Yesterday I started to think about the sort of show, music and oddity I’d like to do with my first true circus show. One completely created by myself with my ideas and outlines.

Since I’m such a Lovecraft fanatic why not use that for the basic idea? Since I’m also a huge fan of ambient, minimal and noise I can slowly build it up throughout the show until at the end the people in the crowd can dance as I switch from my music to DJing other music.

I was talking to Nelly yesterday and she gave me the final idea. I still have that unfinished lsd song that I screwed around with. As the performance goes on it can be inferred that this is really a Lovecraftian acid trip gone very bad. You can watch as the main “character” goes from the start of hell to the point that they understand that nothing is really real and need to start enjoying themselves.

So far it’s just in the basics stage and I really need to start writing the full ideas out along with a time line to see how much music I need to write and the sort of weird shit the performers can do along with it. I also need to reread a bunch of Lovecraft to brush up on the whole mythos and the sensations I wish convey.

I’ve been here for a few days now. The holiday is finally over so now I can take care of everything that really needs to be taken care of. Everything being closed yesterday was a huge pain in the ass but at least the fruit stands were open and I got two pounds of awesome nectarines for 99 cents.

Once 9am hits everything I need to be open will be. Post office, bank, hard ware store and I’m sure there will be more to do.

Living back in the barrio is great. This is definitely a poorer working class hood. Everyone I’ve run into has been very nice and friendly. There’s a very odd thing about here. You can walk down a block and see some really well taken care of properties then just an abandoned one that is falling apart in the middle of where you wouldn’t think to see it.

Just like my move to San Francisco pretty much started in a warehouse and living with a clown the same situation is happening here. My new spot is a warehouse space but so much nicer than 212 Clara. I’m also living with the same clown. Everything in the place is slowly coming together and I’m sure in a few months this will be a very sweet spot to live inside.
