Galapagos
And even though I am finding myself in this City of Kansas City at the moment staring at event newspapers named “The Pitch”, which looks like some reincarnation version of the New York Village Voice, and “Ink”, I still find myself wondering what is going on in the world of culture in that City of New York. And then there is that Nonsense NYC event email list that I receive every week from Jeff Stark that I have found myself subscribing to that seems to be all events all the time. And one of this weeks list of events that I received is Galapagos, who seems to be moving around from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to what now looks like Dumbo, Brooklyn in the seemingly never ending gentrification, real estate and housing crisis of what seems like the current state of New York City. And that email is as follows:
Welcome Wagon, Tuesday August 5th
At a time when many theaters and performance spaces in New York have closed, Robert Elmes, Galapagos’ Director, has managed to make his vision for a new and expanded Galapagos a reality. This kick off event provides a wonderful opportunity for artists and audiences alike to glimpse the possibilities this stunning venue provides. To christen this beautiful new venue independent producer and curator Earl Dax presents a marathon night of performance to benefit scene downtown. The evening is hosted by Broadway singer and MAC Award-winning comic Kim Cea and the legendary start of cult classic The Queen, Flawless Mother Sabrina. Confirmed performers include Tony Award-winner Stew; writer and cultural critic Cintra Wilson; caburlesque sensation Lady Rizo; Def Poetry Jam’s Hebrew Mamita Vanessa Hidary; Sultan of Swing Julian Fleischer; performance artist Erin Markey; boylesque wunderkind La John Joseph; composer and singer Nick Hallett; new music composer Ryan Tracy (Collective Opera Company); dance/theater artist Jack Ferver; performance artist and former Miss LEZ Glenn Marla; and the mind-blowing gogocuntrypunkmashupelectrohouse dance troupe Daisy Spurs. Aural delights courtesy of DJ Dirty Jean. Galapagos, 6 Main Street, Brooklyn. NOTE: Congrats Galapagos!
Have a great art, dance, theater, performance, music day.
Kansas City
And in continuation of my Kansas City Missouri blah blogs from that blog post a couple of posts ago.., I saw my first National Rifle Association sticker on a bus shuttle that was headed toward Kansas City, Missouri of all places, some place that seems to be somewhere between Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz and the wild, wild west to me. And that sticker was a red, white and blue eagle with guns and rifles and gold trimming on its circle rim on someones luggage. And what does this mean? And I could repost the same blog entry over and over in my appeal to end gun violence, to banish guns from the face of planet earth and from every human being on the face of planet earth, and from every form of advertising and marketing campaign, toys and video games. Is not society influenced by advertising? Guns are the worst invention ever. And it seems that crime is so rampant in this town of Kansas City that people are taking air conditioners, and stripping light poles to sell copper from these objects for money. And there are what seems like Wonderbread bakery outlets on every other block in this town, some sort of wonderbread nation. And the weakening economy of the George Orwellian never ending war for oil seems to appear more pronounced in this part of town as more and more people take the buses for transportation instead of driving ones car as the price of a barrel of oil and gasoline seems to go through the roof. And there are signs on the side of the roads and highways that advertise gun shows and expos at convention centers. And there are stores on the side of the roads that sell martial arts supplies, pepper spray and stun guns. And if only that fourth or is it fifth amendment can be changed to say the right to bear sticks and stones to protect ones property, instead of the right to bear arms, as if property is worth more than people. And is another world possible. Is it possible to have a world free of guns, gun violence and fear. No one is free when others are oppressed. And what would happen if nobody died or lost their life to gun violence tomorrow, would the death industry be out of a job. And it is an industry that feeds upon itself. And then there is that drug crack that has been invented and has changed the world and has infiltrated and destroyed the worlds inner city ghettos in the past two decades, seemingly forevermore. And what is that Cointelpro thing all about, that could be a whole another blog posting. And what is that beast machine in Europe, and that Carnivore intelligence program for surveillance thing in America all about. Does that Internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for this? And this all seems to be the mark of some beast to me, the beginning of the end of the last days of the world and society, its morals, values and its decline. And it is Kali Yuga, the Iron Age, the age of vice, the deceiver descending. And what about that 2012 thing. And is there hope for the world that seems to be spinning out of control in these days and times. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
Eyeglasses
Hey Bloggers, and this posting is about eyeglasses , eyeglasses and more eyeglasses. And I have heard of those things. And in case you have not heard of eyeglasses, those are those things that one usually see someone wearing on their eyes to see better. And I usually see people wearing them around just about everywhere I go these days in my travels. And then there is Zenni Optical, and you might have heard about Zenni Optical as they have been on the radio and Fox News TV. And the popular talk radio host of the nationally syndicated consumer advocate program, The Clark Howard Show, even recommended them. And what’s interesting about Zenni Optical is that you can find stylish prescription glasses online at their website starting at $8. And that sounds like a really low price to me compared to some of the more costly prescription eyeglasses I have seen around town. And what also sounds great is that you can order your eyeglasses online without ever having to leave home and run around town to lots of different stores. And with Zenni Optical you can find great eyeglasses for less. Their website offers many different styles of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens, hard coated lenses, rimless, stainless steel, progressive lenses, anti scratch coating, UV protection and more. You can see photos of some of their more popular eyeglasses models at their website and find high quality eyeglasses. With Zenni Optical, finding eyeglasses online at great low prices has never been easier.
The Internet
And after having the past few days of enduring one of those seemingly endless internet blogaholicness withdrawals of some sort of not being able to find one of those computers to maintain my blogaholicness in my travelling travails, I now find my self locating one. And is this one of those 50 Signs You’re A Blogaholic. And just about ever internet withdrawal symptom may have passed through my mind in these days. And I never thought I would be so happy to see one of those Time Warner Cable guys show up at the door as if they could be some sort of doctor coming to save the day. And then there were thoughts of the local library, which does not seem to be so local in this town, and then the nearest McDonald’s for free wireless which does not seem to be so near, or even trying to roam about town walking for miles and miles and miles and miles until one could just find that computer. And then the cable guy shows up and saves the day so to say. And in other thoughts as I find myself here in this town of Kansas City is it seems a whole another world from that City of New York that I am used to finding myself dwelling in. And this inner city of Kansas City seems as if it could be the wild wild west with the news of crime running rampant, and stories of crime on the news that only seems to be devoted to crime more atrocitic than the next and too many to fast to keep track of, a beast that seems to feed upon itself. And there is an article on the cover of the most recent issue of The Kansas City Call that reads “Gun Violence Needs To Be Addressed”, with a photo of yellow police tape that reads “do not enter crime scene” with a photo of a smoking gun with a big red x over it. And the message is clear, if only guns can be abolosihed from every human being on the face of planet earth. Guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. Is another world possible, and what does this have to do with a No Police State?
Gone Fishing
And I am gone fishing, or at least going fishing on a mission to that place in America called Kansas City, Missouri in middle america where seemingly lots of american flags are waved. And from what I hear, that inner City of Kansas City Missouri and Kansas is still reeling in the midst of a crack epidemic, and crime and gun violence are running rampant. And who invented that drug crack anyway, the State? And who is the state? And that drug crack and guns are the worst invention of a death industry ever, and it seems to be the Iron age and Kali Yuga and what seems like the beginning of the end of the world and the deterioration of humanity in these days and times. And there is a blight in this City I hear, so much that the only businesses open in the inner city are the churches and liquor stores. And schools are closing from segregation and desegregation as people move further and further out to the suburbs to avoid the inner city and its changing population and times. And has the face and population of the suburbs changed in time also? And I plan to be another one of those travelling travailling tourists again who attempt to blah blog their travelling travels I guess of whatever the tourists sites there are that that city has to offer. And from what I read, Kansas City Missouri is mostly known for Charlie Parker, that great jazz musician, and bar b que. And some tourists sites there to visit are places like Arthur Bryant BBQ, 18th and Vine, a historical jazz district which is located at the former railroad tracks and border of what was once the street where african americans could not travel past or move beyond in downtown Kansas City Missouri. And decades later, times seem to have changed indeed. And there is also the Negro Baseball Museum located there, The American Jazz Museum, The Black Archives of Mid America and a few other tourists sites I imagine. And I am not sure how my blogahohlicness and trying to find one of those computers to blog my blogaholicness may hold up during these times. And however these days and times may go have a great travelling and blogging day.
An Alzheimer’s Walk
And I have heard of Alzheimer’s before, as I think it is a disease that afflicts humanity, particularly older people who may sometimes lose their memory amongst other things. And there will be an Alzheimer’s Memory Walk for those who wish to sign up to walk for a cause. By walking with the Alzheimer’s Association, you can walk with a purpose and help them toward a world without Alzheimer’s. There will be walks in more than 600 communities, and there should be a community walk near you. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall. There is also a need for team captains who would like to participate in this event. And by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk you can help to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research and you can join over 200,000 people walking to end Alzheimer’s. They are on the move to end Alzheimer’s. This walk is the nations largest walk for Alzheimer’s and this can be one of many great ways to help save humanity and planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. 
The Enemy
And for what reason when I read a magazine or watch a television commercial are mostly all of the advertisements for cars and the automobile industry. Is it historical that the world has been chocked with the selling of automobiles with the result being the oil crisis, global warming, climate change and a never ending ending George Orwellian 1984 war. And in other thoughts, there are so many people losing their lives to gun violence yesterday, today and so the story will be told again tomorrow that I can not keep track of the fastly changing headlines and have almost seemingly become desensitized to gun violence in the news, an industry that seems to feed on crime and violence. And for what reason when I read the Daily Newspaper are mostly all of the content related to crime and violence, as if it is the if it bleeds it leads thing. And should this paper be renamed “The Sensational Daily Crime Blotter Newspaper”. And what if nobody dies today, would most of the media industry be out of a job? And guns are the worst invention of an industry every. I can not post over and over enough in my appeal to end gun violence, to banish guns from every human being on the face of planet earth, and to ban the images of guns from every form of advertising, marketing and from video games and toys. And to rewrite that constitution to say the right to bear sticks and stones instead of the right to bear arms, as if human life has become disposable and property is worth more than people. Is this all that Kali Yuga and the age of Iron, the deterioration of humanity, society and its morals and values. Is another world possible. No one is free when others are oppressed. And in other thoughts, I have been thinking about that word enemy lately. What does that word mean, does that Internet Bible Wikipedia have an entry for that. And who or what is the enemy and for what reason. And I have heard it said that with friends like these, one does not need enemies. And there are many other sayings about that word, love thine enemies as one would love their self or something like that. And for what reason is humanity at odds with each other, for what reason is man against man, brother against brother and kingdom against kingdom, and a mans enemies those of his own household. And what would the world be like without an enemy. And what does this have, if anything, to do with a No Police State. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
Eighteen Forever
And I am not exactly sure how vain I could be or if I could be one of those people who would want to be eighteen forever and never age or show any signs of age. And yet in this youth obsessed culture of our times, or at least that entertainment culture of some sorts here in this City of New York, looks can be everything. or looks are everything when it comes to casting for the entertainment industry maybe, or maybe even when it comes to daily life. And it seems as if every time I take one of those walks around the streets of this town of New York, that I can see people doing different things to battle the signs of that process called aging. And maybe one is not vain at all and just goes with the natural aging process of life. And there must be lots of sayings more about that word vanity. And yet there are a ton of products out there on the market to suffice ones vanity needs, maybe. And one of these products is an anti wrinkle cream called Replexion. And Replexion helps to reduce one of the most visible signs of aging, wrinkles. And there must be a lot of different reasons why one may find themselves with these things called wrinkles such as stress of some sort, environmental pollution, the air. maybe even light, smoking, UV damage, lack of moisture, even facial expressions like squinting, and if only one could control that squinting somehow. And then there is that plain simple thing called aging that can cause wrinkles. And short of living ones life in complete darkness or ones of those oxygen chambers or some other miracle cure of some sort, Replexion is a product that uses peptide and other technology to smooth away fine lines and helps to take those wrinkles away. Replexion includes moisturizers and botanicals including shea butter, aloe, algae extract, coneflower extract, cocoa butter, and mango butter and other ingredients. And if you would like to smooth away those facial wrinkles and fine lines, or get rid of crows feet, or those sun spots and dark circles under your eyes, Replexion can be magic in a bottle and they are there for you. With their skin care products you can start looking younger in weeks. How beautiful.
Zebulon

And it is a pink flyer with their monthly July schedule with artists and musicians like Pogo in Togo, Noveller, Willy Wierd and Sister Resistor, Andy Friedman and The Other Failures, The Defibulators,Kaoru Watanabe, Tatsuya Nakatani,Kakande ,Famoro Dioubate and Friends, Guinee brooklyn, Kaneng Lolang Zozo Afro Beat,Moisturizer, Burnt Sugar,Lucibel Crater, twi the humble feather plus Benjamin wetherill,Ryan Sawyer,Susan Alcorn, Patrick Holmes,Sharon Van Etten plus Boutros Effendi, Drew Victor, Rock Banned, Nick Panken, and the Tougarake,The Waaw Band, the Dutch East India Company, Mamma Macabre, Die Haifische,Taylor Ho Bynum, Abraham Gomez Delgado project, Michael Attias, Megachurch, Melanie Moser and the eleventh hour band, Stagger Back Brass Band, Accordion Death Squad,Ivana XL , Airwaves , Luke Temple , Lizzy Grant, Cleve Pozar, Cooper Moore, Darius Jones, The SuperPowers brooklyn, Effi Briest,Marques Tolliver and the Sometimes, Anna K Jarosz,Paraguaylofi,Moonengineer,Glasser plus Shock Cinema,Baye Kouyate , Eli, Samba and Friends presents Mighty AfroAmerico Percussion,Meta and the Cornerstones,Unicornicopia Natalie Weiss plus Skeleton,Taylor Ho Bynum, Abraham Gomez, project in sounds,Polka Madre, Nicky,Jess, Tyler , Jordi and friends, DJ Jaiko Suzuki, Dub Is A Weapon,Casperous Vine,Spanish Prisoners, miles benjamin anthony robinson, Rasp Thorne Presents, Stuart Bogie and Friends, Super Human Happiness, Clinton Van Gemert,Container plus Sonido Chongo Bicycleta, Paris Suit Yourself Holly Miranda and more in Brooklyn.
And how exactly this pink flyer wound up on my friends table, I am not exactly sure as maybe they went to that club and bar at some point and got it there, as I have also found myself there every once in a blue moon as one of those New York City dwellers looking for entertainment nightlife, jazz and other music. And Kenny and that group “The Himalayas” played there at some point in time also, with their orchestra and horns that’s a great marching sound indeed. And so I found myself visiting Zebulon’s MySpace page that is listed on this flyer also, and that page rocks. And if you are not exactly who, what or where a Zebulon is, at least the name sounds interesting, almost like that other really cool club Nublu in the East Village of New York. And what’s a Zebulon anyway, does that word mean or translate into something else in another language. And does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that. And Zebulon is this really cool happening place in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn and they are all music all the time. Have a great music day.
