𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕘 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕞𝕒𝕟 is a quirky force of light from another dimension. Insanely talented, huge hearted, and a big kid in adult moth clothes. There is so much to say and process about this kind soul... and I've been crying literally all night... so bear with me.
I met Gregg up in LA, and we clicked immediately. I had no idea what bands he was in or had been in. As our friendship grew, I found out he was in cat power... oddly enough over a decade ago, I was supposed to make a flyer for a tour of theirs in South Korea (that was canceled), but in doing my research... I watched countless YouTubes of the band, and I remember my roommate coming in and asking what I was doing... "This music is great, but who the fuck is that guy?! That guy is rad! I wanna be friends with that guy." He exclaimed and I agreed. Little did I know... fate would lead Gregg and I into friendship. We were both there for eachother through hard times and fun times. Countless hours messaging and sitting in group chats and after, talking longer when the room had emptied.
I sorta fell off the face of the earth via my last relationship and it's turbulation... and I distanced myself from everyone. Which makes me so incredibly sad that I didn't get more time with Gregg. I was hoping to see him next week...
I'm going to miss his laugh, his quips, his curiosity, his warm heart, and his enormous hair. There is one thing I know about grief... the people that we love, live in us and truly never die. They become the best parts of us. Love you forever my dear friend ❤️
🌹 REST IN POWER you ultimate LEGEND 🌹

Another trip to LA and back. I'm emotionally & physically exhausted from everything. The only crumbs of peace I find at the moment are in creating. Silly videos like this... and shooting shows... where I can distract myself enough to breathe. Simple life things like getting out of bed, showering, doing the dishes, laundry, practicing my piano lessons... everything takes a full force of effort. I'm forced to keep moving at life's speed, but I feel like I'm being dragged, hanging on the side of the car door.
Reminder- reach out to your friends. We are all shit at asking for help or admitting that we are not okay.
As Gregg once said-
"If no one told you they love you today, I do
You're worth something & you're not alone
Telling this to you and to me"
❤️

Fuck. What a ride. The last five months have made me question so many things... why now, why them, wtf happen, and do I even have a purpose? But, never my sobriety. Between losing my best friend/ soulmate, my job, another good friend and finding out some absolutely heart-wrenching news just in the last few days... I'm so overwhelmed with grief and getting punched while I'm down... but I haven't wanted to drink. I haven't wanted to lose control. Everything in my life is so out of control and out of my hands... I'm just floating in the abyss... and raw dawging the gut punches of emotions, feelings, and reality. It is absolutely by no means easy. I cry regularly. Feeling so lost and alone, not understood and misunderstood... like a freak in my own skin. But yesterday, I made my way to LA, had a long and meaningful conversation with my buddy Drew, spent some time with my good friend Dave- playing with instruments and pedals, and finally made my way to a meeting to celebrate my huge milestone. There, I was met with the open arms of strangers that quickly became new friends. People who know the struggles of life, gut punches, and feeling everything uninhibited by drugs or the drink. There was a calm energy within the quirky bunch of us misfits, and I felt some peace. Something I have been struggling to hold and hug.
Thank you to everyone who has been with me on my wild ride of sobriety and stuck around. I love you.
If you are struggling and would like to get sober- know that I am a safe space for you to reach out to. No judgment. I can help with options or just lend an ear. Sometimes, just being heard is the hardest and biggest step... the next one is admitting that you have a problem and need help. I'm always here ❤️
• My actual sobriety birthday is 4-29-2019
• Video is my drive home from LA.
I know I should have cleaned my windows before recording 🤷🏻♀️
• May the 4th be with you 🦾

They changed their name as they were short a member, and I didn't quite catch it, so I apologize. Beautiful set. Had me daydreaming of running in tall grassy fields. ❤️
Ps. Sorry for the crackling in the sound on the video... it's my lens focusing... totally spaced on bringing my zoom recorder 😮💨

𝘈𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯 tricked me. I thought he had a vocoder... a man of many mysteries... Besides his "dj" improv, he makes siq art (he made the flier for this show ❤️) - go buy his art! Buy 10 of his lamps. Do it. Do it now. Give him your money.
