This weekend was great. Like every Mother's Day since like 1990 I went to Whole Earth Festival. Whole Earth Festival or WEF was an experiment/ class/ be-in that started in 1969 on the UC Davis Campus. It exists only slightly changed in manifestation to today where it is a Music, Arts and Crafts festival that is still student run, still free, and still kinda Hippie.

I was on staff for a couple years in the early 90's. So going back is sort of a homecoming without the football. I was never really into Aggie Football. You know art studio. Not really the same circles if you know what I mean.

Anyhoo, I saw some old friends, many of my friends are having kids 1, 2,3,4 yeah four of my friends either are pregnant or just had a kid. Crazy. And these aren't the same pregnant couples I was remarking on earlier. It must be something in the water because my peers are BREEDING. Also I found out that one of Mrs. mice's friends does not like kids. She doesn't want any of her own and she doesn't like them in general. I was a little bit blown away by this cause she seems like the most compassionate girl. I don't think having kids is for everyone, nor do I think the sole purpose of every women is to be a mother. I guess it made me realize how fortunate I am to find Mrs. mice. In another life I might have found someone I love who didn't want any children and wouldn't that have been sad for me?

So, as well as seeing friends I was asked ahead of time if I wanted to perform at Midnight Circus. I was asked nicely by one of my most fabulous friends and so I could hardly say no. Plus I had been considering retuning to Circus to do just such a performance.

When I was going to US Davis I did more than a couple Performance Art pieces. Some were scheduled, some were more guerrilla in nature. Some were at WEF, some at Circus. Some were at my dome (more on that later) some were in the Basement Gallery of the Art Building. Some were with friends and some solo. It was exhilarating do be asked to do performance. Some of mt old friends who remembered such performances of mine were there. There were also a lot of newer staff alum that had never met me and were probably bewildered by my performance.

I had considered describing the entire affair. But... I'm thinking better of it now. Suffice to say, I sang "I Should Care" and I did so in a costume. Like many, if not most of my costumes, it involved painting myself. I would upload a pic but my ISP screwed up upload so I'll have to put that up later.

In other news I have been able to feel the baby kick a couple times. Its relieves me so much to feel them kicking. Its pretty great. As long as they are kicking I know they are alive. If they are alive that is half of my worry that is unfounded.

More Later,
