Hey Benjamin, you are the power and presence of Love creating all of this. It's not real. It's completely made up. You are amazing for convincing yourself that any of this was real! Nice work. It's a very convincing illusion. I feel totally real.
Loved that soulful intrumental LU jam that kicked of last show. The Lu 4eva has something nu, and last time it was more than a few things. Excuse me while I check out ur delightful bookings. Thx 4 booking the double set! How divine it was to just hear Lu. I pray that someday later in 09 u may join forces with the divine Ms. Dyal's band. Buddha Steve wd. totally be down for it -- literally since he's relocating to SF. Their CD starts off a little hard edged, but the last 3 are as smooth as can be.
Wow! #1 Featured Video for Youtube India!! Big Ben, that's big! I didn't hear ye say it was number 1...but what else, but 2 1ness 4 Lu? Your luminous booking are awe-inspiring, as are ur Lu graphics, and ur bass adds such a great layer. I was in heaven being btwn you and Eric @ the Abbot Kinney Festival. BTW I too have booked a band -- The Siri Dyal Band @ the Troubadour and hope I can channel the light forces together somewhere in the universe some time while still in the linear world.

I was standing in the bathroom today thinking about a horrible flight I once took to Greece, and how I submitted a story about it to a friend's magazine. Well, he completely missed the humor in the story and never printed it. But I got to thinking how cool it would be if there was a magazine dedicated to strange trips and vacations. Then I thought, "Fuck it, make it part of H.A.N.K". So I did.
If any of you have a story about an odd trip or strange vacation that you'd like to share, please send it to alex@glubdub.com. This is gonna be pretty cool.
