Windows at Supperclub tomorrow (Friday 7/24)

pk. — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:38:00 +0000

So I’m at home pondering this… (in a very “chill” state due to Deckard’s mix, see below) Am I over-using Space Cowboy channels to aid in the creation of the Temple of Flux? Hmmm…. I’m just kidding, you really think I ponder such things? Yes, those of you who no me, know I take such things seriously (perhaps too seriously) but surely I don’t ponder them, the answers to such things are self-evident (such as the supremacy of Arinell’s pizza in this foggy excuse for summer-in-the-city). Anyway, so I’m doing this little sculpture project with a few friends for this little arts festival in some dusty town in northern Nevada, and we need to raise a lot of money to get it done, like $50k a lot. The big problem is that we’re going to burn this sculpture on Sept. 5th as a giant piece of performance art, and therefor can’t sell the sculpture. It’s all about somehow relating that change is a natural part of our lives, both when confronting life and death, as well as understanding our relationship to the environments that surround us, both built and “natural”. See it’s all about perception and framing how you see the world. Kind of like when you look through a window and only see a bit of the world around you. You get this, windows are an easy way to see the artificial frames that we construct to shape our views, and I mean that in a deep, very deep, I mean you are getting sleepy deep, metaphysical way. So the city is a construct of our continual framing of the real (its all really just a bunch of surfaces with windows right?), in both literal and philosophical ways. Depending on how you frame things, there is either joy or pain; it just matters how you build the window.

I can go on…. but you rather just come down to Supperclub SF tomorrow (Friday 7/24) to WINDOWS: joys and panes of a metropolis. It should change how you see things…

PANTHEON: this Friday at 103 Harriet

pk. — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:17:00 +0000

Join the Space Cowboys as we support the construction of this year’s Burning Man Temple. Designed and led by one of our very own Cowfolk (PK together with Rbca Anders & Jess Hobbs), the Temple of Flux is a product of many people from the sound-camps you know and love, so it’s only natural that they get together to through a party of eh “historic proportions”....

So Tie on those togas, toss on the leafy crowns, strap on the sandals and let’s show the Romans how it’s really done! We’re gonna get down to a clash of the titans, raising funds to help build the Burning Man Temple 2010.

TOO COOL FOR pre SCHOOL

pk. — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:25:00 +0000

A good friend to the Cowboys (and our go to guy when the Cowboy’s need some amazing lighting) is throwing a benefit for his kid’s coop pre-school. And yes, like a good neighbour the Space Cowboys are there:

Friday, June 18th – TOO COOL FOR pre SCHOOL

A benefit for Silverspot Cooperative Nursery School

Come out and play! From monkey bars to SOM BAR. Bring out your inner pre-schooler – but leave the tantrums at home – slide, skip, jump, glide and bump to the funky beats of the Space Cowboys DJ’s and special Guests.

We got games, raffle drawing, and a special appearance by The Reality Thief: Brad Barton. There’s nothing like a little magic to make you reconnect with your inner child.
Raffle drawing at midnight: Grand Prize – iPad!
Want to feel like a toddler who doesn’t have a care in the world? Then play dress-up like one: Doctor, dinosaur, robot, batman, yoda, pirate, princess or ladybug – make it up people!

On behalf of the Space Cowboys and the Temple of Flux crew, I’d like to give everyone who came out on Saturday a very big thank you. It was a great start to the Temple’s big fund-raising campaign! You all put the FUN back in fundraiser. They’ll be doing a lot of fun events this summer in order to raise the very large sum of money it takes to build a Temple out in the desert (Burning Man only contributes less than half of what it normally costs) so stay tuned…. Though how do you beat a bucking bull, two pinatas, and 780 mustaches? Hell if anyone has an idea, please let me know! Oh, and big thanks to the House of Lotus and Temple volunteers for helping the Cowboys out!

Of course somehow people always loose things at such great events. True, many people lost their minds, and some lost their shirts at the bar; but even more lost their jackets and sweatshirts. If you lost your jacket or sweatshirt and/or found a blue and grey messenger bag, please send a note to pk@spacecowboys.org. If you lost your mind or your shirt, see a professional.

Thanks again…
