be the light that you wish to see

i am writing this entry, not for paul, but rather bc i care about this (e:strip) project

for years we've thought about putting an ad in national publications:

call to activists, artists, and people willing to create:come to buffalo!

buffalo is the best and biggest secret on the earth-- a city with a small town feeling-- with a great community, great arts, and great architecture where the rent is cheap. this rust belt city is for the taking, but we need community-minded and motivated souls to make it a better place.

that's really what we need in this city. that's what we really need for this city. it obviously hasn't got us anywhere going through the usual methods.

it starts here

i've met more and more people who are interested in urban planning, smart growth, community-based initiatives, regional development. its wonderful to see that energy, and its so so important given the context of our world developing on a global scale where regionalism and community based thinking is not part of the equation. i'm wary of thinking that there is any one or two solutions that would work, but lets at least encourage going in that direction where people are thinking and doing and building our own communities. that power is in each of us, and sometimes you just have to do it yourself to make things happen.

this city is ours for the taking.

i for one, am not going to sit idly.

now my heart is full

after some very intense moments not enjoying the atmosphere but enjoying an overwhelmingly intimate play at rust belt books, i wandered over to the drama section on the off chance that i'd find what i was looking for and lo and behold there it was, a one volume hard cover copy of angels in america, a gay fantasia on national themes, in all its glory for half the price that id have expected it to be. i only regret that i made megan late and that i was the only one representing the house and that sometimes you never know what to say to people that you really like and care about.
