I’m a firm believer that communities should exist in real life, not just on-line. Most of us interact with the people we care about via some form of technology more often than we find ourselves in the presence of those people.
As life would have it, most of the people I care about live a great distance from the place I call home. Those of us residing in the same geographic region, do not see each other as often as we’d like due to work and family constraints. Meanwhile our lives go one.
It seems there is more and more technology to keep us connected with each other. The unfortunate effect of this is our attention spans fade, and we no longer make as much effort to actually spend time in each others presence. It seems we stay in touch for the sake of staying in touch.
The return of this online presence, is my acceptance that too many of us remain stuck in offices at computers, or tied up with our lives, when we could be enjoying the world around us. Aside from a diversion in our everyday lives, I’d like to use it to share information about events where we all could spend some time together.
Since I am me, and this is also a vehicle of pushing the music my friends and I make on you, you can figure that many of these events will be music and art related.
I’ve been an active counter-cultural taste-maker here in Washington, DC since the turn of the century, why should I stop now?
Stay tuned.
Amor y lucha,
Dozer
We are free, truly free, when we don’t need to rent our arms to
anybody in order to be able to lift a piece of bread to our mouths.
~Ricardo Flores Magon, speech, 31 May 1914
