"That my best friend, she a real bad b$tch
On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in
That's my best friend, she a real bad b*tch
Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft
In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in"

at mark hurst's gel conference this week ("gel" stands for good experience live), i had the honor of meeting some amazing, talented, inspiring, funny, sweet, powerful people... including noah scalin, founder of skull-a-day project. he was kind enough to sign the book i'd bought, talk to me about skulls and tattoos and projects and art, and bare his belly so i could shoot his skull.
the conference was amazing, in the truest sense of that word. for example, here's a sampling of some of the people i met, human beings who signed books, laughed with me, hugged me back when i threw my arms around them, sang in my ear, and shared ideas and energy:
- the singer and washboard player of the ebony hillbillies (the singer, who danced her generous ass off onstage, sang a song in my ear about why big women make better lovers, and i gave her a big, long hug for that)
- sal khan, founder of the khan academy, who begged me to tell florian to do some german-language chemistry videos
- robin nagle, anthropology professor and the dept. of sanitation's anthropologist-in-residence; she nabbed a fluffernutter shake-shack custard for me at one of the breaks, and i knew we'd become fast friends
- matt haughey, founder of metafilter, shy and sweet and utterly brilliant
- dr. ysaye barnwell of sweet honey in the rock, whose rousing performance literally made me cry
- larry smith, founder of smith magazine and huge proponent of six-word memoirs; when i told him i'd written more than two hundred of them inspired by photos i'd taken, he said we should talk, cos using imagery for six-word stories was his next project
- sari harris, IA expert for thumbplay music streaming, who offered to trade her orange wallabies for my beat-up chucks... and so we did
- julien smith, writer and speaker, who came down from montreal to just be his fabulous, friendly self (we connected over a 1950s tire on the bottle- and bone-littered shore of dead horse bay)
- the unlikely disciple, kevin roose, who while a student at brown, took a year off to embed himself within jerry falweel's liberty university, and lived to write a book about it
- rachel sussman, photographer of the world's oldest living things
- artists, photographers, technologists, social change pioneers, scientists, anthropologists, teachers, singers, and people who just loved listening to other people
see, that was the theme of this year's conference: listening. as part of the gel challenge, a contest inviting people to devise projects around this idea, i started the listening project, a collection of photographs depicting the passive yet thoroughly engaged act of listening. i was honored to be chosen as a finalist, and it was a privilege to be a part of the conference and listen for that theme as each speaker shared experiences, wisdom, and ideas.
i'm exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely jazzed all at the same time.
thank you, mark, for what was, yes, a very good experience.

Durant les cinq dernières années de guerre en Syrie, il a été estimé que plus de 220000 personnes ont été tuées et environ 12 millions de réfugiés ont un besoin urgent d’assistance humanitaire. Certains sont encore dans le pays et d’autres se sont enfuis au delà des frontières. La pire crise humanitaire contemporaine selon certaines organisations. Nous avons décidé d’organiser une série de concerts bénéfices pour prendre conscience et aider les réfugiés syriens.
Nous nous rassemblons aussi pour reconnaître que le militarisme n’est pas la solution et que les bombardements occidentaux n’arrêteront pas le conflit. Le Canada doit non seulement arrêterles bombardements en Syrie et en Iraq, mais aussi dénoncer le fait de consacrer des ressources financières majeures à la continuation de la militarisation du conflit, ce qui inclut l’envoi de conseillers militaires. Comme l’histoire nous l’a déjà montré, du Vietnam à l’Iraq, bombarder les gens ne les sauve pas.
Tout les fonds reçus au concert de ce soir seront donnés directement à un activiste éprouvé sur le terrain, à Beyrouth, au Liban. cet activiste est un allié et un ami du collectif Montréalais Tadamon ! (tadamon.ca/). Les fonds de solidarité seront utilisés pour acheter des fournitures hivernales (couvertures/vêtements chaud) qui seront directement distribuées aux communautés de refugiées Syrienne proche de la région de Baalbek au Liban située dans la vallée de Beqaa proche de la frontière syrienne. Les réfugiés les plus économiquement marginalisés se sont installés dans cette région car voyager dans des centres urbains come Beyrouth est dispendieux. Les organisateurs et supporteurs de ce concert ont déjà eu l’expérience d’amener de l’aide directe spécifiquement à ces communautés syriennes avec cet activiste en particulier à Beyrouth. Ceci étant dit, il y a déjà un processus d’établit. Merci d’avance pour votre support et solidarité.

Since the beginning of the war, which started 5 years ago in Syria, it has been estimated that 220 000 people were killed and more than 12-million refugees are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, whether they still remain in the country or have escaped across the borders. Some organizations have called it the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, so we have decided to start a series of events to bring awareness and aid to help.
We gather here also to recognize that militarism isn’t the solution and that western military bombs will not stop the conflict. Canada must not only stop sending bombs to Syria and Iraq, but also speak out against the lending of major financial resources to the continued militarization of the conflict, this includes sending military advisers, as we have learned from history, from Vietnam to Iraq, bombing people will not save them.
All funds raised at this concert will go directly to a trusted activist in Beirut, Lebanon, who is an ally and friend to the Tadamon! collective (tadamon.ca/) in Montréal. The solidarity funds will buy winter supplies (blankets / warm clothes) and will be distributed directly to the Syrian refugee communities close to Baalbek, Lebanon located in the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian border. this is where some of the most economically marginalized refugees have settled because traveling to bigger urban centers like Beirut is expensive. The organizers and supporters of this concert have had prior experience in organizing similar direct aid efforts for these specific Syrian communities with this specific activist in Beirut, therefore there is an established process. Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity!

jérémi roy : depuis 2005, Jérémi est actif professionnellement dans le domaine de la composition et de la performance musicale. ayant dirigé ses propres ensembles et accompagné bon nombres d'artistes et groupes, il a su extraire le psychédélisme des musiques populaires occidentales autant que la transe des musiques traditionnelles de l’Orient et du Maghreb. ses deux stages en musique turque (2010 et 2012) à İstanbul l’ont amené à adopter un système de composition modal non-tempéré, le tout accompagné d’une habitude de son enfance d’utiliser des bandes magnétiques et magnétophones comme moteurs du hasard contrôlé. or, son travail solo se veut une synthèse de ces éléments et a été présenté en mai 2015 au festival RE:FLUX à Moncton et dans le cadre d'évènement ponctuels Howl! Arts à Montréal en 2014 et 2015.
