WINNER OF THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST!

the recurring thing, sometimes a dream, shows So Cal’s fruits like fairy lights ted’s dreambody spools low over, and platoons of plucking mexicans planted in fudge-rich irrigated earth like fragile gold forms, in molds, like complex football-field-sized pendants, water stolen from the north and sold above worth to the children of the water’s thieves as juice. these

dreams increase as years here reproduce to root-split beds of German stone, his headlong dreambody nostalgia-blown through

mooncanyons overgrown with coyotes the color of playwright’s beard and carpeted in dawn’s blue loam, torched brush and shrivelled riverbed trojanfish amidst wetback-bones blonde headphoned paralegals learning mexican carefully hike over: la rabia, el deseo, el miedo, el desamparo.

born in ’68, adopted a year later and raised on the old pacific highway road in a stucco bungalow a young joni mitchell once considered buying on the cusp of fame, ted came to view all pool-blue skies, heaven weather and mel tormé records with an orphan’s lupine eye, growing into his resentments with a muscly black-haired thrust his legal mother cried out for years in the pain she’d thought to elude through adoption: la rabia, el deseo, el miedo, el desamparo.

even asleep with dante in bed ted considers his options, the recurring thing will continue without him:

la rabia, el deseo, el miedo, el desamparo.

Pretty cool idea!

Reading of a new Play THE HARVEST CHAMBER Welcome to GensInc, an online police state 100 years in the future. GI5949 and GI3317 have relatively calm lives with cyber-jobs, cyber-partners and cyber-hobbies. One day, they receive a task: They must meet in the flesh and develop an intimate relationship.

No compassion. No desire. Only a book. How strong is fear propaganda?

Readers: Mala Ghedia and Cornell Adams Writer/Director: Ashley Brandt Produced by: 3 of Cups Productions Friday 2 November 9pm Dinner and Film around 11pm The Gangs All Here (1943) Busby Berkeley OK Folks this is film is about as close to drugs as you will ever get on the big screen, Back when war was good and everyone supported the troops away from home. Carmen Miranda (with her high hills filled with cocaine so not to get caught by the studio) sings and dances in the biggest hat ever in glorious Technicolor. Don't worry if you don't get the story there is none. "Don't be a square from Delaware" Hair (1979) Milos Forman Back when war was bad and everyone knew it. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. This time no one had to hide the cocaine on the set.

Baby Doll (1956) Elia Kazan Screenplay by Tennessee Williams. Condemned by the Catholic church Legion of Decency.

Here is a review from Zestygirl on IMDb The crumbling ruins of a deep south plantation, circa 1956. Karl Malden running through empty rooms, yelling "BayBee DOLLLLL!" The dementia-ridden elderly aunt forgetting to turn on the stove before cooking the greens. The old guys lounging around the yard, laughing and watching Malden's frenzied activities like it's must-see TV. Kooky gorgeous Baby Doll sucking her thumb, sleeping in her crib. And Eli Wallach: ah, what a specimen. He's intense, he's irresistible. He's relentlessly "handsy" like a high school boy on a date; he never, ever, for a moment, lets up. It's impossible to take your eyes off of him. This movie is perplexing and wonderful, it really is more of a place and an atmosphere than a story. Twisted, and in a good way. The characters are as wild and inexplicable as any you've seen in a David Lynch movie. Your jaw will drop, you'll laugh out loud, and the whole weird place just gets better each time you watch it.
