To Ye folkens del alpha y omega
hi guys I miss u
e festival was perfect as usual
Id hate to brag
but we are beautiful

here s some letters I found in the scram when I woke up from folk fest

letter to jedi master:

jedi master,

This message may sound confused and I apologize for such. But truly I just spent a most magnificant weekend at the festival and my kundalini has never ever been so happy go-lucky proud.

Sorry to gush, but now and here I must pay to you the utmost of acknowledgements for the trandscendental training you bestowed upon me during my most transformative years. Alchemaically, yourself and your retinue of outstanding players (our freinds and training partners) were the scourging fire to my burgeoning, base metal. 

Thanks.


may the force be with you

Letter to Titania

The Pleasure is all mine milady. and yers
Cheers to the Lady of the Lake and all her retinue
Everything worked out

The pyramid has a permanant home overlooking lake winnipeg, Im scheming to build another wider level maybe out of something that can grow. Building underground levels, winterizing, solar panels, hay bales, ground water heating, wind turbines, bat cave, dilithium crystal, gigantic portrait of the queen, alignment with the four directions, Louis Riel is buried underneath and his ressurection is due in 2012.

Which reminds me, I feel we should collaborate on an assingment for 2012 to celebrate the prophecy of King Louis:

my people will sleep for one hundred years, and when they awaken, it will be the Artists who give them their spirit back.

Im sure you ve heard some of the mumbo jumbo surrounding the date december 21 2012 circulating and gestating around the interdimensional interweb and elsewhere. All Poppycok Im sure you will agree. But why not capitalize on this tidal wave of attention with an intergalactic equinox party of truly 
chip and pepper magnitude right here in the centre of the world 
WINNIPEG MANITOBA CANADA.

Multi day, art expo, fashion show, craft sale, rock concert, rave party, red river rebellion, ballet, darts etc.

It seems early to begin preperation but my  beloved, I say nay, the time is exactly right. 
first 2 objectives: Very soon we need to have the location nailed down and a superslick call for submissions-invitation sent out to the fairierealm ambbasadors and beyond.

What do you and all those sacred earthen and aetherial spirits think about this idea?

My name is Andrew but my freinds call me nij and the gods call me the Smoky Tiger

return this message to my good astral messenger kitty yukdugu s neck in reply

I wish you and yers nothing but the sincerest of respect.

Letter from God:

Congrats on the prize! I'm hoping everything worked out. let me know if it got out ot you or what needs to be done to make it happen. We can talk more about your ideas of what you'd like to do to colaborate. I'm happy someone who can apprrciate our work now has a peice of it.

I Found this message scrawled in glowstick ink in the bathroom

Spectacularly bizarre as always.

G-d.

Pertaining to the Winnipegasus Solstice Party:

I can't participate in this the way it stands.

I feel uncomfortable with such heavy religious overtones/language.

I don't want to usher in the end of days with a self fulfilling prophecy, and if apocalypse does happen on a spiritual and/or global scale, a Riel inspired art expo, aimed at making money (for us, or anything other than MMF) is totally backwards.

I don't want to use the Riel quote about artists awakening the Metis people, that seems presumptuous (we being artists and all). We need to listen, not to lead.

I don't think ingesting chemicals leads to enlightenment. I don't condone the use of drugs.

Can we compromise maybe? If so...

First I would ask you delete the facebook description of the event until edited further, and that we come to a bit of a consensus what level of disclosure of beliefs we would like.

If not, I will be in attendance, but not participating beyond that.

Just so you know my stance up front.

Still love ya though!

This really paindrains me but I guess Ill have to fix all you re inaccuracies one at a time. In fact, this is a useful excercise because Im sure these types of misunderstandings are certain to arise and like a good politician I should be ready to answer to them without cluecards. Actually, forget what I said about paindrain. This is a pleasure.

1.The theme is loose and open. Because of the nature of the hype surrounding the event, religion cannot be excluded from one of the possible themes. The theme is where you can go to find inspiriation. If you are unfomfortable with one of the themes, dont pick that aspect of it. Pick Metamorphosis which I know all salamanders love.

2.Making money isnt a bad thing. Dave, if you dont want the money, Ill take it. But dave YOU DO WANT THE MONEY!!! Obviously, this is more than about making money and Ill be perfectly content to break even.

3.This is an art show celebrating art and artists. It just so happens that the founder of manitoba has a great quote directly related to us. I think we should use that quote. Louis Riel represents more than the Metis People.

4. Did I mention the use of drugs anywhere? DId I anywhere insinuate that this has anything to do with drugs?

5. This ball is rolling and there will be no backwards motion from here on in!

Just do it. (Nike)

1. not excluded, but balanced with other stuff is fine with me. As long as it doesn't turn into church (not that I have something against church, only that I know some people sort of do).

2. I do want to make money, but I feel weird talking about the Metis (the people who Riel means in the quote you selected) in the promotion of the event, and then taking the pay-dirt. You/we would have to address this somehow. Maybe a write-up about the reason you chose that quote, and/or proceeds going to MMF.

3. What else does Riel represent for example?

4. Oh my, no you didn't. Where did I get that idea from, sorry.

5. Well that's a metaphor about the ball rolling, but it speaks to a fundamental difference between how we do things perhaps. I think the ball should be allowed to roll backwards, or stand still even, if that's the best action or inaction. In other words I like to edit.

Anita...Nike commercial slogan?! Instead I'd prefer "think about it, imagine it, plan it, and if it's a good idea, and only then, do it". I mean I like spontaneity too, but...

EXCELLENT
All points are valid and amendments-additions to follow.
