Lucy Watson's Dream Came True



And this is it! My dream when I began making music was to release an LP that I really loved on vinyl. This is the test pressing. Sounds of Lucy Watson etched in time! <3

Of coarse now I want more.

Vela Phelan



This photo is from a performance by Vela Phelan at Meme Gallery in Boston. Vela has been working for a long time. The objects that he collects form an important part of his identity and spirituality. Each object is full of personal significants and memory. They each have a history that is so dense that after having heard a number of stories about them I began to realize how full of meaning the installation was. How it is representative of Vela's whole life and the love he shares with his wife Alice Vogler (another Boston performance artist). It is when we examine the smallest simplest things that we come to realize how much we will never know.
What will become of these objects? And what have the elements within them undergone to get to the point that they are at? Don't forget that plastic is formed from organic material that has been underground for millions of years. Did these objects ever have a mind of their own? A giant dinosar mind? A crocodile mind? How does Vela's relationship with them change their material makeup? Does it change anything?

The Stanley Hotel :GHosts?




The Stanley Hotel, located in Estes Park, Colo., has nearly a century of history. The hotel was also the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel, the setting for Stephen King's masterpiece The Shining. It has also hosted some famous names such as Stephen King, Theodore Roosevelt, and even the Emperor and Empress of Japan. But the Stanley may be hosting more than just guests. It has been the site of numerous reports of supposed hauntings.

I visited the Stanley Hotel in 2010 with my mom Josie and our friends Steve and John. While there, I took a series of photographs to document the experience and explore the possibilities of paranormal activity on record.

These are a few close up shots of what could be ghosts. This is what I always see in ghost documentaries so maybe they are onto something or maybe there is dust floating in the air and revealed in the flash.

    Stayed here for 1 night after hiking and camping our way through RMNP. We chose it because it was a good value on http://hotels.com for a pretty looking hotel. Of course we didn't exactly do our research and didn't know the place was haunted...but it turned out ok.

    At first, we were given a room with mold in the tub...they have no A/C and apparently when they remodeled, they used the wrong caulking...anyway - they moved us rooms from the 1st to the 3rd floor of the Manor house. This was nice but there was still some mold in the tub...oh well...

    It gets 4 stars because it IS actually haunted. We were on the top floor of the Manor house and heard a loud crash above us in the middle of the night! So maybe it was just a guy with a big roller bag next door, but hey - they did a good job convincing us it was haunted so we ran with it...


    The swimming pool was heated and a nice way to spend the morning before checking out


    Had appetizer, dessert and drinks at the restaurant in the evening - all awesome. The Meze plate was amazing. Eggplant relish, avocado goat cheese and hummus serves with pita bread. YUM. Lots of people spent the evening drinking on the balcony.




























See the ghosts I caught on film

ables
1 huge TV poorly mounted to the wall; exposed wires everywhere
1 desk / chair along the opposite wall.
2 old fashioned window which really open.

The bathroom and closet was as big as the room -- no kidding.

Although it may sound as if I'm bitching, I'm really not. The room was fine, and my problems didn't lie in the lack of decor.
It was, as the other called it -- the creakiness.
We were on the dreaded 1st floor - and either the room above was haunted, or. more likely, we heard every footstep on the non-carpeted floor.
It was, of course our luck, that our upstairs neighbor was not only a night owl, but liked to pace
Back and Forth
Back and Forth
Step, step, step -- creak, creak,, creak
The entire Friggin night !!!


On a positive note, the bed wasn't bad, and the huge TV had every HBO channel, so I caught up on my shows during the night.

I'll review the bar and restaurant separately, but I will mention that that the bar staff was very friendly, and shook up some fine martinis.
The food at the restaurant was quite good -- Very Pricey, but very tasty.
