Michael Franti @ Orange Peel

Michael Franti and Spearhead really showed some serious class when they performed a free show in the parking lot of the Orange Peel just hours before their sold out show tonight. Michael simply posted on his facebook page that he would be doing an acoustic set, but when the time came and hundreds of fans showed up, the full band was there and everyone was plugged-in. Several kids were sitting in front of the stage and everyone hand their hands in the air. I love you! I love you! I loooove you!

Springtime Reptiles

This little guy was ready to pose. He actually came at my camera a couple of times but he was way to fast and I was too jumpy to get a clean shot.

Barnyard Guitars - Wabi Sabi Artist Rusty Douglas

Wabi-sabi is an ancient Asian art form/philosophy which advocates a naturally occuring, organically arising process i.e. one that evolves over time, as compared to a pre-fab, uniform, synthetic, commercial condition. Wabi-sabi philosophy states that all things arise from nothingness and return to nothingness, via wear, decay, use, etc. wabi-sabi clothing, for instance would be soft, faded, and comfortable as compared to stiff, synthetic and uncomfortable. Things wabi-sabi tend to be asymetrical, irregular and varigated therefore more readily blending with the natural order of things. Commercially mass produced, identical products are the anti-thesis of the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Things wabi-sabi tend to embody strong individual characteristics and attributes.
