This first week of visiting Dancing Rabbit has been very busy thus far, with activities scheduled throughout the course of the day. There has always been something to see or do and learn about. The residents have been busy giving us tours of the land and the buildings and demonstrating all sorts of [...]

First full day
Well, we (the visitors) are starting to get fully acquainted with the goings-on here at Dancing Rabbit. The day started off with a tour of the village, and the full scope of what the individuals here are trying to (and already have) accomplish struck me as overwhelming while walking about the territory. Overwhelming [...]
Day 1
Whew… I am finally here at Dacing Rabbit, after three days of driving. I don’t have much time for writing, but it’s great thus far. It’s a bit like I imagined, but very different at the same time. I’m very anxious to see what lies ahead…
Stick around!
800 miles down
I’ve driven 800 miles in the past two days, and honestly, it hasn’t been all that bad. Sure, it gets a bit lonely out there on the road at times, but the change of landscape is refreshing. The trip through Ohio and Indiana have been filled with nothing but farmlands. A lot [...]
Tomorrow is the start
Tomorrow marks the start of the 1,000+ mile drive to Dancing Rabbit in Missouri. The entire drive should take 20ish total hours, which I am splitting up over the course of 2.5 days. I will have to spend Saturday and Sunday night in a hotel somewhere along the way, wherever that might be.
I’m not much [...]
THE IMMORTALITY OF MAN @ NewFilmmakers
NewFilmmakers is a year-round series that screens films every Wednesday night at the Anthology Film Archives (a wholly badass venue). My short THE IMMORTALITY OF MAN was just accepted, and will play on September 20, 2006 during the shorts screening. (Coincidentally, the video screened at Antholgy during NYSSFF over the weekend.)
NYSSFF was well-organized, not to [...]
“On Piracy” documentary
On Piracy: On Piracy, Radio, & Walmarts: A super-low budget documentary covering the causes of effects of piracy, to be released online. (I wish the title was not quite so awkward…) [Thanks BUTS!]
Links of interest

AFTERMATH
Lies and propaganda
“Carbon dioxide. They call it pollution. We call it life.”: Blazingly idiotic CEI ads intended to downplay global warming. I feel ill.
Fast Food Nation (The Movie): Trailer
Fast Food Nation: movie trailer: Slightly off-topic, but it’s funny that a YouTube-version video is the only format available… how things change…
Anxiety Culture
Anxiety Culture: “A web magazine with a wealth of ideas & gimmicks for navigating the crazy, paranoid, work-obsessed, media-crapulent times we live in.”
Dancing Rabbit coming soon
In ten days, I will start the 1,000 mile drive from New Jersey to Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Missouri. I will be visiting DR for three solid weeks. If you are not familiar with DR, they are an intentional community with an emphasis on sustainability and a simple, cooperative lifestyle. That means [...]
