Toblrone14
Mark’s inspiration is moving into physical reality. Meeting with Kira, Ellen, Alan, Karen, Chris and Domain, we discuss the significance of Toblerone and 14 sections. The pyramid will have a 14′ base on each side with the equilateral triangles of 7 feet of PVC piping. Each triangle have a canvas panel that is painted white on the exterior with a hieroglyphic. The interior panels will be painted a multi-color. With a lighting system, to be determined, the W.O.W will glow as a beacon on the dark playa.

Ok, so Domain hasn’t had too much practice in using her new camera. I’ll try to keep my fingers out of the lens in future.

Kira was here too but my camera didn’t capture her.

As the salt-tinged winter winds blew across Carmel Bay, the atmosphere was cheery inside the dining room of the Sea Harvest at the Crossroads late yesterday afternoon. The gathering celebrated Karen Gelff’s work that evokes the balmy breezes of the Caribbean and Cabo. Vibrant colors, a mixture of textures and patterns in her portrayals of swaying palm trees on long white beaches, singing birds, swimming fish and happy octupi surrounded us.

Well, it wasn’t that stormy but just a little rainy and windy for the Center of Photographic Art opening of the latest exihibit, “Luminosity – the Art of ImageMaking” featuring our august UDS member Bimbi, known in the off-Playa world as Robin Robinson. UDS members turned out to support the creative effort with Ellen, Alan, Chris, Karen, Joel and Lance. Tomorrow night, the tribe will celebrate Karen Gelff’s opening at Sea Harvest at the Crossroads.

El Guapo has seen the snow covered Playa and wonders where the beautiful city has gone? It has just been temporarily re-located. Our city is hiding in the rafters of my garage, in Alan’s basement, in Chris’s backyard and Ellen’s notebook and thousands of other sheds, barns and warehouses. Mostly the hidden city remains inside of us, still beating out the tribal rhythms of joyism. Let the Playa sleep for awhile before the ruckus begins again…. Mark
