SF events 7.25 Day out of time


For people interested in fire play, there is the Nimby event in Emeryville on Sunday nights and the Aids Grove on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you’re not playing with fire, these make less sense.

I know Temple of Poi has flow jams some fire, some not. Tonight, we have one with Fire, at the Palace of Fine Arts under the dome (cool new 6 spoke hoop to be played with extensively, I believe!) — and it is free. But the Temple mailing list is clearly not a good choice for non- poi folks because the poi emails are 85% and the hoop emails are far lower. Hope this helps in some way.

Wed Jul 26

# I think it's really important we support our wildlife animals too, so I request people Support the "Natural Areas Plan" at this local Rec & Park meeting next week, as people concerned for animals.

On July 26th at 8:30 am in City Hall, room 416, the Recreation and Park Commission will hold a hearing on a bold and progressive plan to preserve San Francisco's Significant Natural Resource Areas.

During the public comment, which won't be till 9am at the earliest, you merely need to stand in line and say something like:

"My name is _____. I live in _____, and I strongly encourage you to adopt the Natural Area Plan without delay. Many endangered species rely on this critical habitat and as a bay area resident, it's our duty to preserve it and the species that live there."

A little about the plan: Dogs and their companion humans will be allowed in every acre of the Natural Areas Program, no feral cats will be harmed and the Program will plant over 4,000 trees over the next 20 years, a net increase in trees. The trees planted will be fire resistant, indigenous species.

IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND, E-MAIL margaret.mcarthur [at] sfgov.org, Commission Liaison to tell her to forward your "Support of the Natural Areas Plan" e-mail to the Commission for consideration.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAN, E-MAIL christine [at] animalattorney.com

His teaching methods involve what is known as scenario learning. Richard uses real life situations to show women how to recognize situations before they occur.

PLEASE POST WIDELY!!!!!

FOR HUMAN RIGHTS & JUSTICE IN LEBANON AND GAZA
PROTEST FEINSTEIN'S SUPPORT OF ISRAELI STATE TERRORISM AND WAR CRIMES

PROTEST & RALLY, 5 PM
Thursday, July 27
Senator Feinstein’s Office
1 Post (at Montgomery and Market streets -Montgomery BART)
San Francisco, CA

Press Conference at 4:30

Senator Dianne Feinstein fully supports Israeli war crimes and terrorism
against Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Feinstein speaking at rally
on Sunday vowed to continue her support for Israel’s widespread violations
of international and humanitarian law that are causing hundreds of
civilian deaths and destroying critical civilian infrastructures. With
Feinstein’s support, the U.S. Congress approved a resolution giving Israel
its full support just days after the U.S. government used its power to
veto a UN resolution critical of Israel.

The Israeli military is collectively punishing the Lebanese and
Palestinian populations by killing hundreds of civilians and destroying
critical civilian infrastructures. There have been over 400 Lebanese
civilians killed by Israeli military over the last 2 weeks including many
children. There have been verified reports of the use of phosphorus bombs
on civilians fleeing the Israeli siege in Lebanon. Gaza is with out
adequate food and water and not only faces daily incursions by the Israeli
occupation forces but has also been put under an economic embargo for
months that targets the most vulnerable in Gaza.

On Thursday we will mobize to demand that Feinstein and the US government
support human rights and justice instead of their perpetuation of racism
and violence. We demand that the US immediately pressures Israel to stop
its aggression on Palestinian and Lebanese civilians. We demand the US
government end the use of our tax dollars for Israeli attacks on the
people of Lebanon and Palestine.

Please join us for a Press Conference and Protest at Senator Feinstein’s
office building this Thursday.

WE DEMAND:

Senator Feinstein stop supporting Israeli state terrorism

An end to US taxpayer support of Israeli war crimes.

The US government stop encouraging and participating in militarism and war
in the Middle East.

The US Congress stop violating the US export control act and international
laws.

Reparations for the Palestinian and Lebanese people for death and
destruction of their countries.

That Israel be held accountable for war crimes and the humanitarian crisis
in Palestine and Lebanon.

# FREE Intro | Evolutionary Health and Well Being | Thursday July 27th

http://evolutionaryawareness.com/events/intros/health.php

What: Evolutionary Health and Well Being™
A Brief Introduction

When: THURSDAY Thursday July 27th 7:00pm to 9:30pm [RSVP Required]
Where: The Arete Center for Excellence in SF

Why:

Learn How:

•I virtually eliminated HIV from my system in a few months without meds!
•To dissolve beliefs about what is and is not possible within your body
•Bring evolutionary awareness to health and well being
+Body: nutrition and fitness
+Mind: How specifically to harness the power of the mind
for your healing and how to clear out significant negative
emotional experiences
•Which non-deity, non sectarian, spiritual practices I used
•Apply to the same technology to any illness or limitation in your thinking
•Find out about the Evolutionary Health and Well Being™ workshop in
September

All in one brief evening!

What if "incurable" diseases were curable? What if there were a mental
technology and a integral approach that could unlock that possibility? It is
one thing to believe in the power of the mind...it is another to have the
key and be able to cut copies to give away for access, and to be a living,
breathing example of it with access to the specifics, diligently recorded
over my 5 month journey to heal myself. And heal myself I did.

Think this is impossible? Think again.

# San Francisco Peak Oil Hearing July 28
SFhearings @ sfbayoil.org

Bay Area activists and concerned citizens are encouraged to mark Friday, July 28, on their calendars. On that afternoon at City Hall in San Francisco, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) will be holding the first in a series of hearings on Peak Oil, focusing on its potential ramifications for San Francisco (and the Bay Area), how city government is equipped, or more correctly "not equipped," to deal with an energy famine, and what the local government might do to mitigate the catastrophe Peak Oil will bring to our local economy, infrastructure, and personal lives. This hearing will provide an opportunity for education of the local population regarding an issue with which so many are completely unfamiliar, despite its urgency.

On April 11, 2006, San Francisco made history. By a vote of 10-0 by the Board of Supervisors, our local "City Council," it became the first major American city to pass a resolution acknowledging the Peak Oil phenomenon. This action was taken after a group of local citizens from a grassroots organization, San Francisco Oil Awareness, contacted and met with their representatives, voicing their concerns about the city's future. The resolution, sponsored by Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi, Jake McGoldrick, Sophie Maxwell, and Chris Daly, called for Mayor Gavin Newsom and the Board of Supervisors to acknowledge Peak Oil and to provide funding for an assessment which would determine the effects of petroleum depletion upon our way of life.

This proposed assessment is a major undertaking, and the suggestions such a study would determine necessary to mitigate effects from Peak Oil could not realistically be tackled in the political realm without a mandate of the citizenry of San Francisco. Unfortunately, even in progressive San Francisco, a majority of our population do not know about nor understand what Peak Oil is, as major media are almost always silent about the topic, or when discussing it they are rife with misinformation. But our region is special in its history of activism and consciousness, and by harnessing these historical assets, San Francisco is poised to seize this moment and avoid the worst case scenario that could befall us as petroleum-based fossil fuel energy becomes increasingly difficult to extract from the earth and prohibitively expensive to acquire. San Francisco must take this occasion to begin to "power down."

With your help, July 28 could provide the needed impetus to educate the citizenry of San Francisco and the Bay Area about these potential disruptions. On that afternoon at 1:30, a press conference will be held on the steps of City Hall in conjunction with San Francisco Oil Awareness and other concerned organizations, and it will be very important to have a large turnout of concerned citizens attending the press conference as well as the hearing on Peak Oil that will commence in City Hall at 2:00 p.m. that day. Please make an effort to attend these important events, and please encourage your friends to learn about Peak Oil and join you in voicing concerns on July 28. It is not hyperbole that our collective lives may depend upon it.

The hearing on July 28, as presently envisioned, will include an introductory message about Peak Oil, a presentation by author, lecturer, and professor Richard Heinberg of New College in Santa Rosa, presentations by the department of the environment, and a discussion about municipal response from Dave Room of Energy Preparedness. There will be additional input encouraged from the general public, which is limited to 3 minutes per person.

Please attend the press conference and hearing that day, and encourage other concerned citizens, as well as your friends and associates, to join you.

Maybe we can encourage the people who block cross traffic to:
wait until the mass arives at that intersection, so as to offend as few drivers as possible.
Definitely hold up / wait before blocking major intersections. BECAUSE
It would be nice to be visible to as many pedestrians and motorists as possible while
offending/ delaying as few motorists as possible.
Pissing them off is just gonna make them anti-bike.

Saturday will be our regular and always un-usual party-themed event - this month, The Soma Rose Beauty Pageant - <http://www.anonsalon.com/july06>

Friday, we will introduce a new bi-monthly event called "AMBITOICA!" - a quasi-ambient cocktail lounge, launched with great success at this year's Harmony Festival. We would love to have you join us for its maiden voyage, as we move to raise a new private club where new social adventures can unfold and more softly spoken insights can be shared, in a more sophisticated lounge environment. Semi-formal attire is requested, men in jackets with fanciful ties, and women in gowns and sexy shoes. This is a chance to dress to the tens and groove in martini-time.

Join us for this eclectic mix of visionary voices and creative connections that will allow us to integrate playfully without the usual soundtrack of thumping dance music.

There will be stimulating art and music to interact with, and we welcome your suggestions at all times. The event will start at 8:30, after dinner and end about 2am, and we are asking $20 per person with no guest list (since we would all be on it!), but which will include well drinks, hors d'oeuvres and entertainment for the evening.

Our first night will feature the art of... and the jazz-tastic stylings of Luna Groove's electronica shaman, ALEX THEORY LIVE, a sophisticated blend of rare groove jazz & electronic breakbeats intertwined with acoustic upright bass, saxophone, sultry vocals, and spoken word poetics.

Also on board, an earth-toned didgeridoo journey by our friend TRAVIS. MixMaestros MICHAEL GOSNEY and KASHIA will create AMBIOSIS, a tag team musical web of dreams. There will be a life drawing class with graphmaster, MICHAEL KNOWLTON (materials included), plus game areas, think tanks and diverse amusements.

The photo-collage CD series of DANIEL FURON (Gorgeous Fauxteaux) and FOTOZ BEAUTY FULL by PHANTOMEYE will occupy 2 out of 3 galleries, the 3rd becoming the on going Master Peace painting communally created.

Each event will also afford the opportunity to join conversations topics, suggested by you! Many folks seem to have much to say about "An Inconvenient Truth, and how it helps focus responsibility for the healing of our planetary home.

# 07/30-DORE "Up Your" ALLEY FAIR http://www.FolsomStreetFair.com

-------------------------------------------------------

# Go naked with me to the Dore Alley festival
Sunday, July 30 11:00 AM Dore Street and Folsom St SoMa
More Info: http://www.folsomstreetfair.com/alley/
If you know what the Folsom Street festival is, the Dore Alley festival can be thought of as "Folsom lite" in that it's smaller, is mostly attended by bay-area-locals only, and has fewer gawkers.

One of the enllighted attitudes of San Francisco is that non-sexual nudity is NOT illegal in public. Some attendees walk around the festival nude and it's just fine. Some friends and I are doing it nude just for the fun of it. I've done the Folsom Street festival nude and it was great walking around so free. Anybody else want to join us? Just look reasonably decent nude.

I actually got a hotel room right on 9th at Harrison so I'll be able to leave my clothes in the room and not have to carry them around all day. You could leave your clothes there too (with the caveat that you have to keep track of me since I'll have the room key). (In case you're wondering, I'll be wearing an arm wallet to keep the key, money, and ID in.)

I know the Dore Alley festival is over a month away, but I figure I'll start looking now to find nudist/exhibitionist buddies to do this with. In the mean time, I'd like to meet up and hang naked. Friendship other like-minded nudists would be great. -Paul

# TOMMY CHONG
reading & book signing for "I Chong: Meditations from the Joint"
Wednesday, August 9th at 7 pm
--- On the morning of February 24, 2003, agents of the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration launched a sting called Operation Pipe Dreams
and forced themselves through the door of Tommy Chong's California home,
with automatic weapons drawn. As a result of the raid on his home; the
simultaneous ransacking of his son's company, Chong Glass; and the Bush
administration's determination to make an example out of the "Pope of Pot;"
Chong was sentenced to nine months in prison because his company shipped
bongs to a head shop in Pennsylvania that was a front for the DEA.

Beloved stoner comedian Tommy Chong is now older, wiser, and officially an
ex-con. His just published memoir, the "I Chong: Meditations from the
Joint" (hardcover, $23.95), tell his side of the story. Introspective,
inspiring, and incendiary, it is a spiritual exploration of his time in
prison, and a political indictment of the eroding civil liberties in
post-9/11 American society.

# August 10th through 14
July 2006 is the month to Bring the War Home to cities across the
nation with Direct Action and Civil Disobedience to shut down all metropolitan
areas. Then organizers from around the world will converge on DC August
10th through the 14th to confront the true war machine.

SHUT DOWN DC: August 10th through 14th, 2006. There will be massive
decentralized direct action against all government and corporate
entities.

The vast majority of government and corporate war profiteers are based
in DC, and its time they experience war first hand. Let's bring the war to
their homes, their offices, their parties and everywhere else they go.

As long as there is a war abroad, we must also have a war at home. With
the Iran war looming, the Iraq war lingering, and dozens of other wars
raging, it is long past time to bring the war home.

With thousands expected to descend on our fair city, mass housing, free
vegan food, and a convergence space will all be available. Mark your
calendars, tell your friends, plan to come to DC August 10th through
14th, 2006.

More information and details will be coming, and our website should be
up soon. Keep checking back for more details. In the meantime email

# SRL August 11 in San Jose
Anyone heard of Survival Research Labratories? These guys are a
hoot, and they are coming to town!

If you've ever seen Seamen at BM, SRL is the authentic article.
These guys regularly get kicked out of town the night before the
event by the fire marshals. Of course, that's not going to happen on
the 11th, but the show will not be something to be missed. All the
drama of a war zone with the choreography of Cirque Du Soleil. But
bring your earplugs! A gas mask isn't a bad idea to pack if you have
one handy, but it's unlikely you would need it these days.

The last show I saw of theirs was legend, out on pier 70 in SF about
a decade ago. -Brian

# PROTEST THE CRUELEST SHOW ON EARTH!

BAY AREA CIRCUS PROTESTS

JOIN PROTESTS AGAINST THE CRUELEST SHOW ON EARTH

SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
SIGNS, BANNERS AND LEAFLETS PROVIDED

INFAMOUS CIRCUS KILLING SPREE CONTINUES
Ringling Kills 4 Baby Elephants In 8 Years
Bertha dead at a few months of age.
September 2005: Ringling did not announce Bertha's birth or death.

Riccardo dead at 8 months of age.
August 4, 2004: Ringling claims he fell off a 19-inch-high-round platform. After making Riccardo suffer all night with two broken legs, Ringling took him to a hospital the next morning where x-rays revealed "severe and irreparable fractures." Riccardo was killed that day.

Benjamin dead at 4 years of age.
1999: Drowned in a pond while attempting to avoid "trainer" Pat Harned, who witnesses said "poked" Benjamin with an ankus. A USDA investigator concluded that seeing and/or being "touched" or "poked" by Harned with an ankus caused physical harm and lead to Benjamin's death. This incident was videotaped but Ringling requested the USDA not release it to the public.

Kenny dead at 3 years of age.
1998: Ringling elephant "trainers" Gunther Gebel-Williams and Mark Gebel, against veterinarian orders, forced Kenny, who was bleeding from his rectum, to perform. Kenny died later that day after passing a large amount of blood from his rectum.

Ringling routinely uses ropes and chains to separate 18-month-old-baby elephants from their mothers. USDA told Ringling that this practice violates Federal law; Ringling defended it calling it "industry standard."

In the wild female elephants never leave their mothers; males leave at about age 13-15 years.

Chained Most of Their Lives
Elephants in the wild can roam up to 50 miles a day. Ringling keeps elephants chained by 1 front and 1 back leg for most of their lives; the rest of the time they are confined in small barren pens in parking lots.

# September 8 - 21 Announcing Camp Democracy
Announcing Camp Democracy
Cindy Sheehan to Move Camp to National Mall
Cindy Sheehan and activists in the growing peace movement plan to
move Camp Casey to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., September
8 - 21. The camp on the Mall will carry the name Camp Democracy at
Fort Fed Up. Organizers intend the camp to bring together peace
activists with activists for social justice, united in demanding a
shift of public resources from war to the needs of people.
Participants will lobby Congress to end all funding of the
occupation of Iraq, and will demand that Congress hold the Bush
Administration accountable for the falsehoods that launched the war
and the abuses of power here at home that have accompanied it. Camp
Democracy is launching an outreach effort to include organizations
in the planning of the camp's activities, which are all in the
initial stages. Organizations already on board are listed on the
website:
http://campdemocracy.org
Participating organizations and guest experts and celebrities will
provide workshops and training sessions on a wide range of issues,
as well as on communications, voter registration, nonviolent civil
disobedience, lobbying, organizing, media production, and
performance arts. Congress Members and congressional candidates will
take part. Local elected officials will instruct attendees on
participation in local government. Musicians will perform concerts.
New films will be shown on a large screen. Participants will acquire
useful skills while demanding fundamental change.
Individuals can sign up and plan to come:
http://campdemocracy.org/user/2
And volunteer to help:
http://campdemocracy.org/about
Organizations, large and small, can sign up to participate:
http://campdemocracy.org/node/3
Organizations, trainers, speakers, educators, and performers should
propose activities that they believe would benefit thousands of
citizens who want to work for change:
http://campdemocracy.org/node/4
Internet activists, and anyone with a blog or a website, can help by
posting this information and link to the website using this link:

A camp for peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law.
Camp Casey will move from Crawford, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to
create a larger camp focused not only on ending the war but also on
righting injustices here at home and on holding accountable the Bush
Administration and Congress. Tents will provide activist activities,
trainings, workshops, and entertainment on these themes: War/ Peace/
Nonviolence | The Constitution/ Accountability/ Censure/ Impeachment
| Poverty/ Katrina/ Immigration/ Labor | Environment/ Health Care/

# 9/11 CITIZENS Court in Wash DC on September 11 - 18
This is from a founder of Veterans for 9/11 Truth http://www.V911T.org
This Sept 11, 2006 a new era will dawn on America. On that day the
people will convene and move through the legal recourse needed to
redress the government. At no other time in our nations history has so
important a moment drawn near. As the war of lies passes the $500
Billion debt mark and 3000 US dead along with 100,000's in the nation
we "saved", as freedom and liberty has been sold out to a federal
police force, as all Americans have been affected by corporate and
limited liability governments and municipal codes, time has come for
the change
