Dreams & schemes…let’s go!

Both Sides, Now
Joni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions i recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

Moons and junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; i’ve looked at love that way.
But now it’s just another show. you leave ‘em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away.

I’ve looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions i recall.
I really don’t know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say “I love you” right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I’ve looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I’ve changed.
Something’s lost but something’s gained in living every day.

I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.

Thanks to Jessica Nagy, Indexed.

All tied up: Jan made a dress out of ties in 2009 - see the video below to see what 2010's show looked like!

I heard there were over 18 people entered & ready to go late last week (so, at least 19, hey), so it looks like people are getting ready for this year’s show! It’ll be Wednesday night at the San Juan County Fair – see you there!

To get you in the mood, here’s the portfolio of photos from 2009′s show (seems to me there was a lot of plastic wrap & mermaids that year!

And…here’s the Update writeup about that show.

And now… here’s the new 2010 video Update video reporter Cassy Meyers just posted:

Zip!

You know, this is their first summer, but the good folks at Zip San Juan make it look and feel like they’re are old pros at this stuff.

Heading for the treeline....

Pat and Stella are two of the most cheerful folks you’ll ever meet, and they make a fun experience exhilarating. I love hanging around them (which takes on new meaning with them).

Now I tried to describe what it is they do in my postings earlier this summer and earlier this year, but I believe this video (below) will give you a better idea than anything I can say, and make you dizzier than anything I can do, as well.

Scope out the vid, then give them a call at 378-5947 (their website: www.zipsanjuan.com.)

The show is at 7pm, with donations to the Food Bank accepted. Here’s more from Jane Buck, with the film’s trailer below:

Rob

Rob Michaan was a passionate soul. When he became aware of what he saw as the injustice, collusion and negative manipulation that was causing such great harm and heart wrenching distress to those of us in need of medical help, Rob took action in deed and with fortune to shed light on this darkness.

Rob became dedicated to the creation of a movie that would shed awareness about this diseased aspect of the healthcare industry. He knew that it was not enough to just complain to others about what he saw. Rob’s compassion for freedom and his distain for the arrogance of over-reaching American “revolving door” political power and greed, compelled him to financially support and be directly involved with birthing this movie called ‘Cut Poison Burn’.

Rob’s calling resulted in the cooperation of playwright Louis Peter Cimino, Emmy award winning director Wayne Chesler, accomplished actor, author, director and narrator, Peter Coyote, and the plight of Donna and Jim Navarro and their son, Thomas.

This documentary is a chronicle of the journey through the history of cancer treatment, and the politics of who has a right to use available methods and who doesn’t. The film takes no sides; it simply reveals the facts of what is legal and what is not, what has worked and what has failed, and investigates the money trail connected to each.

This is a film that could save your life, the life of a loved one and hopefully many lives.
