yo, EE!!! too busy to miss anything, but still missing thEE throwdowns with y'all. i am busy with a million things, but most importantly, sitting with latter day sufis and making puppets with some young social justice workers in larache, poor forgotten coastal town where the US and Europe-forced kif eradication program has thrown 100K+ people into deeper destitution. unreal. it's not a DRUG it's a PLANT. duh. these young folx are awesome and are gonna be seeding the marching band/puppet meme through a triangulated moroccan/spanish/american connection. it's deep. street theater extraordinaire. and just two weeks ago, they had no idea how much power they had to make it all so real. beautiful. wish you were here. requests for moroccan goods?? send 'em. i head south in 2 weeks.

thought you might wanna know about this:
"The Buddha Bunny will be a 20 foot tall meditating rabbit, sitting in full-lotus position. Running up his body will be light sources corresponding to the chakras of the body. As the week evolves our rabbit will spiritually evolve, and a new chakra will light up each night of the week, until the final chakra is lit at which point The Buddha Bunny becomes “enlightened”. This “enlightenment” will literally set off a whole series of new lighting effects woven throughout The Buddha Bunny: the eyes will light up and change color, as well as his nose, teeth, whiskers, and more. The best part is all lighting effects can be controlled by the participants of the festival."
