GFLA opening! One of the smallest, quaintest, best outdoor venues ever. Umphrees Mcgee. This show was really LOUD. I was standing by a speaker and the sound was blowing my hair back. Or maybe it was the wind. The loud rock and roll wind.
I left a little sitting deer on the speaker. When I did it, some stranger a few rows back gave me a thumbs up. I watched for a while but nobody grabbed it. I feel like the speaker animals usually get got by the sound techs. But who knows? And the thumbs up made me feel accomplished-- like that stranger was in on the game, like this project is really digging in.
I gave a small hedgehog to a very large hippie dude. Handed it right to him. He seemed super unimpressed. Like, oh geez, "you people and your hedgehogs." But the truth is: the guy was a hedgehog if I ever saw one. King of hedgehogs, maybe.
Big couple of weeks coming up. Lots of outside music. Lots of animals. Lots of spirit. Stay tuned.
Part community art project, part spiritual journey-- because beasts are everywhere, and we're all a little animal.
