Thee Lobster Girl's Interests
General
Constant motion. Nomadic culture, ancestral knowledge, bards and storytellers. Climbing: watertowers trees fences cliffs city rooftops mountains moving trains and that church at 14th and mission in san francisco where you can sit like a gargoyle up in the window. Desert arroyos and oases, being awake till sunrise, lizards, poisonous critters, cacti and succulents, hot hot moist heat and swimming in freshwater, caverns and holes in the wall, old growth forests, pitch black night and countless stars, carnivorous plants, magical plants, gnarly gardens, nightmares, amoebas, nematoads, mycelium, broken windows, inhospitable climes, thunderstorms, blizzards, pounding rain and hail, eccentric stone architecture, industrial wastelands, freight trains, unstable structures, being tossed around in hurricane oceans and sleeping amongst the dunes, horseshoe crabs, river rafting: hard water or soft, whirlpools, the everglades, orchids, strange birds, the gila mountains, mullien as toilet paper, joshua tree region, burma, new guinea, and morocco (not yet been there) ocean faring (not yet done it) and many other things i have yet to discover.....

Hey good seeing ya at the Boiler Room. I had to leave during intermission, but an excellent show nonetheless.
I bought one of your photo cards at the merch table..I wished you could have written something (or drawn a little picture) on it....maybe next time, eh?
the cuyahoga river told me to tell you that you are not as far away from the land as you might think despite the obvious time and distance in terms of this rhelm. you often communicate with the gods and the ancestors in Ohio lands and I can feel your heart as it swells and deflates with the twists and turns on our paths. please know that I am always with you - despite the obvious time and distance. love love love you. infinitely.
I remember being a little kid who was sure he was the next Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic park. I was walking down the beach in florida and found a horseshoe crab and was completely convinced I had found a live trilobite and that the scientific community was finally going to listen to me. Remember i was probably 6, before i had gone to the Shell Factory that sold hundreds of freeze dried horseshoe crabs. Now every-time i see them i think of the dead crusty ones they sell at tourist traps.
