SPLENDOR SOLSTICE
Today is the longest day of the year.
It is 10:29 PM as I type this, and the sunset’s last fingers are only now fading. I just got home from a tour around EARTH: The World Urban Festival.

It was pretty awesome to see, there were all kinds of tents and trailers and shipping crates and so on with weird little art projects inside. It being a big hippy fest, there was the obligatory (and awesome) anti-Bush agitprop, courtesy of the New Forms Media Society.
The Public Dreams folks burned a 14-foot demon effigy, in celebration of the solstice. I missed the start because I was too busy walking around looking at all the awesome happenings. I was on the wrong side of a barbed-wire fence when I finally noticed it.
Tomorrow (Thursday) I’m going to the Global Hiphop event, which starts at seven and promises to be quite dope.
