393

393 Dances. Funny how I kind of want them to tick by, to reach a goal, and I kind of want them to slow down, so I never reach my goal.

This morning so many ideas flowed through me. Weird ideas. Like to make a tack that appears to be a rusty railroad tie. (So I could tack up posters with old railroad ties, that's why.)

But one idea took hold and that's this. May it be so, even if only in ones and zeros. (As Lucia said yesterday, there is only one thing you need to know. Zero plus one is one. Actually there's only two things you need to know. One minus one is zero.)

Have a silent disco style Sunday morning rave on the regular, hosted by Conduit. Maybe in Doughboy park. Maybe in Calvary Cemetery. Maybe in the perfect dance floor next to the unisphere in Flushing. That would be dope!

7-9pm on Sunday mornings. Or maybe it's not silent? Would it be better with a giant boombox? I could try it both ways.

First dance would be what I listened to this morning, Joel Davis' Afternoon Sound Alternative from January 12, 2017.

It was a religious experience. Thinking about Reza Aslan on Marc Maron this morning. And TJ Miller on Crashing, "being a comedian is like being a preacher, except you aren't lying."

Being a dancer is like being a comedian. But with even less lying.

After a couple of ecstatic hours of dancing there's a Heart of Glass that shattered my heart of glass, a remix by Crabtree. I've always loved that song, the mystery in the melody, and here it was stripped and given a string quartet arrangement. So beautiful & personal.

Joel is such a good dance host, the best really.

That's what I want to do every Sunday morning. Dance for a couple hours, with a couple hundred friends and strangers. Church of Dance.

Then after 3 months of build up I want to throw a party for Conduit, to get the word about them, help Joel launch in a big way. Maybe July 4 weekend. Fly out Joel. Give Conduit the shot in the arm it needs in return for the beauty Joel brought to your dance this morning (and many others too, just flip back through this blog.)

First step go to Flushing Meadows next Sunday and check out the scene. .
