in death we'll finally be born.

I read that it will take at least 200 years for that zone to be safe - you do know it takes just one mutated cell to become cancerous right? thats a big risk.
(LYDIA = WET BLANKET)

and update on that CHERNOBYL TRIP, if we go there are obviosly risks, as well as the poverty and deformed children, there is radiation still in the chernobyl area, The zone which is most affected is boarderd off with a giant concrete wall, inside was once destruction empty building etc, the last 20 year has left nature to take it back, some species that were thought extinct have reapeared. And i think this is the main reason for this visit to find the beauty,
IF we go wel be going into this zone , i heard locals know ways in. But it shud be relativly safe. It has been 20 years,
in 2011 they plan to build a large metalic dome over some of the area, and no doubt it will become a tourist attraction, Exibition possibilities? amaya is a photographer and it would be great if joe and lewis some how colaborated into doing a piece of music or sound scapes 


anyway i know its all soon so dont worry if u cant but if we all can we shud try do it best we can even though we have little time


LOVEEEEEEE to you little forest animals wel be in farthing wood soon

greattt its a shame tims not in the band who have you got now? tim would be great for beargami,

So iv send out mail although its late to many germans , british and a number of amazing swedish illustrators 

i hope the words get in and theres time for them to get drawy drawy and sendin their love on paper,

probably 3 months, im hosting it with philipe but man i need your organisation help too. Its a bit hard to do these things in foreign lands. So wer thinking of renting this warehouse out, im not sure if its worth it. i guess il have to weigh up costs again.

if i loose the slippers i might never get home

i hear your trekking it to sweden, when and what

im waiting till summer to hit them up the pastes that is the weather freezez my mustasche, man ruthio and stefano are legendary

and man we didnt do anything last time we need to get our heads together soon

i fear prospects and malnutritioned inspiration i fear individualism and the lost neuronic connections of beargami

i dont believe in art man, because everyone makes it to make money and there is an unclear making for the sheer enjoi ment

for the process and the process of giving it away, SOMETHINGS fucked up someones fucked up, the world should be made so that everyone can be artists but i fear some of us are greedy and become full time artists while others cant and become DECREATIVE BY THE DRONING OF WORK  iv been working some hard labour and there is so much willingness to create, but artistic social barriers are made, there is a wall of art A BERLIN WALL OF ART THAT WILL TAKE AGES TO BREAK, we must have at it with spears pitchforks and bare fists

WE NEED THE GIVEAWAY AUCTION AGAIN BREAK SOCIAL WALLS

WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT WORDING CAREFULLY BEFORE WE ADOPT AESTHETICS FROM ORGANISATIONS THAT COULD LEAVE US LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING FEARFUL WITH POWER, MUST NOT BE THE UNITED POWER EAGLE OR THE SOCIALIST BEAR BUT THE CALM MOVEMENTS OF A STAG IN THE FOREST,

castro this sounds bangin'.

feed us with specifix.
I'm really up for that, you're right...once in a lifetime opportune moment?
Tim is a stand-in for Ireland, I terminated the trail period with Mr.Brand Mk II. Good times.

Can we make voodoo masks? We need a barrel load of paints, card and paper from University...scouring the bins like scavenging racoons.

LYDIA>
What have you been doing? Is the X–EE–BEE–SHUN still on?

whats everyone up to?


miss you

go on youtube search ------> Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able [Official Music Video]

yeaaaahh come see me! i need some creativity in my life x

Yeah the 29th of January/first week of February.

But if we were to go mad voodoo lightbulb crazy post-ireland I could just take the pieces back with me from Cheltvegas, whatever the size!!

As for Berliners.......Peter Pan's children innit.

and jam - what are these berliners not doing? they can't have a monopoly on all cool. what have they missed that we can completely make our own?

how does one become an association? and what do we become associated with? yes we need money to grease the wheels of our dream tractor.

joe - i thought the magic deadline was january 29th? i'll start putting ideas down.

can't do much, exhibition is coming up quick. got a risk assessment form to fill in hooray fun.

PS get together berlin???? theres so many gallery spaces to apply to,
THE PROBLEM TO FILL IT
the solutuion????????????????????????????? 

TIME
SPACE
MONEY
SOCAIL INVOLVEMENT

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
so i met some people today , a collective of 12, i asked to join, they were pretty well set up, like screen printing works and a shop
i had long discussions with them about their work our ideas etc,
basically THEY WERE PULLING TOGETHER 18000 out of an EU GERMANY ARTS FUND,
to fun them traveling round europe to other countries and collectives
and well they asked to come together theyd bring screen prnting facilities to london,
do an event with workshops
BUT ALAS THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE we are not an association, 
but in the future mabie, only cultural and social associations can have a shot at the money pot SO THERES SOMETHING TO REMEMBER :)
there is room in berlin for beargami but IT WOULD BE A DIAMOND IN A GOLDMINE
WE NEED TO BE A DIAMOND IN A MUD FACTORY


on the magic theme, iv listed a bunch of artists to hand in stuff from berlin,
iv been big on the hunt, this collective said theyd hand us a load of books they made, and the books are sick!


and yes roger BEARGAMI ON THE ROAD buy a german van and tour with it! we could apply funding for that easily, make our own fold out gallery,
HOWLS MOVING GALLERY, yes would be sick although i think wed need 2 vans one for sleeping and one for keeping, and 6 months traveling FRANCE TO MORROCO

LYDIA..


You are correct.
We need to voodoo the FUCK out of MAGIC.
Leprachuns covered in Cheetah fur and human bones stirring the fruity cocktails of Bloody Mary's.
We shall prepare in Cheltvegas.

1st of February I return to England from Ireland via Wales.
Will get on it asap.
I can't remember what my initial reply was, but I'm excited, have too much caffeine bursting from my fingertips and think I'm about to implode all over this screen.....


must....sing.

VOODOO man! fuck this unicorn fairy bullshit we'll break it apart with some hardcore witchdoctor imaginings. we'll fill the halls with dry ice and low low chants - glowing crystals and smoke signals! shapes in the clouds and mystic skulls! TATTOOS FACES IN THE DARK GOLDEN BRACELETS RABBIT FUR AAA NNN DDDD L O T S O F G L I T T E RRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
