For new years, Jeffrepeater opened for the Funky Nuggets at Unity 88. It was a great time with Mark and Laura. Lots of different vibe people, I somehow felt like people didnt wanted me there but its prob mostly in my head. The Funky Nuggets werent too friendly but they were probably busy. We met M&L at the beach where they where hanging with the weirdest peeps. One of them kept trying to intimidate us with bombs and army talk. The other guy was a black pornstar.The meeting bar was obnoxious, infomercials playing and loud music with uneducated people. We passed out in their closet, in an inflatable mattress. In the morning of the first we walked all the way to sunrise and recouped at the house… It was a wonderful new year.

Ah the holidays. We made this card. We also went to a venue, Unity 88, where we met Johnny Ciao and his wife Victoria. There was an ice sculpture that was a shot river which I had to try but also disinfect. Mark went to the casino in Vegas for his birth day and made a great amount of loot. When he came back he was the man! He rented a room at the B hotel for 2 days and had us over! He took care of us so well! It was wonderful. The morning we saw the most epic sunrise: it was the international astral seahorse seashell convention. An army of sea creatures was dancing, welcoming the sun. You could tell Poseidon was working.

Hometeam jam and heady organic farm. We joined the heady heady hippies in their second anual Hometeam fest 2013. They were all mostly "gipsy" merchants: that is the fam. Needles to say there was some wickans and some really wise people in the crowd. The night was sort of unbearable, almost. However the morning when leaving I saw a pair of majestic prehistoric birds that apparently are monogamous.The next day it was too cloudy to continue to crystal river and possibly swim with the manatees... We decided to visit the other members of the band Drivers to Warsaw in their heady organic farm in Lake Wales where we were gifted the most wonderful organic vegetables ive had the blessing of eating. We got to pick some at their farm and we played some music in the yard. Eric and Dan were super hospitable to us. I had the best eggplant with coconut oil, quinoa and humus in a tortilla nom nom. I found the cutest strawberry in the world it was tiny and adorable. It was greener when I found it bit I took the picture like a day later so time had done its thing to the strawberry, it is still majestic tho.

Costa Rica October 2013

Wonderful! Quading to waterfalls with super heady organic breakfast juices. Visiting ye olde Mal Pais, natural volcanic pools and bathing in the thermal springs by the Arenal volcano. So relaxing. I went on a hike with one of the leaders of the Bri Bri tribe, he explained me about how they believe in spirits of the forest. And how the Rainbow Bird spirit signifies fidelity. I also went zip-lining across the jungle, it was quite a treat I was not expecting to do. All of these adventures with the company of my brother and his wifey.

Sept 6 2013

I had the adventurous bug. I went on a bike ride and decided to keep following the first person I saw riding; just for fum. Turned out to be Mirsa. I had biked with her a couple times. the next day we met at the beach lifeguard #14. We ended up at the nudist beach drinking mimosas in Miami. It was a great day with another female real human... for once. September 09, 2013

Mad decent block party starring Major Lazer bike ride.

Another weekend riding I ended up at a volcano party with MAD CAKE! It was wonderful. The next day I went a pool party, and they had cupcakes and ice cream cake and MD earwax!

Needless to say that weekend was filled with indulgence. It had to stop.

July 4th

Got caught up by the storm at night so we took shelter next to a building little space. We watched the people getting wet and the place reminded us of a chaotic moment in the city; cops and fire trucks everywhere. That song " I like big butts and I cannot lie" started playing, announcing the storm was over. After that we hung out with Mark and Laura. Me and Laura did our hair in bows! Then we biked to the Savy Fernandez band show @ Original Fat Cats, where they all saw me, and I was reminded of how weird artists can be, I forget sometimes they are only looking for numbers in their fan page. 

[alphadisco]

The Sweat Records show was super fun! We saw Archnemesis @ the Stage and it was good to see lucky shiner dandelion friends. We also attended a seminarinto how to monetize your music hosted also by Sweat Records. I also saw Hudson Mohawke dj set at Bardot. That show BLOOOWED! This guy only played that Yeesus Kanye cd, needles to say it sucked. He also plyed some terrible love song as he gracefully made out with some girl, in the middle of the set. They call it the Kanye curse. My vertical pallet garden is coming out great! Pics to come.

Supercon sneaks

Supercon 2013 was surreal. So many people giving life to their own dream realities. Sargent slaughter was there, and the Adventure Time peeps. The people dressed up in military clothing were not giving me a good vibe, they were so realistic. Everyone was celebrating their inner superhero/villain. Huge levels of enthusiasm and passion. I found another banana man. He was intrigued and surprised that there are banana people, as I told him about them. We waltzed in, because you know, we own the place.

Donnaroo was the perfect ending to my Buffalo pilgrimage. I got to play a set at 7am on Friday! I got to see Flying Lotus at the house of blues in May and spend time with precious friends. It was wonderfull. Until next time Buffalo

Oh what a beautyfull ride. The people come along, get together and create beautyfull vortexes as we ride; both in the route and cycling. Circles are freaking unreal. The Buffalo 10 year anniversary critical mass.
