type='text'>Free Multi Sensory Experience</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;The show today in SF at Cellspace was fantastic. It was totally free! It had an open bar that only served Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum! There was tons of free food, the catered stuff, that covered veggie, beef, chicken, pork, and many forms of egg salad and soup. There was a free documentary to watch called Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry - A film about the life and times of american tattoo master Norman K.Collins. Directed by Erich Weiss! The film was superb offering an introspective fresh look into a man who broke open a bottle of "I Can" all over the side of Tattoo culture and the beginning of a blooming new art form. This colorfully shrewed trouble maker changed the way people look at tattoos.  There was a band!!! A band made up of Keith Morris (CIRCLE JERKS), Steve McDonald on bass (REDD KROSS), Dimitri Coats on guitar (the BURNING BRIDES) Mario Rubalcaba on drums (HOT SNAKES,​CLIKITAT IKATOWI,ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, EARTHLESS) called OFF! Fuck yes!!! They were great! Punk, Smart, Energetic, and ended with Keith walking off stage while the band played a seriously groovy jam. I was so into it I jotted my number down and nervously explained that I was into it and would love to do their album art. I totally dug it. I saw Circle Jerks play at The Edge in Powell Alto when I was 15 with my cousin. Skinheads started spitting on the band and the band started spitting back. The Circle Jerks kept on playing and totally rocking. All of a sudden I wasn't just dancing in a pit, I was ducking punches and making my way to safety while Punks beat the crap out of some aryan nonsense. I have been drawn to this expressive sound ever since. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3237928001739626984-118287604118737681?l=bottlebound.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/feeds/118287604118737681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/2010/06/free-multi-sensory-experience.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3237928001739626984/posts/default/118287604118737681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3237928001739626984/posts/default/118287604118737681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/2010/06/free-multi-sensory-experience.html' title='Free Multi Sensory Experience'/><author><name>Captain Nowhere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01435841839002821856</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PzRfjh6uEyI/TBygNupAuzI/AAAAAAAAAAM/9YW1gNQf5tc/S220/IMG_4460.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237928001739626984.post-7527731623233699964</id><published>2010-06-13T05:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-13T05:09:09.359-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Along My Way</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;I miss you guys...

and then had a weird medicine dream. then i had a weirder dream about yelling into one of those communicator tube things in an old light house. (definately put in my mind by the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1239050896_1"  style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline- line-height: 1.2em; color:initial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;Dr Who episode&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt; where the doctor and leela solve the mystery at fang rock).  i tried to go to the closest free clinic to my house today, but its sunday and they were closed. as my girlfriend was leaving to go study at psu, i was thinkin about hauling my 4 track recorder and a microphone upstairs to record some haikus and maybe some songs on the omnichord or something low key. then i heard her holler at me from somewhere outside. as i struggled melodramatically out of bed she kept tellin me to come outside. when i got to the front door there was a dead crow laying on the sidewalk.  i remembered in all those plays and books and shit about how dead animals are foreshadowing for later events..... like when the horses eat each other in macbeth.  my girl wanted to know what we should do. call animal services? call the city? call the humane society? no. i said i'd take care of it. i grabbed a shovel and she left. at first, all i could think was, "i love watching the crows play in my front yard and get in little scuffs with the squirrels and cats on the block."  i remember one time actually seeing a crow get so pissed at a squirrel that it actually pick't the squirrel up and flew up in the air just to drop it about 20 feet from the ground.  i thought i'd bury the crow in our garden. like some circle of life kinda thing. then i started wondering....was it diseased? would it poison our crops? kinda freaked me out a little to think about it. i decided to just put it in the garbage can. i'm all for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1239050896_2"  style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline- line-height: 1.2em; color:initial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;animal rights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt; and i hated watching all the animals bummed out behavior when i worked at the zoo. i'm not sure if putting it in the trash can was the right thing to do, but i'm definately under the weather and didn't feel like digging it a grave. i, maybe irrationally, imagined my cat or some other neighborhood animal digging it up as a new play toy and just got nauseous.  anyways, i scooped the crow into a shovel and was surprised at how heavy it was. i've had a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1239050896_3"  style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline- line-height: 1.2em; color:initial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;pet bird&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt; before, but this thing was bigger. the poor creature's neck was limp and his head flopped a bit when i scooped him up. i didn't see any blood and its wings were not broken. was it sick? had it been hit by a car? i figured that if a dog or cat got it, it would've snapped the crows wings or something. it was in the position of a sleeping chicken.  i don't know that i necessarily believe in an after life for any creatures on this planet...myself included. but i really hope that poor crow died peacefully. i also hope that, if there is an after life or if souls or whatever just hang around like casper, i hope that this crow doesn't haunt me for throwing its remains in a grey plastic city of portland dumpster.  and as for the foreshadowing, i keep reminding myself that i'm just loaded on cough syrup and i don't believe in that kind of stuff...  i kind of hate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1239050896_4"  style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline- line-height: 1.2em; color:initial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;shakespeare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;.  for a minute i thought that it was shakespeare's ghost that had put this dead animal on my sidewalk to get me back for dissing his lifes work. there is no scientific explanation for that so i'm just gonna drink some juice and read some comics. gotta remind myself that its ok to call in sick to work if yr really sick. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3237928001739626984-7083586820642993238?l=bottlebound.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/feeds/7083586820642993238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-sick-and-this-crow-is-dead-2008_06.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3237928001739626984/posts/default/7083586820642993238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3237928001739626984/posts/default/7083586820642993238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bottlebound.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-sick-and-this-crow-is-dead-2008_06.html' title='I&apos;m Sick and This Crow Is Dead (2008)'/><author><name>t wiggins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11285341053482353462</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_78yx9SgAn_A/SaBzrd6sNXI/AAAAAAAAAAk/LZ_xzxEF-j8/S220/m_6d11dd38102a4fc2945e8ccc5d038520.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237928001739626984.post-508114621292763202</id><published>2009-04-05T22:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T11:04:16.663-07:00</updated><title type='text'>another hopeless journey to nowhere</title><content type='html'>Delivering wine for a living sounds like a fine profession... It is not. It's not the worst, but far from fine. They don't give me a discount, and the hours are inconsistent at best. She sends me a text--&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Can you come in at 8:45AM tomorrow? Earl just made another order&lt;/span&gt;. It's 11PM... Great. I was at the bar thinking i worked at noon... Off to bed. Late. Missed coffee. Missed breakfast. Missed sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The van starts up fine... The smell of Diesel fills my nose. I drive to Salem, about an hour each way. It's an easy delivery and the Italian owner is the real stand up type. I like him--He's short, balding, has a thick accent and his face has the look of a worn out boxer.... I wonder what brought this poor fool from his "Madrepatria" to the armpit of Oregon called Salem? I drive back to Portland and get another one out to Hillsboro--Another shit-hole about 45 Min. outside of Portland. I used to think the guy at this wine shop was a total douche-bag. I'm wrong today, he is polite and gives me 25% off a bottle of red.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day is looking up and i have a descent bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to share with a certain lady friend of mine upon her return to the States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The last delivery is downtown to a club called "Dirty".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dirty&lt;/span&gt;? Jesus... I unload 5 cases of Prosecco in front of the homeless shelter on W. Burrnside and 3rd. I walk past the line of hungry washed up tweekers, drunkards and aspiring writers waiting for their cot and a food handout. The "club" is next door. The front door is locked. A sign reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dirty Nightlife:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;no hats&lt;br /&gt;no sneakers--any color,&lt;br /&gt;no gold teeth...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sign went on and on and on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, disgusted with this meat market I walk around to the side door. Locked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I smell something. Something horrendous. I look down in amazement and disbelief. My foot and my hand truck have found a steaming fresh pile of bum shit; A pile the size of a sewer rat but the shape and color of an apple fritter...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes, friends... I stepped in it... My nostrils filled with thee oh so mighty fragrant odor of human shit.  (Unlike dog shit, and far from cat shit, human shit hits the nose like no other.) And when Fuck Face opens the door i say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What the fuck! There is human shit in your doorway!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fuck Face replies, "That's just dog shit."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"So you just left a pile of shit in front of the door?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; didn't put it there." says Fuck Face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck you Fuck face...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I bring the Prosecco in--without wiping my feet. They don't have a check. Fuck Face says he can't have a check until three. We close at 2:30, so against Fuck Face's wishes &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I load the wine back into the van begin a hopeless journey back to the warehouse...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

He was a nice enough guy, quiet and laid-back. He is also a diabetic who doesn't really take care of himself, and my friend was forced to move out (with his daughter) because this guy's weekly episodes and trips to the ER had become too much of a burden. I notice he has a massive splint on his right leg. He broke his knee, and talks about how he is between houses and is hopefully moving away from Portland because it is just not really working out here. He mentions what an interesting fall its been. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;He takes his coffee and scone and goes to sit down. Time slips by.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I turn toward the next customer there is a commotion by the door. This guy is going into a full-on diabetic seizure. Right there in the store as someone is about to order a fucking hazelnut latte. We all gape for a moment. His hands claw at the table and he is white as ghost, kicking and writhing in his booth by the window. A few folks hold his head up as he is shaking and convulsing and we call 911 and they arrive and fix him up in a matter of minutes. He leaves with them, stretcher and all, out the door and into the pissing rain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What did he mean by an 'interesting fall'? It was the one thing he said that really stuck out to me.

stack of paper. Bound. No lines. 3 ring holes punched on the left margin.  Somehow this booklet or notebook or whatever it was had made it out into the street.  The pages seemed crisp and clean in the wind.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grand is a three lane, one way street.  In northeast it loses its way a bit, but in southeast, Grand avenue runs parallel with south bound Martin Luther King Blvd.  The paper was flappin around...layin about half way between the middle and right hand lanes.  As I passed, i could see that most of the pages were blank.  The holes punched in the pages seemed like little spy holes, each searchin for that half inch of world they could see.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I drove on.  Bored by myself and driving a boring way home to do nothing, I just stopped concentrating on the road as I hit a corner.  I jerked the wheel and the car lurched around the bend.  I saw quick flashes of holes punched in paper framing out the snaking kink in the road.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I couldn't see what was written or printed on the paper, but I wanted to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img
