| Si Si is a witch of sorts, actually she's more of a grand prognosticator. She's spent most of her relatively short life hating something about her self to the point of indulging self destructive fantasies. She hates being half a head taller than the other girls, but she loves being able to buy liquor without being carded, she hates the unwarranted advances of older men and women, but loves her narrow waist and round hips, she loves her soft wooden flute smoky low toned voice, but hates her prematurely graying hair, she hates being smarter than most of her peers, she loves her family, especially their cooking, but hates being a multi-ethnic exception. Si Si loves knowing what people are thinking and feeling before they do, but she hates knowing what people are thinking and feeling.
As a young teen Si Si was given charge of keeping a powerful device safe from the hands of adults that might use it's terrible power to shape the world's events. As she matures into a woman the device, that for all intents looks like a child's origami toy, affects her life in amazing ways, willing her to seek experiences and peek into near futures.
Si Si spends most of her time wishing to meet and fall in love with someone that knows all these things about her but doesn't really care and loves her regardless. That is until she meets up with him. Then all Heaven and Hell is set loose in her real world, his studio and her imagination. She finds herself from time to time reading words that she is assured that she has written, first hand accounts of experiences that she knows have occurred but not to her. At least not in this life.

2009 was a quick rough ride on like being shoved onto a rickety roller coaster next to the fat stinky kid after eating way too much. I felt much better after I let it all go. Unfortunately the baboochka behind me in the flower print baboochka didn't appreciate the results much.
Still the year ended with all hands on deck, relatively in tact and still begging for a hand out, hook up or stimulus package, bail out, depending on personal income and effect on the personal finances of the masses around them. And me still seeking opportunity in places where my talent and skills can be of benefit to the venue operator and me. Click the photo above and get a look at Red Door Digital's public gathering space, the Exotic Zone Galley. Although the walls are decorated by the "curator" to resemble a second rate swap meet that's been hastily erected after the collective of artists that established it in the open area of the gas station across the street after having their work rejected by the 4H club that was throwing the country fair art show said, "This is just crap!", and walked away. The space is magnificent, well appointed, detailed with excellent craftsmanship by local artisan that seem to love what they do and do it well. I thought it be a good thing to try creating my Internet TV show there. Pray for the blessing of the owner. |

My favorite pen. I found it after months of hiding, picked it up & scrambled through the room for paper sat and closed my eyes I always close my eyes before letting the point fall on the paper like a needle into the grooves of a record and words flowed out words, letters, symbols, ideas, emotions I scratched them out and smiled, I thought of you and enjoyed the experience and knew it best to put it out and into the universe I wrote without trying, I just wrote images of Arabian jasmine cloud forests sweat stained collars pink factory light the familiar scent of sulfur hovering over I-75 that reminds me of home. Live jazz between the walls of Eastern market holes where stars form constellations but have no names and Yes, it really moved me.

| Agave was our favorite spots, a place that expresses more than anywhere that every one in Detroit is a star, because the stars just drop in and chilled with the regulars that star on the set.
Monday through Sunday Agave was a great Mexican restaurant in Midtown, with food good enough to make you slap somebody, but Sunday after 10p, Agave was "Rehab", lead by the Beatdown Sounds Crew, Delano Smith, Norm Talley and Mike "Agent X" Clark and Hosted by Greg "Kegger" Vicee and Corner Productions.
This was one of our regular Sunday nights on the patio, because inside it was too hot and too funky (in a good way). With people on the floor, stripped of tables and chairs, dancing into the Deep House sweat that is Detroit.
Amp Fiddler, is just one of the 'D''s everyday legions, but this night the crew of Motor City Bad Girls TV with Billy Beaver caught up with Amp, shining in my backyard and got a few precious words.
Enjoy.
