the power and the passion

yamamanamaThere was a woman going the opposite direction as me at Braintree dressed in what I described as Ivalician Gothic, or maybe World of Balance Gothic: black dress, stockings, and big stompy boots. Michaela was going to ComicCon. At JFK/UMass, Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, and the Miraculous Ladybug (who had light-up earrings) got on the train.
Roselle has the inscription of the One Ring around her arm, the Eye of Horus on her wrist, the sigils for Zalera, Exodus, and Zeromus, as she is Exodus sun, Zeromus moon, Zalera rising, and also somehow Hashmal Venus. Speaking of which, I changed my rankings. If your sign is Mateus and you're pissed about having your sign pushed below Ultima, blame Ashley.
India, despite her name, immigrated from England. She had a cool colorful necklace and her family had a dog named Bongo.
Mikayla does art with fabrics.
Priya was around again and it turns out she's the anti-Priya, as the weather was far nicer than I thought it would be. It was cloudy and cool in the morning and then the sun came out and we got blue skied and clear weather.
There were a lot of Frenchies and a lot of shih-tzus.
I didn't get to hear Drunken Logic play but they were selling CDs for whatever you wanted to pay.
I got another CD from Grace Morrison, not a new one but an old one with her old band, which includes a rendition of The Wind That Shakes The Barley.
Sam Babineau, a fiddler, was playing with Grace Morrison. They played at least one new song along with Taking Johnny Home.
She sang her favorite song, which is not a song she wrote, it's Galway Girl.
Evan Greer is a songwriter and GBLT activist. She (not a mistake; perhaps this was her intent) says that we need to reframe our priorities, that she wants to be a drag peasant, that she promises to delightg and offend, she said that it was too hot for punk, she sang about not giving up against an unsurmountable pulsating mountain of unpleasantness occupying the white house
She sang If I Had A Hammer but it wasn't based on the Bruce Cockburn song about the Guatemalan dictatorship, and said that her daughter sang along with it as "if I had a puppy, I'd walk it every morning" but she never got the puppy.
Her voice reminds me of Brian Molko's.
The Sons of Serendip play harp, cello, and keyboard, and went to college together and later reunited and joined America's Got Talent on a whim. The harpist is influenced by Ravel, and the keyboardist is the only lawyer the vocalist has met who doesn't like to talk. None of the members are actually Sri Lankan.
Basel Zayed played a song about a woman with almond-color eyes and his wife has green eyes and he always compares them to almonds, and she says that almonds are brown, but when they're on the vine, they're green, and sung a song by a Palestinian who lived in Nablus and was displaced in 1948. He wrote a song called Civil War and he says it's not as ugly as civil war is.
I actually recognized what he was playing as an electric oud because Aliya Cycon played the same thing.
I'm not sure if Shirt And Shoes was part of the festival or they were just doing their own thing like Box of Birds was.
Blindspot is a three-piece indie rock band with a woman vocalist. Why they were playing at the Family Stage I can not say. I guess that Noelle Micarelli is rather whimsical and sings about superheroes and comic book characters and rain in her heart. She plays dulcimer made from a fallen tree and guitar, and everyone knows what a guitar is because there aren't any 5th century Mayans in the audience. She has a Bandcamp with a bunch of unfinished songs, and a performance piece about Italian-American anarchism. Noelle has earrings of birds doing nosedives. Jess is Noelle's future roommate.
I had more Haitian food, this time, biryani rice and peas and they had this condiment, a spicy slaw made from habanero peppers and cabbage, lime juice and vinegar and salt. So delicious.
I was trying to draw some of the models at the EcoFashion show but they were only on stage for maybe 30 seconds.
Someone took the place of Mad Yonder.
Taína is the feminine variant of Taíno and Asili is a Swahili word meaning nucleus, essence, either pneuma or psyche, origin.
Taina Asili y La Banda Rebelde, which, for those of you who don't habla Español, is Spanish for The Rebel Band. They sing in a blend of Latin rock and blues and reggae about social justice and other just causes, and they sang in solidarity with the protestors in Charlottesville, and I thought it was just "fuck yeah solidarity with the protestors" but it turned out to be way sadder and more fucked up: a terrorist with pictures of Bashar al-Assad and Pepe the Frog on his Facebook page mowed down a crowd of protestors with his car and I've heard there was at least one fatality and a group of white supremacists beat a black man with poles.
Fuck neo-fascism forever and always, amen.
We already know about Grupo Fantasia and Mamadou.
When I got to Government Center, it said a C train was arriving but I guess it disappeared into a spacetime anomaly.
I was expecting an uneventful ride home when the two people I wanted to draw got off at Downtown Crossing and there was nobody on the platform at Park Street but then when I reached JFK/UMass, Emily, Nadia, Laura, and Theresa got on the train. Therese said I made her look badass. Laura says there must be a lot of unfinished people.
Then they all got off at North Quincy.
burning question: what if I hit Pepe the Frog with a hammer?
