“good morning, nice to see you again”

VEMF TODAY
www.vemf.ca is finally here!
as you fall
is this
how
you were found
like a star
fallen
to the ground
as you fall
you make no sound
wish for a place you want to be
lying still, flowers all around
in my dreams
i see you
falling down
VEMF team gearing up for Saturday
this morning, myself and justin were on the A Channel (formerly the New VI, channel 12 locally) showing how we add, subtract, and manipulate electronic instruments live. afterwards, kenzie and miche showed how DJing works and bruce beil gave a speil on the whole Victoria Electronic Music Festival concept. lots of fun thanks to the coffee that we were on. i was up at 5:45 this morning to get everything in order.. also we were on CBC this morning at 8:15 AM on 90.5 FM with Jeff Weaver .. all the pieces are coming together for VEMF.. it is an exciting time for certain. lots to do yet — a 1.5 hour live performance for me and Justin / Formulate on Saturday night from 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM on the main stage in Centenial Square, and also some music making seminars that we are putting on in the daytime in the Music Production Booth with myself, Anand, Justin and possibly Charles.
can you see that?
they flicker like stars in the sky..
come to me
“come to me” a new choon by (sir) james “texas” holden .. really awesome. i am addicted to it. it’s really quirky and weird and not too unlike his unreleased britney spears remixes. for real.
busy next two weeks: finishing adriantaverner.ca (phase 1), interview with CBC for VEMF, TV show proposal, NewVI’s morning show next week for VEMF, VEMF itself, workshop coordination galore, finishing off tunes, getting a PFR banner done, working full time, and friends in from Toronto .. ironically the two i was going to visit this summer happen to be in victoria at the moment. how cool is that? uhhh huh!
for that TV show proposal i fleshed most of it out last night on paper while watching hotel rwanda. that movie is powerful. i was so sad last night after watching it and it made me question everything around me and whether or not i am actually helping people. well i am. but it’s so intangible in comparison to what i saw in that movie. it feels so sheltered here. i feel selfish being in this world as i am.
i am getting stuff done and moving forward in davinland.
so much. all at once.
