Slutist's Legacy of the Witch 2 / April 25, 2016 by a zugunruhe

Slutist's second Legacy of the Witch festival was held Saturday night at Saint Vitus in Greenpoint. The night was filled with Tarot readings, burlesque, and a raffle for a dildo made of crystal.

The theme of this sex positive, feminist event was to reclaim the word witch as a positive and, in the words of Slutist founder Kristen Korvette, "to prove there's more to the term witch than a few Stevie Nicks costumes."

The night featured exciting, cathartic, and blood shedding performances by many lovely ladies and capped by bands Void Vision, Sabbath Assembly, and Wax Idols. The latter fronted by Hether Fortune, whose domineering stage presence brought out the likes of Nick Zinner.

Sunday brought the 2016 edition of the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival to Midtown, shutting down 5th Avenue from 49th to 57th.

Looking damn good for over one hundred years old.

Saul Williams, Rough Trade NYC / February 2, 2016 by a zugunruhe

On Friday, January 29th Saul Williams released MartyrLoserKing, his first studio release since 2011's Volcanic Sunlight. In support of this album, he announced a long string of dates in Europe. The first date (and one of two stateside) was a free show at Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg on Tuesday the 2nd.

All songs performed in the short set were pulled from MLK and things got hype when CX Kidtronik jumped down to help perform No Different.

#FindYourPark Coming Down / December 3, 2015 by a zugunruhe

For my last blog about the trip, here are the last nine national parks I visited.

I can't stress enough how incredible our American national parks are. I don't have the words to describe how it felt to take the short hike to Hidden Lake at Glacier and try to make sense of the unreal Bearhat Mountain or to stand a foot away from elk cows against the setting of a hot spring at dusk on an overcast day while the male was rounding up the rest of his harem in Yellowstone.

Utah's Mighty Five surprised me in every way possible. Traveling that state from east to west and witnessing the landscape changed is something I will always recommend to any one in the area.
