When I first moved back to Kuching, I was frustrated by the tourism board’s (and pretty much everyone else’s) insistence to portray this place as all about jungles and loincloths. It’s not. Until I met the organisers of the What About Kuching festival. Proud to say I’ve been part of the organising committee and management of this month-long, community driven Kuching festival since 2017.

I had some of the best times at Greenbelt in the mid 80s.

It’s comforting to know it’s still there doing what it does…

https://centralbylines.co.uk/greenbelt-at-50-a-festival-like-no-other/

#Greenbelt #Festivals

A mid-80s gribbles. 

Stood at (I think) a hotdog stand, looking over to the camera, grinning. 

Bedecked in brown/black flowery shirt (which I still have though there’s NO WAY it’d fit me now), over a bkack t-shirt, a worn leather biker jacket painted with punk bank logos and a kind of Davy Jones locomotive cap, black and worn backwards.  

I thought I looked the bees knees.

So you’re awake, you’re sentient, you live in the UK & you think you’re pretty cool but you STILL haven’t bought your ticket for The Sound of Yeovil? I honestly don’t know what to do with you… https://wyrdfest.co.uk #experimentalmusic #festivals #catherinedeneuve (who very possibly won’t actually be there) #music #WestCountry #Glastonbury

A nonplussed Catherine Deneuve, in her mid 20s I think, with long blonde hair, is staring at you, wondering how you could have something better to do than come to an amazing experimental music festival in a small market town in the beautiful Somerset countryside. She REALLY hopes you have a sure thing lined-up or that it’s date night & the kids are out of town… anything less & Catherine’s face is telling you that your choices are bad.

Fyre Festival was such an unmitigated disaster that it's now shorthand for a blatant grift. So it's somewhat of a surprise that its founder, convicted con artist Billy McFarland, has started selling tickets for Fyre Festival II, with prices ranging from $499 to $7,999. It's due to take place on an unspecified Caribbean island, on an unspecified date. Here's what else we know.

IOWA STATE FAIR LONG SHADOWS
The Iowa State Fair attracts over 100,000 people daily from around the world. Long shadows emphasize the evening crowd walking on Grand Avenue toward the grandstand, food vendors, midway rides and many displays of talent, produce and products. #BuyIntoArt, #Mastoart @AppArtist #Festivals #People #Outdoors #Sunset #GalleryDesMoines

A crowd of people are walking toward the evening sun on a wide, paved street at a state fair. Tall, foxtail prairie grass forms the left picture border. Near the center, one woman sits on a bench near another grass arrangement in the middle of the avenue. An older man in a wheelchair is assisted by a younger woman as they stroll toward the western sun and away from the camera. On the right is a row of buildings with flags ending with the grandstand under the bright sun in a blue sky with wispy white and pink clouds. In the foreground long shadows paint the pavement in shades of blue-gray and red.

Plus the incredibly lazy device of slapping a visual next to the product - in this case, of a Goddess next to the vehicle; in case of the Independence Day, it is a visual of the Indian flag next to any and everything 🤦

ICYMI: Games for Change earlier this year published a case study after presenting 20+ in person screenings of the VR project On the Morning You Wake (to the End of the World) in different locations around the world.

Not only will you find the results of their impact and engagement research, but there's also a pretty thorough set of best practices for VR Activations with lots of practical advice on how to show a VR project in public in multiple contexts (museums, film festivals, private events, etc.) with photos, diagrams, excerpts from scripts, and more.

Growing up Russell Wallace lived in the Mt. Pleasant area of Vancouver’s Eastside.

He was the youngest of Flora and Ray Wallace’s 11 children. That home overflowed with singing, with his mom Flora teaching her children Salish songs and stressing the importance of preserving them.

Now Russell is passing along those teachings in workshops at the CREATE! Arts Festival in Vancouver on July 22.

#Drugs #harmreduction testing has been stopped at UK #festivals this year due to changing enforcement of Home Office rules, and The Loop (an otherwise very good organisation) have been prevented from commenting to the #BBC about what is going on..

I suspect the govt actively *wants* a greater bodycount, that they can then use to justify #prohibition (and maybe closing down the remaining festivals as a "public health risk")

This appears to be the consequences of making #festivals more and more car-dependent, only promoting/licensing large events rather than multiple smaller ones across the country which would spread out the traffic more; and likely made worse by greater security searches of vehicles and people, further delaying entry into the festival site...

You're #desperate for #gigs and #festivals when you realise this is actually a combine harvester:

I can't believe that Last.fm's events still don't have proper festival support.

Like, it's not possible to say Artist X is playing on Day 1, and Artist Y is playing Day 2 - and that I'm only going to Day 2 of the festival.

The probably introduced festival support in about 2007 by enabling a start AND end date. But it hasn't changed since.

I'm EXTREMELY into #music. I see a lot of #LiveMusic. I used to work as a Music Manager, managing #rock bands, arranging #gigs and #festivals and production. I also have a deep love of #ElectronicMusic.... Pretty much all music really.

Recent gigs I've enjoyed - #Bicep, #FooFighters, #PearlJam, #RedHotChiliPeppers, #Thundercat, #Stereophonics, #YeahYeahYeahs, #frankcarterandtherattlesnakes & more.

I love discovering #newmusic and listen to #BBC6Music daily - particularly #MaryAnneHobbs.

Het is heel goed mogelijk dat Parkpop ophoudt te bestaan. Het wordt steeds moeilijker om een gratis festival te organiseren, zo blijkt.
Afgelopen jaar was de eerste editie van Parkpop op het Malieveld (in plaat van - je weet wel - in het Park), en het was allemaal erg goed georganiseerd. Sfeer was goed, acts waren leuk, publiek was heerlijk divers.
Het zou een groot gemis zijn, als dit de laatste Parkpop geweest was. 😞 #ParkPop #Festivals

Reposting my (long) #introduction since I’ve migrated to a new instance.

My career at BJC HealthCare / BJH included #antimicrobialstewardship; #infectiousdiseases #pharmacotherapy; #vaccines; #medicationsafety; #patientcare; #teaching; research; lots of administrative stuff.

Former editor BJH Tool Book on the #Dorsata platform.

Still doing human research review with the #IRB and #genetherapy studies review with the #IBC at #WUSM.

In addition to science, I believe in democracy, the important role of journalism, and a round Earth.

#LanguageLearning

My language learning journey started in jr. high school with #Esperanto, attempting to self-learn it from a public library book and short-wave radio. My #Russian and #Spanish are passable. My #French and #Italian are fading. Still a beginner at #Japanese. #Kanji is a slow death for me, but #bushido / budo and #Zen culture keeps me engaged. Putin’s war crimes convinced me to start learning #Ukrainian.

Russian sparked my interest in #ColdWar history and to volunteer for the St. Louis-Samara #SisterCities Committee, for which I’ve hosted Russian medical and cultural delegates in my home.

#Travel

In 2010, my language and Cold War interests combined with my hospital’s changing ETO retention policy got me to travel more internationally. In 2015, I completed my original travel goal of going to the last 5 Communist countries. In order of visit: #China, #NorthKorea, #Vietnam, #Laos, #Cuba.

My country count so far is only 33. Hoping to grow that during retirement. My 3 most remote places: Pyongyang and the DMZ, #DPRK; the Eastern Highlands of #PapuaNewGuinea; and Bayan-Ulgii, #Mongolia. Still need to visit 2 more continents - Antarctica and Africa. I’ve been to 42 US states, including AK and HI.

#Photography

I became a photographer early in my travels. My kit is a #Canon 5DM3, EF 16-35 mm; f2.8, and EF 70-200 mm f2.8 and #iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Currently, drawn to international #festivals. I’ve hauled my heavy glass to photograph the #Goroka Sing Sing (PNG); Kazakh golden eagle hunters (Mongolia), Aboriginal singers at the #DesertMob Festival (Alice Springs, #Australia) and Yabusame / mounted archers (Nikko, #Japan).

If you got this far, thanks for reading all of this. Here to learn, be social and feed my wide variety of interests.

This #Kazakh #eagle hunter surprised the hell out of me by standing next to me as I photographed the competitors at the 20th anniversary of the Golden Eagle Festival. Taken at the base of the Altai Mountains, just outside Bayan-Ulgii, Mongolia, about 100 miles/160 km from the nearly intersecting borders of Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China. October 8, 2019

Doing an #introduction is hard. I tend to hide, watch & listen. Do I want to out my interests, who I am? Ok, how about, in random order: #climate & social justice, #degrowth, #writing, #overland travel, #offgrid living, long #walks, #festivals, #coops, #death, #grief, #naturalburial, #assisteddying ... Or without the hashtags: I live nomadically, dabble in writing, organise a solar powered festival, walk a lot, want to overthrow capitalism, & my partner died. Is that too much information?

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to do an #introduction post.
I'm an American living in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, #translating stuff and #writing other stuff. I talk about #nihonshu a lot. I like taking pictures of stuff I see on my walks as well as my felines of unusual size.
I try to stay positive.
Topics I may discuss:
#Japan #Culture #Sake #Shochu #Trains #Fiction #Mystery #Fantasy #ScienceFiction #Festivals #Travel #Food #Linguistics #Philosophy #Ceramics #Pottery
