Fresh Lion’s Mane bought at the Arcata #FarmersMarket yesterday. I must admit I’m not really sure what to do with it.

My friend the marimba player swears by it for sharpening the brain, and we went to our friend’s #shroom booth and bought the last he had.

It’s kind of brain-like in appearance in a fuzzy way. What should I do with? I guess I should have asked. I’ll ask friends and google it. I’m sure I’ll get plenty of suggestions. Maybe you have one…

“Tales from the #DevilsPlayground” runs through the month of July in the #SecretGallery @theepitomegallery… (at The Epitome Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpQN0APrmE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coming up soon, Saturday, July 2, for @artsalivehumboldt in #OldTownEureka, a #photoshow @theepitomegallery featuring nun pics of #graffiti from the now long gone #DevilsPlayground. They show work from 2004 until 2015, when the Playground was bulldozed. My section is in the Secret Show portion of the gallery, while the rest of the multipart exhibit includes actual #spraycans repurposed as art pieces after being used to make art. Rumor has it, some #graffitiartists may be in the house incognito. We’ll see. Hope to see some of you there… (at The Epitome Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfIcO0ML0y9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What do we have planned for tonight’s “Everything Goes” on @humboldt_hot_air ? I’m bringing some #45s and a tub full of #CDs from various genres. @i_vernallis Ishan is bringing some unknown (to me) #vinyl and will probably pull somethings from the Net. It’s coming right up, Friday from 8-10pm. Turn on, Tune in, Space out with us. See you on the radio.

It’s another Friday, another “Everything Goes” on @humboldt_hot_air. And It’s once again me flying solo from 8-10pm, while @i_vernallis (aka Ishan) plays with @medicine_baul at @outer.roominations. Tonight’s show is a bit of a preview with the show featuring #musicians playing at the upcoming @katewolfmusicfestival. It’s the 25th anniversary of what was once a #folkfestival and now ranges much further. (It’s also the final KateFest @blackoakranch.) Scroll right and you get a preview of my preview. Turn on, Tune in and get folked up tonight on HumboldtHotAir.org. See you on the radio… (at Arcata Playhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CepCsS1Pwpc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stopped by @jmtletterpress (Just My Type Letterpress) on my @ncopenstudios tour. Lynn Jones was at work on a series of #blockcarvings showing gems from #Eureka’s #Victorian architecture. She still produces all of the custom #handprinted wrappers for @dicktaylorchocolate , although an assistant does most of the busywork. Nice stuff… (at Just My Type Letterpress) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cekg4QJr-HN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m not sure if it was officially part on @ncopenstudios but I started my Open Studio tour last Saturday in #OldTown @uncoded.studio and @thestuudiio, the #artspace of @jamesadamtaylor and @raelinamarie, where Adam does photography and Raelina does graphic and other projects. Adam was doing #passportphotos (like mine) for @humboldtpassport, one of Raelina’s projects. I bought one and will get discounts on a bunch of #localbusinesses. Wahoo!!

Does it seem like every time we watch the news there’s something crazy happening: war, mass shootings, insane conspiracy theories, etc. All that craziness is making me crazy, often effecting my sleep cycles. And I’m not the only one. People seem to be going crazy, especially those who do news reporting. Julie Wolfe writes, “Our KING 5 Media Group newscasts might look a little different tonight. Our journalists are still here working, telling the stories that matter with the context needed. Like they do. Every. Single. Day. But after a series of events over the last month, we thought it was important to take time for our mental health and set up several Critical Incident Stress Management sessions. You might see shorter stories, less live shots, an extra national package, maybe a replay of our amazing investigation from this week. Maybe our viewers won’t notice. But, if they do, I hope they take the message that when it comes to mental health, we can’t just do it when it’s easy, efficient, on “slow days”. We have to make it a priority. And we have to do it now. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing today: Take care of yourself and your team…” My personal advice follows Julie’s. Take care of yourself and your friends and their mental health. Be kind. Try to think good thoughts. Do some art of any kind. Bring someone flowers. Paint a picture, like this one.

Meanwhile the #arcatafarmersmarket moved around the corner, displaced by @kineticgrandchampionship. I went shopping after the Race and got some #vegetables, from @wigglewayfarm, some #ghee from @gheewell, some #flowers, and more and ran into a friend who I believe an #exfarmer. BTW the classic #woodenickels once used for buying food items are being phased out, replaced by metal coins. Speaking of #coins, I wonder if anyone buys food with #bitcoins.

More #kinetics @kineticgrandchampionship @kineticsculptures @suebee2bee etc. (at Arcata, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeKSxivvffl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After the #kineticracers of @kineticgrandchampionship have left the #arcataplaza, @shoshannadancer and @ambrzart #folks & other friends lingered, in part to take a poll on everyone’s favorite #kineticsculpture (note the clip boards). Others like my friend Lorna Brown had come from the @northcoastgrowers #farmersmarket. That’s where the #kettlecornpopcorn came from. The kid wanted to sell me a #rosegarland, and I was thinking of buying one, but I didn’t have enough money. #cestlavie …🌹🌹🌹 (at Arcata, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeKNwZXvi3K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
