Nov 30:  Open Space 10th Anniversary

Q: What's happening on the 1st December?
A: Open Space's 10th Anniversary Party (8pm-8am)

Q: What IS Open Space? Is it just an open… space?
A: That's just a silly question – why ask it?

Q: Our readers may be confused by the name so…
A: Fine… It's an old secluded farmhouse that became a trifling yet versatile community venue with an open-door policy and a penchant for art and music. It was founded during the bad ole days of post Lamma-Life-Force/hippy-style island antics and the vacant space that this unwelcome departure brought. Tamara Norris and Lamma's body politic at that time - e.g. arty commune types, seized the moment and lovingly painted and decorated the site, macheted the ever-encroaching jungle around it and held one or two blissed-out gatherings and a party to celebrate their hard work and spirited creativity before the Christmas of 2008. It was named Open Space to signify its open-format community-focused credentials, its equitability and also being unadorned from the trappings of modern life.

Q: Couldn't you have given me a quick sound bite?
A: You did ask and it's a long story - that was just the first 2 months.

Q: So what went wrong?
A: What do you mean?

Q: The hippy stuff. You only have DJs and all night parties now.
A: Untrue. Last year we turned the space into a forest school for toddlers, kids and...

Q: Great and what about the DJs?
A: For the 1st of December?

Q: Sure, who's playing?
A: Um……
8 – 9pm: Nick The Book - Psychedelic Mash Up
9 – 10pm: CaspR - House/Techno/World Music/Funk
100 11:15pm: Notsa B2B DJ Doey - house and varations of deepness
11:15pmm 12:30am: Miss Momentai - House/Electro/Pop/Breaks
12:30 – 2am: Jimbrowski - Old Skool
2 – 3:30am: DJ Nipper - Nu Skool Breaks and Old Skool Hip Hop
3:30 – 4:45am: Magnetic Soul - Soulful, rolling Old skool DnB
4:45 – 6am: Casey Anderson B2B Devlar - Techno/House

Q: Where is it?
A: Up a hill on Lamma Island. We'll post the directions on the day.

Nov 21:  'I Believe In...''

Weird Shit ~ by Nick the Bookman ~ Nov 20, 2018

"I believe in ETs, UFOs, Faster Than Light travel, Hyperspace and Parallel Dimensions and...

...the fact that our moon is a hollow spacecraft which is about one billion years older than Earth and was most likely constructed in our future and time-shifted back into the incredibly precise orbit it now maintains around Earth."

P.S. Responses on Facebook came in quickly...

P.S. Nov 23: Some weird shit happening to the picture above (see left pic below).

I took this random computer glitch on my website as inspiration for more "creative experiments".
(Most of my experiments are not good enough to publish.  ;~)
Here's my first acceptable result (click on right pic):

Nov 10LAMMA LIFE?

I came across this path drawing just before the Po Wah Yuen garbage bins (while walking from a YSW wine tasting to a Pak Kok beach bonfire).

How old is this and what's the meaning/story behind "Lamma Life"?
Can anybody enlighten me?

Nov 4Tasting & Painting w/Georgian Wines

Wine tasting and painting with wine don't mix!
See above what a mess I made by joining this event!

I claim it to be a completely intentional creation, but who'd believe me!

Back to my 38+ years of creating computer art - http://Lamma.com.hk/L-G - no hand-sketching and painting involved, much safer for an artsy computer geek like me...

...as long as I don't spill any wine on my keyboard.

P.S.. Here's a LAC video of the event.
