you might know us formerly as Hoezone... did you melt with us at mutant mind meld... eat a yummy 7am breakfast at our New Years Party... or catch us causing a lil magic on dancefloor at our haunted hoe-down Halloween.
come through for our next gathering - we're throwing a fundraiser for our autonomous mutant festival camp.
AMF is the longest running free DIY art Soundsystem gathering in the U.S...it is decentralized, free and not for profit..one of the last pure renegade events around...it's a place for people to gather and share their art and music on big sound systems for anyone and everyone... No clout needed, anyone can come play on our rigs! Come thru if you are curious and interested in performing in a low pressure environment...the woods of the Pacific Northwest!
help us bring more queer, trans, and BIPOC magic to AMF - from getting folks out to the woods, to building out a communal kitchen + creating a space that truly holds us

very special veggie themed birthday this past weekend! ₊˚ʚ 🥬🥦🥕🌶️₊˚✧ ゚. highlights included an incredible bob & larry cake, pebersvend (danish tradition of pelting unmarried 30 year olds with pepper), lucky 7 vegetable birthday soup (七样菜) with fun vegetables from chinatown, analog ddr courtesy my friend's 9 year old son, a 'what veggie are you' quiz, & of course the (hard-fought) veggie strap on! 🍆🍆🍆 yay friendship yay 30!!
30 years old today 😌 Marked the occasion with a trip to my father's home in Ghana for a celebration of life of my late uncle Mensah. So meaningful to see everyone holding joy and grief together at the ceremony (two nine-hour days in 105 degree weather of dancing, singing, preaching and grieving), to hear our family’s stories of strength and resilience, & to learn more about Ghana’s decolonial socialist past. Our language twi has a word sankofa, "to fetch what is at risk of being left behind" & to gather our histories as we face the future. In this moment of transition i feel so blessed to have such a deep & meaningful history to tap into & a family I can share it with. medaase paa to all those i met & hello to a new decade!!
pics from guatemala over xmas and new years! this marks the 30th country i've traveled in (just a few months before i turn 30 😵) & one of the most special ones - huge volcano eruptions on multi-day hikes, christmas puppet parades and fireworks in the streets, indigenous mayan culture everywhere, & so many serendipitious moments of connection & presence. sib'alaj maltiosh (thank you) to all the kind people I met along the way & so grateful to be able to witness such a beautiful place!
