Magic World Video Shoot
Had a great video shoot yesterday! Not only was it a beautiful sunny day despite the "showers" in the forecast, I held a colorado river toad with a crown, drove a magical wonderbus, and gave a leprechaun with bling a ride home. Feeling blessed and grateful for our friends and family--the wonderful crew we had! There's really so much more but you'll have to wait for the video...

The Green Expo is a multi-city event showcasing green technologies and products. We were spreading our own brand of green for the environment - The Love Bubble - at the Main Stage on Saturday and the Children's Pavilion both days. We met alot of fun folks, including the creator of Norky (norky.com) and musician extraordinaire/metaphysical healer, Michael Lee Gogin who among many things is the lead singer of the "Mini Kiss" band and the bell hop in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!

Synchronicity & the Hella Hipster Hoedown # 9!
Friday's show was ripe with synchronicity! Where Lucas Ave and Pizarro St. meet was the location of our show, the Perhspace Gallery. Lucas is the name of our boy, my girlfriend's son aka Joey the Dogg in our crew, the Chocolate Chips. Pizarro is my last name...love these little signs to keep ya going. Coincidence, I think not. Though these things happen often in the Love Bubble!
Elaine Layabout, whom I met at our last show at Grumpa's Merchants Mart in Venice, orgainized the whole event. I gave Elaine a CD and she loved it so she booked us this gig. Turns out we're also both huge Herzog fans. Fitting to have the spirit of Herzog in the air---his film career seems to be driven by bizarre synchronicity.
The venue was looming with hella happenin hipsters of the urban and hoedown persuasion. An honor to play with Elaine and the Layabouts, the Cobra Lillies, and Blackbird Raum. Hope to perform many more shows with these guys! Also turns out Zack, the accordionist of Blackbird Raum is old San Franscisco friends with Matthue Roth of By Ur Side and Circles in the Love Bubble. Blackbird Raum was wildly amazing, no mics! Back-home instruments like washboards, broomstick bass, banjo's, mandolin, etc...but in the spirit of gypsy punks! radness.
The Cobra Lillies were amazingly and funly superb as well! A huge group! like 10 or more instrumentalists. They were magical--poetry, personalities, dancing and a bit of brawling in display for all-- all in the spirit of Rock N Roll.
As for our show, those kids, the Chocolate Chips rocked it! Ava Flava and Mikyla had their best performance and brought so much energy showing off their chops. Even Lucas mustered up the energy to dazzle the audience with some improvised hoedown breakdancing. Words cannot describe his cuteness. And the Choco Chips all together have such overwhelming cute energy I have but the loveliest memory of the night. Even the banjo player/singer of Blackbird Raum called our act, Kidsploitation (that's in a good way). We also tried out our new Bubble Machine from Grumpa (the kids grandaddy). It totally kept chugging through out the whole show and left a nice bubbly drool on the floor which Ava and I slipped on in our love bubblity focus. It was grand!
Lastly, a big up to Jane Chen, who joined us as a member of the Chocolate Chips. She kept the kids organized and whipped into love bubblily shape on stage, doing little miming games and dancing funness. Mind you she's a CLOWN. An extremely talented clown of the old skool/classical sense--not the party clown/slipknot variety. Think Fellini's "La Strada" or even Harpo Marx. She's also a trained actress and has a 2 woman show with her mother called, Chinese Clown Cabaret. It received rave reviews and by the looks of the website and all the videos I've seen about it, the show seems fantastic. Check it out...its a definite MUST on my list.
One PS for Black Sparrow Press, who we didn't catch. The kids were way too sleepy and starting to fade in the Blackbird Raum melee. It was time to get these kids to bed! But my apologies for missing yallz show!
Thanks again to Elaine and for all those who came out! It was quite a lovely evening ;)
PICS COMING SOON! STAY TUNED
