Some lost photos

Here in southern california you can feel summer starting to show itself for a few days at a time then getting snatched away again. With this in mind, some pictures from last summer, just in time for... summer.

Thank you to everyone who came out for Shelby West this weekend. It was a really cool festival to be a part of and a unique chance to work with Dan Moyer. We have been big fans of each other from across the country but this was the first time we collaborated and it was a really nice night of theatre and look forward to it next year.

As good as The Opposite (http://vimeo.com/16713278) was the band after the show The Body Parts(http://www.myspace.com/thebodyparts) was ten times better.

Animation forthcoming.

finally back in an LA groove

it took a while but at last I am back in something of a groove here in LA. Life seems as normally weird as it ever does, knowing that the shape of the week is that it has no shape is the main lesson I have learned in the past 9 months.

Photos from Seoul and Tokyo

For those on the other side of the pacific

taken at what I believe is "Dangdae Harbor" near Tamna Castle. Pretty wild day, my fingers went numb taking this picture.

New Name for Everything

(View from my window, New Year's Day.)

Our first session has ended here in Jeju, it was only four days but I was sad to see some of the kids go, but we got 24 more new ones today. I finally got to sleep in this morning, the first time I have slept past 7 in Korea! Which was felt really good. Then we took the campers staying between sessions down to the movie theatre in the superstore Lotte Mart the catch phrase for Lotte Mart is "More Than Life" which is pretty sweet. We saw a very weird film called "The Last Godfather" starring Korean star YoungGu a weird Charlie Chaplin, Mr Bean, Ernest blend who is wildly popular here in Korea. Even though the movie was made for Koreans, it was all in English, really horrible english with minimal plot, but English nonetheless.

The sun has still yet to make an appearance here in Jeju, but tonight I am going to make the trek down past the Korean megachurch to see the ocean. Even though I have been going out in Jeju and seeing various things, I dont have much of a sense of how close or far away things are. I know also that I am very close to Mt. Hallasan, the highest point in Korea but because of cloud cover there has only been one day I was able to see the foothills covered in tangerine farms. Tangerines are very big here, they are not like the Floridian variety I grew up with, these have thicker skins and are much sweeter, none of the citrus tang Americans are used to. Speaking of Americans, since food was scarce after the Korean war Americans imported lots of food which has infused itself into staples that the locals consider their own, including Spam which is popularly used in a soup which translates to "Army Base Soup" a meal that any time I am in a restaurant is recommended to me since I am American. Culinarily speaking, this country is astounding, I knew about kimchi and korean bbq, but the soups and breads have been a wonderful surprise. At every meal in the cafeteria there is the option of a spicy salty soup, which if anyone knows me, what more could I ask for? Hope all is well back in the states.
