So between activism, NWEN, and qweries, I’ve been working hard but not killing myself — and still taking lots of time to have fun, hang out with friends, and get sleep. And the universe has been aligning. Life is good.
Life has continued to be good in my month-long road trip since DJ Anomaly’s last gig at the Atrium. First I spent three and a half days taking the train across the country, then a week in Folly Beach South Carolina with my Mom. Next it was out to LA with her and hanging out there with her, Greg, and her family for a week, and then driving up to Hollister for lunch with D’s family.
By the time we got to San Francisco last Friday, I was very ready to dance, and the fates obliged: Alchemy “pre-party” at Retox, the Nexus Fire Ball at Space 550, Death Guild at DNA.  Yay! It was a real flashback weekend, back to the days of 2003/2004 when rationality wasn’t looking so good and we spent a lot of time at Space 550 and DNA.
Alas, some aspects of rationality still aren’t looking so good: if it hadn’t been for Save the Rave’s activism, Friday and Saturday nights would have been illegal, and I would have had to go through a metal detector and ID scanner in order to go a goth club. And surprise surprise, the government lies: it seems like the PATRIOT Act will once again getting extended without a real debate. Sigh.
On the whole, though, I’m in a much better space these days — and looking forward to the future even more than I was back then.
After recovering for a few days and then making our way up from SF to Seattle, I’m once again very ready to dance … and once again the fates are obliging! DJ Anomaly’s kicking off another residency at the Atrium with “Beyond Rapture”. [Speaking of which, the world did not in fact end at 6 p.m. today. Whew.] Somewhat incredibly, we got a special sneak preview last night: DJ Anomaly texted D around dinner time saying she was thinking of heading up to Seattle from Portland, D offered her our spare bedroom in case she wanted a place to crash, and then next thing you know we were listening to new “anomalous tracks”. How cool is that?

Mostly though, I turned my mind off and enjoyed a relaxing weekend. What a great way to recover from the month. I heart psytrance.
