.may day.

Over 1.5 million people took part in May Day demonstrations in 2006 in what amounted to one of the single largest days of protest in US history. Many also participated in a general strike by refusing to conduct business, go to work, or attend school. The protests were called by immigrants groups and immigrant solidarity groups as a national day of action against House Resolution 4437, which would have criminalized those assisting undocumented immigrants as "alien smugglers" and turned undocumented status from a civil violation to a federal aggravated felony.

.derelict hospital.

Near Downey, California (a suburb of Los Angeles) there is an abandoned hospital campus situated near a residential area. From random clues and records found at this site, it appears as if the hospital has been abandoned for at least 20 years. Already the buildings show signs of advanced aging, by way of vandalism, marauding plant growth, leaky rooves and overall neglect.

Another adventure on the road with Taliana. Drove out to Visilia, a little town near Fresno, to see xiu xiu. Four hours down the grapevine from Los Angeles. Anyway, when we got there Taliana mentioned that it reminded her of Hemet.

So apparently, kids were organizing the shows! They were really taking matters into their own hands by organizing shows and at a pizza parlor no less. They even had a little zine going. Very enjoyable atmosphere… Good pizza too!

Anyhow, Xiu Xiu were great, I really enjoyed their performance, and looks like they trimmed the fat on members from the last time I saw them. Now it’s just Jamie and a girl, boy, was she adorable.

So the show ended, and we had to drive back home. I drove for about an hour and a half before I just started to fall asleep at the wheel. Tal had been sleeping for about an hour. I found an exit and pulled over for a nap. I found a small river or ditch next to a vacant road and parked, the moon lit the water and I couldn’t help but watch for a little before I shut my eyes.

People are so beautiful when they sleep.
