Mutek Plans Shaping up

http://www.celebritiesmontreal.com/

I just received my ticket on Friday.
hotel is booked for the 28th and 29th.

Spoke with Claire Kenway last night about plans. She happened to have been nursing a hangover from going out in Berlin to see Derrick May at Berghain/Panorama. Apparently Derrick May is the epitomy of techno goodness and rocked Claire's world hard. Layered/percussive, 128-132 ish for speed. Great track selection. Can't wait to see him play.

Spent this weekend seeing Cousins Matt, Dan, Ethan, Polly, and Kava (the dog). Ethan was super fun and hanging out at the shop was fairly productive. Thanks for the delicious beef spareribs Polly!

Feeling a bit tense lately. Maybe more sleep is in order. Less googling.

Been watching all of the episodes of Frontline I can possibly fit in in my spare time. Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_Life_of_Plants by D Attenborough

"Ever since we arrived on this planet as a species, we've cut them down, dug them up, burnt them and poisoned them. Today we're doing so on a greater scale than ever [...] We destroy plants at our peril. Neither we nor any other animal can survive without them. The time has now come for us to cherish our green inheritance, not to pillage it — for without it, we will surely perish."

– David Attenborough, in closing
