hey petalers, yesterday LA shut down a bunch of the city to open it up to bikes. i think a similar thing exists in New York too--and the bay area has critical mass, which is basically much better because it's autonomous. so even though LA's thing (ciclavia) is definitely tied to making the city a happy yuppie place, there was something so freeing about biking down the street with lots of other people, not worrying about getting hit by cars. i put headphones in some of the time and cruised along with everyone else, thinking, is this what life after capitalism is gonna be like?
this version of the event was tied to the 100th anniversary of the la phil so there was music all along the route, including this sweet gamelan orchestra. after each song the members would get up and switch instruments, so there was no clear leader and everyone was doing everything. a life-giving image.

Wow so this week my Discover Weekly has Fishmans, Broadcast and The Clientele... is Spotify really trying to make me pensive and sentimental because IT'S FALL?
If so, it is working.

Good morning, Petalers. I'm subletting a small cottage in Silver Lake, Los Angeles from 10/23 - 12/5. If you, or someone you know, is looking for a place, send a smoke signal!

Thinking about Petal time, garden time. What is time in a garden? Not quite geologic. But time looks "frozen" there - most changes in a garden only register when we come back some other day.
Do we need a time stamp for each post? Should they be measured by the number of days since the garden was opened? The amount of time relative to the overall lifetime of the garden? So every post would be 100% at first but then slowly slide back towards 0. Dunno exactly, but it would be nice to break out of linear, measured-to-the-second time.
