On a totally unrelated note I am still disturbed by (e:churchofjulie) silencing herself. By not speaking out, you are giving in. Sorry, if other people feel different but I think you're kind of a sellout, not to mention you incriminate yourself so much more by acting suspicious and destroying what you wrote.



I mean, I would totally respect it if you said everything is too much, I'm quitting my journal or I just am not interested in being public anymore but erasing yourself is like going into hiding, and hiding isn't a cool place to be for someone like you who did nothing wrong. You have nothing to be afraid of!!

What if the government starts to harass and scare every innocent, yet outspoken American and we all just become silent and complacent. One who gives up their freedom for protection neither gains freedom nor protection. The thought of this whole thing is making me sick, it is setting such a bad precident for freedom of expression on the net.

(e:southernyankee) took this picture of us as at the junction of Franklin and Chippewa.

I just realized that a bunch of girls here are dressed in cosplay (short for costume play) style.



If you don't know about this japanese style craze go to the artvoice site

This cosplay thing is making network jumps. Think about it. If the people here are inspired by the artvoicce site, then they are beiong infleuenced purely through their network connections and the style is making network leaps from from little fashion vortex to another. I guess, if they found out about the costume play scene through artvoice, it would be appropriate to the artvoice festival.

I saw many of the epeeps today but where oh where is stickboy. (e:rachel) told me this great story about how she was home on the site, saw my post, IMed me and then we met here. See my previous post on live social networking [inlink]paul,951[/inlink]. This was epeeps.net style networking at its finest.



(e:southernyankee) confirmed my belief that the Artvoice festival is more commercial than last year.

Billy [inlink]stickboy,93[/inlink], I bet you think you are the first dog to write on the site. Amazingly, we have already had a dog journal for months, but he had recently retired his writing career. It was (e:mk) 's dog named Lucky, the journal was named Lucky too. Maybe I should bring it back from the archives for you.
