So much FUN on UCLA Radio last Friday even though I accidentally showed up in my FULL alma mater USC gear 🤭 

Got to bring new friends @honestlybrenna who filmed her music video inside Electrical Box Theatre & uber driver-poet Mike Octane who performed live for the SECOND time on the radio. 🙌

So impressed with DJDJ Dahlia @lacena.radio who brought such layered, thoughtful questions. One thing she asked is whether I feel my work is sequential, which reminded me of some collabs I’ve done in the past w/my musician muses and friends - including a traffic median take-over concert in the Fashion District in 2019 that helped inform this theatre project. 

Music is the highest art form. Creating unique sonic environments and visuals is a great joy for me to be a part of. 

I LOVE our LA performance art community! ❤️
& all our local colleges & universities 
- even UCLA ! 🩵

2025 seemed to do a number on us all (and if not, congratulations). I’m proud of all of us for merely making it through. 2025 proved to be perhaps one of my most patience-testing, grief-ridden, can-I-catch-a-break? Type of years. I know I’m not alone in this. Between Xeno getting attacked by a dog in March and later coming down with pancreatitis, we’ve been to the vet over thirty times this year. My Uncle suddenly got cancer and passed away over the summer, and after a beautiful but arduous trip to Europe I got mysteriously sick for months only to discover I had mold in my apartment. It’s been a lot to manage especially when these things are overlapping and intertwined and you still have to maintain a job and relationships and a life. 
But, ya know what? I fucking survived. And so did Xeno. And I’m living in a new apartment/neighborhood that I’m absolutely in love with and I’ve been crying happy tears lately instead of stress tears and that feels really good. And I have amazing friends and family and therapist who all help me through and I couldn’t be more grateful. So here’s some pics of good times with good people. 
I’m trying to be hopeful for a new year. A fire horse year. Bye bye snake year. Let’s gooo.

Edit: I want to take note of how many boats I was on this year and what a goddamned privilege that is 🫡🙏
