Special Guest DJ TRIPLE X spinning goofy oddball “good trip” music while “Valerie and Her Week of Wonders” plays in the background!
In the evening, on September 22nd, 2010, the earth shall tilt just that much, not TOO much, and not TOO little, but just enough. Isn’t that another weird miracle of existence? This crazy little marble we’re spinnin’ on uses just a little more reason than rhyme, has its little subsolar point shift, and voila: Autumnal Equinox. If you can’t tell we’ve reached that special time of year, here’s a little list:
YOU KNOW IT’S FALL WHEN:
1.) Greeting card companies are suddenly stocking a plethora of works depicting multicolored corn, sheaves of wheat, dogs, wolves and birds of prey.
2.) Reaching Nirvana after crossing the river of existence, spirits of the dead give you a spirited “thumbs up” from the great beyond.
3.) You burn your thumb baking over 1,000 Moon cakes and your fire dragon dance needs a little more work.
4.) Rumors are flying that a supreme deity is going to elect you to sacrifice your only son, and it’s really freaking you out. You’re hoping it’s just a ruse.
5.) The urge to scatter endearing megalithic charms around the hills and valleys is irresistable.
6.) Celebrating your feast day with a well-fattened goose which has fed well on the stubble of the fields after the harvest is your idea of a GREAT time.
7.) As you help burn a giant wicker version of the vegetation spirit in an isolated and remote location, you notice the sky is on fire as well… weird. What was in those cookies?
8.) Personal seasonal goals include constructing a groovy pyramid which displays different patterns of triangles of light at the time of the solstices and equinoxes.
9.) In subsequent months, for no reason, friends nicknamed you “Percy” and you can’t ignore strong feelings willing you to return to the underworld to hang out with your true love.
10.) Finding an old Currier & Ives lithograph, you put some fruit on your head, pour yourself a spiced beverage (hot or cold) and become the vision of AUTUMN PERSONIFIED.
And finally, you know it’s Fall when CraftNight beckons you for kaleidoscopes, delicious cocktails, groovy visuals and excellent tunes this Wednesday.
See you at the Craft Table,
JP Craft Captain
