I was torn as to where to post this. It could go on my music blog or on Put A Face On It but since it covers all arts and artists, here seems to be the best choice.
Again, I choose the best song for this night, "At The Closing Of The Year". It took up residence in my heart and my spirit the first time I saw "Toys" and it lives there still. "If I cannot bring you comfort then at least I bring you hope". "There is nothing more precious than the time we have".
2013 was a year of hope and precious times for me. It started with a couple of interviews and meetings I'd waited a while for. Wil Francis/William Control and Geoff Rickley were both part of the very first Warped Tour I went to in 2006. This year, William was the opener for Black Veil Brides' U.S. tour. Our conversation proved to me how intelligent and dedicated to his craft Wil is. The NY show was so great. William Control and his fans were a perfect match with Black Veil and theirs. I also had my first and only photo pass for that show.
I had briefly met Geoff in the Acoustic Basement tent at VWT in 2012. This year gave me the opportunity for a full interview before the Acoustic Basement Tour stopped in Connecticut. I also got to spend some facetime with him at the show. The Acoustic Basement show also brought Brian Marquis into my life. Later this year, Brian caught me offguard by remembering me when I climbed onto Bus #22 to interview Billy The Kid Pettinger. Brian is a great musician, a great road dad and such a genuine person. He's also lucky to be alive. During the Warped stop in Key West, Brian was struck by lightning. He tried to stay on the tour but his doctors did end up sending him home.
January saw two huge tribe features in FourCulture. After having his feature put on hold by William Close being selected to compete in America's Got Talent, we were finally able to do a second interview and create a great article. Also in the first issue of 2013 was Lucent Dossier and their wonderful founder, Dream Rockwell. In our interview she left me with truly great words of wisdom. I do my best to always be mindful of the point on the arrow of my life compass. Dream and William both introduced me to some more of the core values of the tribe.
In February, I had another one of those close encounters that didn't quite connect with Adam Lambert but I did get to do a short interview with legendary, funk guitarist Nile Rodgers. I discovered that he lives right here in Connecticut and his "We Are Family Foundation" works with the people dearest to me...youth. Thanks to meeting and befriending photographer Robert 'Bobby' Braunfeld, I was able to watch the whole awards ceremony and performances from the floor at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The performances included the first and only of Lambert's "Shady"by all the artists involved in its creation - Adam and Sam Sparro who wrote the song and Nile who was asked by them to add his perfect guitar line to the recording. Live with Chic adding the extra punch, it is by far the best live version of that song.
Although hectic schedules prevented the father-son interview to go with Hans and Bill Haveron's first father-son gallery show in Dallas, it didn't stop me from getting to know the Haveron patriarch. Today Bill is a very dear, dear friend and is yet another one of the special gifts that has come from my friendship with Hans.
St. Patrick's Day was spent in Manhattan but not for the parade. I was downtown at Webster Hall for Canadian multi-genre band Dehli 2 Dublin. After experiencing their show, I still believe they need to be on Warped Tour. These musicians took a challenge of mixing Celtic, Eastern Indian, African and Reggae and have come up with something exciting and really great.
May was super special. After a year and a half I finally got to meet William and experience The Earth Harp. I did write a review but words don't do that instrument justice. They also fall short when trying to describe William. However, I will tell everyone that I now am even more certain that he is the chillest person I know. Also at Metro Tech Plaza that day, I had my first encounter with Treeman, Lionel Powell. This meeting gave me a chance to watch him interact with people and the environment. I was totally enthralled.
A few days later was actually the beginning of June and a super-special trip from Steven and I to Queens and Manhattan. My son had recently turned 21 so we included a birthday lunch in the adventure but we started out the morning on the #7 to go to Long Island City to do a photo-journal at 5 Pointz. Both of us had our breath completely taken away and took hundreds of pictures. After lunch we headed down to the East Village and met up with Treeman and videographer Michael Angelo. We did interviews and photoshoots and had a blast. After I treated Steven to the best soft-serve in the city, The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. Sadly the photos we took were used in a series of op-eds for 5 Pointz as greedy developers flexed their muscles to destroy the one and only living museum of aerosol art in the U.S. Today, the complex has been white washed and is an horrible splotch on the landscape of Long Island City. At this time it seems like NYC is in store for yet another big steel and glass generic box in its skyline.
Early in May I came to the understanding that my plans to go to Temecula, CA for Lightning In A Bottle were not going to happen. As many friends know, I'm calling that my "Dorothy Moment". I understood that "If you can't find your heart's desire in your own backyard, then you never lost it to begin with". The moment I accepted that more members for the tribe came east. So in the end it all had a purpose and I love where it has gone.
Also in June, having cancelled that trip, I saw that July 14th was now an open date on my calendar. Deep inside I knew I was supposed to go to Warped Tour, despite being without my photographer for the first time in four years. When I quickly and easily got my application in and approved, with an ace in the hole if that didn't work out, I started contacting PR's for some old acquaintances as fast as possible. The result was outstanding.
The first band I interviewed upon choosing a journalist's path was Motion City Soundtrack. Although I met Justin Pierre two years earlier, after that I spoke to every other member of the band but him. Earlier this year I got to interview Josh which was great but the other founding member continued to allude me. It would be at the Comcast Music Center that I would finally chat with Justin. I also introduced myself to tour founder, Kevin Lyman who in turn, introduced me to the general manager of the venue. I got to hang out with my road daughter, Bethany and gift her with a unique piece of Kill Hannah jewelry. Courtney was no longer typed words on Twitter but someone I could actually share a hug with and watch her work. I reunited with JT from Hawthorne Heights, got to interview someone else I'd waited quite a while for, Shane from Silverstein. Got to dance with Young London and then talk to them later. Learned the stories of upcoming pop band, Echosmith, saw The Used, William Beckett and Relient K. Then it was off to the bus yard to spend some very precious time with one of my oldest road kids...Jinxx. I ended the day as perfectly as it started, watching him with Black Veil Brides. Driving home, I knew that I was never supposed to go to California. In Hartford, I recharged my batteries and was reminded why I came this way to begin with.
October presented the chance to do the interview correctly that I had started with Sutan Amrull in April of 2012. I also did my first Skype interview with someone in Bali.
2013 closes with news from a friend that has the potential to bring a huge change to my life. There are things already in the works for sharing more of the tribe with the world. I come into 2014 with a even more respect and appreciation for the tribe, their graciousness, generosity and sincerity. I will strive harder to earn my place in this family by living these ideals.
Happy New Year. Let us find more keys and unlock the doors to freedom, peace and unconditional love while locking away hate, fear, deceit and all other manners of evil. My light to you.
We are all members of The Tribe

Two songs from "Spark: A Burning Man Story" up for Oscar
The creators behind the independent film, Spark: A Burning Man Story, are proud to announce two original songs that have made the qualifications for the 2014 Oscars.
Seventy-five songs from eligible feature-length 2013 motion pictures will contend for nominations in the "Original Song" category for the 86th Oscars, which includes "Let It Go" by Michael Franti and Spearhead and "We Ride" by Missy Higgins.
Watch A Scene From Spark Featuring "We Ride"
Australian songstress Missy Higgins provides the original theme song for the film and soundtrack. Missy worked with the filmmakers to compose "We Ride" for a breakthrough moment in the film which is essentially the heart of the album with its intimate, soulful production. Higgins wrote the lyrics based on her experiences at The Burn: "I've had some incredibly powerful moments riding through dust storms on the Playa, feeling as though I'm 'On the edge of the world, where the light never dies' so my song, 'We Ride' is an attempt to capture the essence of this magical, mind-bending wonderland that is Burning Man. I'm honored for it to be used as part of the soundtrack to Spark.” Grammy Award-Winning artist, writer and producer,Dan Wilson, (Adele, Dixie Chicks) produced the single, and also was an Executive Producer for the soundtrack album together with Film Director Steve Brown.
Watch A Scene From Spark Featuring "Let It Go"
"Let It Go" is another original song written just for the film. As a Burner, Michael Franti writes about how Burning Man helped change his perspective on life: "For me, the burn is about one very large, meaningful thing: the simple act letting go. Releasing what is no longer helping me, in order to clear space for new opportunities, new ways of seeing the world and my own life. That's what the song 'Let It Go' is all about. Spark is not just the story of Burning Man, it is the story of people who share the relentless quest for transformation of themselves, our society and the planet. Sometimes, a lot of the time actually, we stumble and this song is about getting up. I'm grateful to be a part of that journey."

Sharing the true holiday message-William Close & the Earth Harp Collective
This morning I caught William's tweet about The Earth Harp Collective's livestream performance in TX at the Lake Pointe church. Being the proud owner of "Holidays" which William self-released this time last year I tuned in to see the live performance of some of its tracks.. The album includes songs that were recorded in the studio that was designed into the home that replaced the one he had lost in a fire two years earlier. The studio's construction is such as to accommodate the harp and to replicate as close as possible in a recording the live experience of The Earth Harp. This album shows that that effort was very successful but it is also great to see the Earth Harp and all the other instruments and voices with the holiday decorations around it.I found this morning's performance ironic, prophetic and a huge opportunity. Lake Pointe is a non-denominational, evangelical congregation...fundamentalist Christians. Definitely not the people one would find on The Playa in August covered in skins and feathers, sending their praise and prayers to the Universe heavenward in the giant bonfire that is the immolation of The Temple. In fact, I think it's a safe bet that most of the people that attend this church and others like it would cross the street to avoid contact with the members of The Tribe and go home and say all manner of awful things about these dirty hippie, tree huggers. And yet, this day those dirty hippies brought probably the truest, most glorious version of "the message" into their midst.
First and foremost my love of The Tribe and my gratitude to them for being invited into its fold is that we believe in a global community. We believe that the New Era that we ushered in on the Solstice last year will culminate in the breaking down of all barriers. No more will we use the words racist, biggot, homophobe. There will be no terms that separate us from one another. The lamb shall lie down with the lion and we will live in perfect peace. We will know agape, unconditional love. We are open to all religious options. We recognize and respect the great prophets, the mighty people of the gods. We know the names given to the divine mother and father spirits and honor them all. We appreciate the merits of the life and words attributed to the man known as Jesus of Nazareth.
So it is that The Tribe came humbly into this gathering of those who claim to follow this Jesus and with them they brought His message of deep, peace. They delivered spiritual healing with instrument and voice. William, a human imbued with knowledge of the angels, brought that otherworldly instrument into this space so that humans could experience the actual sounds of Heaven. Rafe came with that voice that rises over the din and delivers this glorious prayer in Jesus' own native language. They came with the spirit of family-both nuclear and extended. Sarah and William took their love for one another and pushed it into the strings of the Harp.
I'm sure that all the members of The Earth Harp Collective were well aware that the people they were sharing this with, in other circumstances, would not associate with them, would call them heathens, unbelievers. However, the agape love they live compels them to share the greater message. To help fill in the blanks left in the theology. The Tribe truly loves mankind. It is not that we are "better than you"...we want to add our parts of the machine to this. We want you to "live life abundantly". We want to help break your hearts and spirits open, to throw open the gates and let the real joy, love and peace enter in. This was your Jesus' message. It can be so much more.
Thank you William, Sarah, Rafe, and all the other musicians who share their talents so unselfishly. I have to say that I was terribly sad to find the words I feared seeing in the chat screen running alongside the video feed. I pray often that "Christian" would live Jesus' teaching about not judging. I wish they would open their spirits and see that we are all part of this family, we just have different ways of connecting with the Divine, worshiping, praising and honoring the Great Being(s) that created The Universe. Interesting that it was a "fundie preacher" that once taught me that we all have a tiny sliver of this great Universal pie and the point for us each to share it to create the complete story. Last year when I did my Good Friday labyrinth meditation, I saw this all as a giant machine and we are each a gear, a cog, a chain, a key...it will take every one of us to run smoothly...to create peace. Don't take the joy out of this holy season of The Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Yule...this season when we come together to find the strength to get through coldest part of the year, to celebrate having survived to the longest night and moving toward more hours of daylight even though it is a time that food is at its scarcest and weather its fiercest in the Northern Hemisphere. All these holy days have elements of coming together, sharing a meal, gifting, decorating and bringing a light into a dark place. I hope that those people who have accepted the twisted message of The Christ, have a vision of what my friends brought to them and shared with hearts filled with love and one day start to break down the walls and learn to live in real peace with ALL people.

Torture before murder - the death of living art
Dear Goddess I wish I had the money to pack my bags and move to Europe. If I hear one more "patriot", "real American" aka Redneck asshole yell "We're number one" while fist pumping, I think I'm going to resort to physical violence. For sure I will reply "No! No we're not! At least as long as jerks like you and corporate money grabbers are steering the culture of this country. It's interesting, when I interviewed an Eastern European street artist, he reminded me that graffiti as art is one of the few things that the United States can claim as native culture (post Caucasian arrival). Street painting was born here. But just like our great music of the last thirty or so years, artists have to take it overseas for it to be appreciated.
Dear skin heads, red necks, pearl clutchers, Tea Partiers, "middle America" what is your thing with wanting a country full of boring architecture, giant chain discount stores, awful music, cheesy movies and complete disinterest in visual art? You want all women still dressed like June Cleaver and all males are supposed to be dude bro, knuckledraggers who drink lousy, corporately brewed beer while yelling at some sport on TV every weekend? You find it revolting if a man chooses a career in the arts or sciences. Most of you never travel beyond the borders of your states. If you do go to New York, Boston or L.A., you wander around with your mouths open only visiting the tourist traps. You take in the Broadway show that is getting the most media attention. Do you know there is something called "off-Broadway"? Did you know not all plays are musicals? Have you ever taken yourself downtown and checked out all the cool boutiques, gardens and galleries? Of course not. You all bolt for the closest chain restaurant because it's safe while mom & pop eateries that make superior, more creative food are suffering. You have no idea what the true personality of any of these cities are. None at all.
Gods forbid you would ever travel abroad. Did you know that most European and Japanese kids have passports before they are old enough to walk? In the U.S. most of us will die without ever having a passport.
Safe is boring. Safe does not expand your mind. You will die only slightly more educated than when you were born. The truth is is that you're too scared of truth and progress. Corporations and big money keep you that way and you like it. It's too easy to sit on the couch, in your safe little house and bitch and moan about all the horrible people in America...all the people who aren't just like you. Did you know that your "god", my Divine Creator, made each and every one of us different for a reason and it wasn't to make yourself feel better by putting someone else down. Yes, street artists are different from you. Most of them work at night. They can't take safety measures because people like you parrot the "its vandalism" song. But their art is that important to them, needs to get out of them that bad that they are willing to risk their lives to paint. I pray every day that corporations don't succeed in turning this country into a bunch of wooden, glass and steel boxes. The more they can keep things the same, the safer you feel while they take over your life, your country. You left your balls back in the 60's.
So last night your apathy and fear resulted in the death of probably the only living aerosol gallery in the country. With police protection but no permits, the owners of 5 Pointz renigged on their invitation to street artists again all for the all mighty dollar. The steel and glass towers that will be built are just more of the "gentrification" of New York City. In the beginning, giving NYC a make-over consisted of try to hang onto to some of it's old beauty-sandblasting and renovating brownstones and other historic structures. But not it just seems to be more and more homogenizing, tear down and put up more gray boxes. This project is not only not necessary but more of the stripping away of New York City's heart and making it look like every place. At least my son and I have our visit to 5 Pointz to carry in our hearts forever and also have many photos. But future generations won't have that. I hope the people who manage the street art project in Little Italy can provide spaces for more artists and other building owners around the five boroughs will open their walls to these painters and writers. Our children, their children and on and on NEED art. It is part of what makes us human. It is our very souls in a tangible form that we share with the world. Rest In Peace 5 Pointz. You were a strong and beautiful being. I am honored to have gotten to know you and will miss you dearly.

Rahab - the Princess behind the Prince
In researching my first interview with Joshua Titchkosky/Prince Puja, I discovered his fierce alter ego, who he explains is his twin sister, Rahab. It's taken me all this time to put together questions that I felt would do this phenomenal girl justice and allow her to really help people to get to know her better.
Joshua has told me that your a his sister. Are you older or younger?
We're identical twins but he's a couple minutes older.
Indian spirituality embraces reincarnation and past lives. Have you two been family or friends in the past?
I think we've been together through most of our past lives... husband+wife, lovers, brother and sister, mother and son, father and daughter, etc. Eternally connected.
Which one of of you is a bigger inspiration on the other fashion-wise?
To be honest, I want to say that it's pretty equal. (Ok, maybe I think I inspire him a little more but shhh.) Our styles really play off of each other a lot. We kind of do the things that the other wouldn't. I feel like together we could wear anything. Sometimes I'm feminine and he's masculine or vice versa. We just like to play dress up and have fun!
Who are some of your fashion muses?
I have so many. I'm constantly inspired by everyone around me... friends, strangers, celebrities, icons, etc. But to name a few more well known people... Isabella Blow, Daphne Guinness, Grimes, Kirsten Dunst, MIA, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga, Yolandi Visser.
Do you have a drag mother?
Puja is my drag brother!
You seem to embrace a more androgynous esthetic. Any particular reason for that choice? (Personally I've come to appreciate this style. I love people like Raja and Jeffree Star and their "the rules are there are no rules" approach)
I believe that everyone has masculine and feminine energy in them and it's just a matter of how you choose to express it. Sometimes I express my femininity more and sometimes my masculinity. I feel that it's really empowering to just embrace the way you truly feel in a moment and live that out to it's fullest. So for me, sometimes that means putting on a suit and sometimes that means putting on a dress. But it almost always means putting on a pair of killer heels.
People like Raja and Jeffree Star were my biggest inspirations when I first starting exploring and discovering myself. That individuality and fearlessness is what I try to live in my own way every day.
In a follow-up round Rahab and I talked a bit further about Jeffree and Raja's roles in her life. I especially loved what she had to say about Jeffree "Jeffree is so amazing because she just doesn't give any fucks. I applaud anyone who can be themselves amongst the sea of basic bitches."
What's the biggest difference between yours and Puja's personalities? What's your biggest pet peeve with him?
I think I'm just a little louder and more outgoing. I really could give less fucks about what people think of me and my look/attitude/lifestyle/whatever. Sometimes he's so shy! I wouldn't even say it's a pet peeve but sometimes I just wish he would speak up a little more and be a little more aggressive/forward.
What's that one thing guaranteed to make you belly laugh?
Paris & Nicole in The Simple Life. It just never gets old! Haha.
Are you a hopeful romantic and relationship realist?
The only two relationships I truly care about are the one with Puj and the one with myself. I have romantic relationships with every person I meet and I'm very realistic about the fact that every person I encounter is my soul mate.
Suzie Homemaker or Party Girl?
Party Girl. Sometimes I dream of me being a cute little housewife but then I just imagine putting mollies in the punch and serving mints for lunch. Maybe not a bad idea? You can take the girl out of the party but you can't take the party out of the girl!
Movie night. Will it be action-adventure, horror or comedy?
I just like movies with great characters, great stories, great visuals and great soundtracks. It's kind of like life...there are action moments, comedic moments and horrifying moments but they all make up part of the story. Sometimes I'm not very into the darker stuff but it's interesting to explore because there is darkness (and light) in each of us.
L.A. or NYC?
I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't been to NYC yet =( But I do love LA! So many amazing, talented people here. And it's just very laidback and free.
Anything at all that you want to include. I want to tell your story.
I just want to say that I feel so lucky to be able to share my story and I just want to tell everyone who reads this that I love you and I think you are beautiful and amazing and talented and if you don't already, I hope that one day you believe those things about yourself! This is the only life you have in this body so enjoy it and don't worry so much! HAVE FUN! CAUSE YOU'RE DAMN FIERCE!!! <3<3<3
It should be no surprise after this interview, I've told Rahab that now more than ever, I want to go to L.A. if for no other reason than to to paint the town red with her one night. Can you blame me?

The keys to Prince Puja's kingdom
It's been over three years since we last talked. I have been keeping an eye on you and know that you are still promoting your lines on the web and have done trunk shows, arts events and Etsy. What else has been happening with Puja both in the jewelry and fashion worlds?
I've just really been working on my craft. Developing my skills as well as my vision. I started taking some metal smithing classes and I just recently released a new collection (Key Elements) and have a few more things that I'm getting ready to release.
What are some of your biggest challenges getting your work recognized?
There are just so many super talented people out there doing their own thing now so it's just a matter of continuing to develop my skills and vision and constantly being out in the world in whatever way I can... social media, events, collaborations, etc. But I've realized lately that the most important thing to me is to create my work. I feel like there will always be ups and downs and there will always be people who like my work and people who don't so it's just a matter of creating what I truly believe in and sharing it with the people who care and want to support it.
Over the past two years I've become more aware of the differences between L.A. and the NY metro area as far as arts communities, lack thereof and arts cultures. In your art, does competition play a big role in getting your "voice heard" above the others?
I think there is a healthy level of competition but I don't like to focus on that aspect too much. I think everyone who is truly following their own voice has a place in the art community (or world for that matter). I'm more interested in supporting and collaborating with other talented artists than trying to compete.
Is there collaboration in the jewelry world like there is in the performance and other visual arts part of the tribe. Where, if at all, do you find a "leg up" from other members of the tribe?
I haven't done a lot of collaborative work but it's definitely something I'm very interested in getting into. At some point I would love to do some jewelry for a designer's show/presentation/lookbook. Again, I think my only real "leg up" is my ability to follow my own voice and persevere (continuing to create my work and get it out there as much as possible).
Your new key line was the spiritual kick for me to get back in touch with you. What inspired it? Do you find symbolism in keys, whole or broken, that fuels your muses? Has this key line opened any doors for you? What are your sources for keys (tag sales, found on the street, etc)?
My new key collection (Key Elements) all started with a lock and key that I got at a market in India a few years ago. They were just so beautiful so I got them and just had them on my bookshelf for a while and then the collection just came to me one day and I knew I had to physically manifest the ideas in my head. The lock has Shiva on one side (the Hindu God of Destruction) and an Om on the back.
Keys to me have so much symbolism. They open up worlds of possibilities. They can unlock secrets, treasures, memories, etc. And this collection in particular is all about finding the elements that make up the key(s) to unlocking your inner strength/power.
Are there other new lines in the works? What are some of your current inspirations?
Working on a couple new collections right now. I feel like I've really started to find my voice recently and I'm so excited about the direction that I'm going now. I'm constantly inspired by anything and everything around me but a few of the big inspirations that I always go back to are India, religion, tribal people, traditional ethnic clothes, etc.
As for fashion...Do you strictly design for yourself? Do you think you will explore more in that medium over time? I know your culture/heritage is a big factor in your designing. Where else do you draw inspiration from?
I'm always trying to bring all of the ideas in my head into reality so clothing/fashion always plays a big part in that. Whenever I go to India I get stuff made there because the quality and their knowledge of traditional Indian clothes is amazing. One day I might do a line but I feel like when I do it will be very specific and concentrated. Again there are so many talented people and so much great stuff out there right now that I just don't want to put out something unless I feel like it's really special/unique.
Lately I'm in what I'm calling "Dorothy mode". My trip to CA in July never happened. Initially it really bummed me out and then I found myself remembering Glinda's question to Dorothy just before she shows her how to use the ruby slippers. "What have you learned?" After a moment's thought Dorothy replies "If you can't find your heart's desire in your own backyard, then you never lost it in the first place". Once I accepted that more and more members of the tribe have been coming east and I have gotten to spend time with them in NYC. Do you think you will be traveling in this direction any time?
I love that! I haven't been to NYC in a few years and I've been itching to get out there. Don't have any plans yet but it's definitely something I'm working on! That line really rings true for me because I have loved traveling my whole life and I haven't gotten to do a lot of it in the past couple years and it's really forced me to appreciate where I am and learn that if I don't need to leave and go somewhere else to follow my dreams. (Although it is super fun to explore new places and is always such a learning experience so I'm looking forward to traveling again soon!)
I have gotten to know many members of the L.A. tribe now. I also know that more than one of them are not "burners". Have you ever been to Burning Man or any of the arts festivals?
I actually haven't! =( YET! Haha. I've been wanting to go for a few years but same thing with me, it just hasn't worked out with money/logistics. Part of me is a little sad that I didn't get to go sooner because I've heard Burning Man has changed quite a bit in the past few years but it's definitely something I want to experience and I feel like it will really be an important experience for me.
