Dear All,
Hope everyone's spring is going splendidly! (mine isn't so much, but I haven't lost hope, solidarity with everyone who's also struggling with life one way or another) Anywho, this is kind of late notice, but my rad friends at UCSC are hosting this really awesome and interesting weekend-long festival event called 'The Humyn Experience' that's happening at their beautiful redwood forest lined campus. The event is hosted by the 'Brain Mind and Consciousness Society' and various university student groups. Suggested donation $5-$20, but no one will be pushed away for lack of funds and everyone is invited, students, community, and travelers (Santa Cruz seems to be a traveler epicenter, though the city proper doesn't seem so wild about vagabond culture, seems to just want to appropriate the image, but that's another story...) Back to this awesome event! There will be art, music, foods, radical workshops, skill-shares, talks and speakers on new ways of thinking about consciousness and our relationship to our own minds, with each other, and the universe, will be lots of unique artists offering free art improvement skills, and tons of other really interesting exhibits, discussions, and events. Gonna list the itinerary below. While you're on the UCSC campus, be sure to check out their student trailer park on the northwest side of campus, it's the only one of its kind in the entire USA, a trailer park run by students at a major university. Also, various art/ecological co-ops on campus are cool spaces to check out. The city of Santa Cruz has some cool radical infoshops to check out as well if you'd like. Anyone interested in checking out a nude beach that's not all just old people? there's a nude beach in Santa Cruz you can check out, just ask around the students, locals etc. I deeply deeply apologize for posting this event this late. One of my friends there told me about it last week and I completely forgot about until I was reminded about it today (work can do that to you, work is shit). Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time, but anyone who is around the SF bay area should definitely check it out if you can! Stay interesting my friends!
With peace and solidarity,
John
