me.

10.4.2001

My roomate, Mindblur, is definitely fitting into TheRealHouse. If you're a House member, his Mission Mindblur show tonight looks like a hoot. Followed by my New Roomate Jenn's premiere of her "Carnel Counsel" show. Nice.

"You can either laugh with me or at me, I just like the sound of laughter."

Last night's radio show is now online.

10.3.2001

coolio! Another Halcyon Burning Man pic

Feel The Love show today at 5pm (music pre-show at 4 Pacific)

If you didn't catch last week's show, it is worth a listen.

More Globalgasm thoughts in a new "wrds" entry.

Dickface.net is exactly what it says. Next time someone asks what Burning Man is like, I'm sending em to that link.
Side note, I've been asked to contribute a headshot to a Burning Man themed dickface photoshoot. I'm so excited!!! (But not as excited as that last Pinochio pic)

10.2.2001

Globalgasm had some technical troubles (no, not erectile dysfunction) but was fun nonetheless.
Side question: If your computer gets a virus durring Globalgasm, is that considered an STD?

10.1.2001

Tonight is Globalgasm!!!

In honor of the day, I posted a new Tattle Tale written by my lover:
