This is intended as a ritual space and an occasion to make art, rather than a conventional kind of party.

Kingston is accessible by bus from New  York City (two hour ride, $20 fare each way). This may be a very small  gathering, or a medium sized one, depending on who replies. I&#8217;m planning it as an overnight that goes into Sunday (and I&#8217;ve cleared my schedule Monday as well, the Cancer New Moon conjunct Vesta).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">If you&#8217;re  interested, please send me a note (to dreams -at- planetwaves.net) including a  little about yourself, a photograph that clearly shows your eyes, and your phone  numbers. I have some room for overnight guests, though I suggest you bring a  sleeping bag. We&#8217;ll do food family style, skipping restaurants except maybe for  coffee at my friend Dominick&#8217;s place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">I look forward to hearing from you.

I will be in and out for the rest of the evening (mostly in) working on an article.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re in the New York area or reasonably close by, I am planning a gathering at my home and\/or Blue Studio for solstice weekend.
