soul or system and virus people, collision fest 2009 last night

fun at the last night of collision screening fest with soul or system, german folk music, 1636 wilcox.
dj richard ray was in attendance.
rick of soul or system told me about how it felt to play to 80,000 people at glastonbury in polyphonic spree days.
got more gossip on the
lives of the saints . . .
tried to flirt with a cute german boy in german. i asked him to take me to berlin.
then, i was told he was some famous video director, philip virus, of virus productions or something.
worked with iggy or whatever.
his nice friend peter indulged my desire to speak german.
a very charming young artist henry spoke of joseph beuys.
tried to recap stanford tech itunesU class with his friend burgess until it became overbearing.
and emoted over the pirate bay, pirate party USA, patents and pharmeceuticals, freedom of info, conyer's attempts to keep federally funded science top secret and profit-motivated to the detriment of society, laurence lessig's entree into res publica political, acrylamide, kinase amine pathways with mutagenic properties, gammalinolenic acid, lutein, pthalates, endocrine disruption, volitile organic compounds, amino acids, neurotoxic mercury pollution levels in fish, the projected extinction of many fish species within 50 years, homophobic hate crimes, misogyny, the international criminal court and sudan, rape as warfare method, and women who pretend to be stupid for social purposes. and learned about san fran social safety net and progressive school systems from cool med student aislinn bird.
told peter about the kippenberger moca expo last december.
asked about what's all the hype re:berlin, and my sarcasm was lost on him momentarily, and misperceived as american arrogance, when actually i meant to parody american arrogance. peter ist jungfrau (virgo) and philip a cancer.
very cool last night of the fest connected with david lynch somehow.
great art.
great people.
great music.
DJ richard ray played experimental clarinet earlier in the fest.
the artspace will be closing down soon, so it was a very special night.
the whole night was theater, and i asked philip virus how one says "comic timing" in german, as that seemed to be his forte.
the night ended with a kiss on my cheek, which i don't get such nice things often enough, especially not from cute german boys in silver shoes, not to kiss and tell, but manners can be ever so charming, hinthint calibrats . . .
films included very enchanting scifi apocolypto "the golden foretaste of heaven" from studiofunk and "meereshund" (sea dog) a parodic plastic toy soldier stop time animation thing conveying eco-destruction, war-destruction, and the immortality of plastic.
a very wonderful set of music videos . . .
will be looking up the virus people . . . .
fassbinder was discussed by future members of the future cultish fassbinder society of hollywood which i hope will be screening 24 hour a day fassbinder on a slinding scale walk-in basis . . . .
but that might get a bit oppressive wouldn't it?
notably the bitter tears of petra von kant and satan't brew . . .
