the back reads: 

my dearest k.b.*

you have beautiful art. 

you have a great laugh.

may you dance of pink fluffy clouds

the rest of your life. 

"may you dance on pink fluffy clouds the rest of you life"? that's a lot of dancing. and if pink fluffy clouds are anything like cotton candy, you're gonna get some sticky feet. why not rainbows? or in the stars? or the glitter falling from the sky at bonnaroo? i guess that's why this isn't addressed to me.

*k.b. as in KB. as in not me. but we do share a nick name. 

notes from friends

there are certain people in this world that i meet and want to hold on to forever. you know, live next door, borrow sugar, hang out with them until you're old and grey. those are the people that i want to do everything for, love on them, bring them dinner when they're trapped in work, and spend the wee hours of the night chatting about nothing and everything.... because they're the people that i connect with. that i cherish. that understand what i say when i don't make sense.

so, kb left me this note last week... it not only warmed my heart but made me laugh for days:

i mean, there's a pig with a bow cast off to the side. does life get any better than this note? i think not.

by the way, kindercastle's new record, number b, came out this last friday, with not only a bang, but igniting the feeling inside of everyone that makes you laugh & cry; where every creative energy within starts rumbling around to create a wild rumpus. so buy, listen, stream. drive around, play games, swim, dance, and whatever you will, because the music is beautiful, and it's meant for summer.

find the people that fill you up and don't let them go, no matter how far they travel and how impossible their schedule is. make time, do back flips, because if they really fill you up, they'll do do exactly the same for you... even if you can only see them at 5am every 14th tuesday. people are worth it.

halloween weekend

it happens the same every year. i have brilliant ideas in march, july and august, but when the actual day comes around i get so flustered and annoyed that i totally give up my genius costumes. no different than this year, halloween is coming, fast, and i've forgotten all my great ideas. i'm sure that in march i knew exactly what i was going to be, and now, i only have a slight idea. suggestions? suggestions? clever. funny. not something to be made fun of. i hate having to think about this. but on the brighter side:

i'm pretty sure i'm going to document everything - first with our flip, then with my pentax, maybe some other old film too. eeeep! exciting, right?! let's just hope i'm surrounded by hundreds of people in incredible costumes.

i hope you've found yours (if you celebrate halloween by dressing up), and if you're not into that, i hope that you have a wonderful weekend filled with good friends and family.

love,

- k.

listening to some beautiful fall music today - including Andrew Bird & The Avett Brothers.

ps. that photo up there, was taken in a graveyard in Amacueca, Jalisco, Mexico (not my proudest moment as a photographer, but i still love it there).

pps. my dear friend KB's birthday was this week - just a little love sent to her - and her work is lovely.
