Media Warriors

2009-11-22T12:26:12Z

We are all 1 mind and 1 laptop against the world. Struggling to make a creative difference in history and pay our bills on time. This is a tribe for anyone who has stayed up all night making their ideas turn into reality with a computer.
In a world where Torrents and DIY videos give us anything we need as a weapon:::

We are the warriors of information.

Please share stories, jobs, art, music.....whatever!

Anything that shows that you are alive and can SCREAAAM through code, frequencies, and swatches alike!!

Promoters needs in these areas: Gresham, Vancouver, Hillsboro, Salem, Eugene, Beaverton, Oregon City, Gladstone, and Estacada, also promoters in smaller cities in Oregon would be great!

First mix in two years. Enjoy!

2009-04-24T17:22:05Z

Here it is – my first mix in two years. It’s the product of tracks I’ve collected since ’06 and some I picked up in the past couple months. This mix is all things tech-house: grooving and gritty, slammin’ and smooth, natural and artificial, and, above all, true to the sound that is the underground.

Please Tell me that there are parties somewhere where a real band plays

2009-04-13T05:47:33Z

DJs, DJs, DJs...I don't get it.

Does anyone play real music anymore?!?!

C'mon peeps...there must be a way to have real bands, playing real melodic music, real songs, etc.

I know Portland has some musicians here.....where are you all?!?!?

No offense to DJs....seriously, that's not my point. I just need to hear something more melodic than the constant never-changing thump of electronica.

I know....now the hate-mail comes.....sigh.

Buy your limited edition MOBILE GROOVE BOMB CALENDAR TODAY (while supplies last)!!

2008-10-17T21:04:11Z

Hey, hey everybody!!! Happy October!

So, it's 7 weeks past the burn, and we still have a few precious Mobile Groove Bomb fund raising calendars left!

Who can resist the beautiful ladies and the greatest commemoration of the always awesome Groove Bomb? I know there are still many Groove Bomb fans out there who haven't gotten their calendar yet, so lets *RALLY* this calendar effort and help everyone enjoy the Groove Bomb's memories with us!

For a mere $20, you TOO can own this highly coveted, limited edition Groove Bomb paraphernalia. If you really want to help, you can pick up several calendars to sell to your friends!!!

The calendar is an August 08 - August 09, so you still have most of the year to enjoy it!! Each month celebrates where the bus has been, where it's going, and how it came to be.

So if you want a calendar, you can call me (503-816-3639) or email me (lillialexis at gmail dot com) or meet me at The Crown Room's Bomb Squad Woosday. If you call now, I'll even though in a long sensual hug, ABSOLUTELY FREE (offer valid to the first 100 callers only)!!! I am around most of the weekend, and I will be at The Crown Room through happy house if the weekend doesn't work.

Cheers,
Lilli McSpilli

P.S. Here is a synopsis of each month:
August – Hitchhiking on the bus
September – Sexy teacher teaching us lessons about the bus (with the baby bus on her desk)
October – Look out! Vampire coming out of the bus
November – Lingerie lady serving Green Bean Bus Casserole
December – Reindeer pulling the bus full of drunk Santacon Santas
January – White snow and hot cocoa (and bus)
February – The boys of the bus, in red dresses (i.e., red dress party)
March – Majorette with March Fourth’s drums and their former tour bus
April – Jumping out of a cake for the bus’s birthday
May – Washing the bus
June – Fixing the bus
July – Turning the bus into the Groove Bomb
August – Burning man on the bus!

P.P.S. Here is a synopsis of the calendar's sales so far:
+ We sold *81* dates, or almost *$500* worth! (Thanks Marklar)
+ We sold about *250* calendars so far, or almost *$5000* worth!!!!
+ We had many of you selling calendars for us. Thanks to all who helped with that effort. Those sales accounted for about *100* calendars being sold, so about *$2000* worth!!
+ We have about 40 calendars left. That isn't many, but we *need to sell them*. 40 calendars equals *$800*!!

Anyway, so far we have almost *$1000* in profits for The Groove Bomb and we have the potential to raise over $1000 more!!

P.P.P.S. Thank you Bomb Squad for taking me in and introducing me to such a wonderful community. I can't express how grateful I am to have met all of you and been given such great opportunities to express myself through art. I loved building the bus, making the calendar, acquiring so many new skills, growing within myself, and seeing it all come together at my first burn. Thanks for making my burn SO, SO, SO wonderful. It was great to camp with the awesomest venue on the playa (yay, for not playing horribly repetitive craptastic house techno!!)!!

Take a look!

2008-05-21T21:52:56Z

I'm trying to pull together a bit of extra cash to pay for my plane ticket to visit my family this summer. Help an aspiring massage student out & please take some of my stuff- who knows, maybe once I'm licensed I'll look you up for a free massage to show my appreciate!
I'm in NE Portland, but I am MORE than happy to come to you, or meet you somewhere closer to your area if need be, just ask! You can reply to my post here, or via email, or give me a call ANYtime, day or night at (925) 297-7238, ask for Chloe. Merci/Thanks You!

ITEM #1)PIGGY SLIPPERS|$8.00 DESCRIPTION:
Very soft & plushy, mostly pink. NEVER been used! The bottom of the slipper says SIZE Medium 7-8, I assume in women's as a friend gave them to me as a gift and I am a girl, but I believe it would fit around a 5-6, maybe 7ish in men's.

ITEM #2) PIGGY SOCKS|$2.00 DESCRIPTION:
Black & pink. Medium sized women's socks with little bow ties with piggy faces at the ends of them. Never been worn, pretty darn cute- especially if you like piggy stuff!

ITEM #3)ARTIST'S PENCILS| $17.00 DESCRIPTION:
Tin box of 24 “Mondeluz Aquarelle Coloured Pencils- brand new, I haven't even touched 'em.They’re highly pigmented, you can use them wet or dry and they’re really fantastic for drawing, sketching and of course colouring. Great for anyone taking a body science course and making anatomical drawings.
They’re sold online at retailers for around $23-$25 but I’m giving mine for $17.00

ITEM #4)HEALTH/FITNESS BOOK| $22.00 DESCRIPTION:
textbook called "Facilitated Stretching" by Robert E. McAtee & Jeff Charland, commonly used for massage therapists. Bought online for school. It is VERY lightly used; I haven't made any marks inside the book, no rips or tears. The back corner on the bottom has the tinsiest bit of dog earring- other than that, it's pretty much a brand new book. It's the 3RD EDITION & comes with a DVD inside the book which you will have.

ITEM #5) PENCIL CASE|$4.00 DESCRIPTION:
Roughly, 6" long?(I'm not GREAT at estimating inches). Hard plastic outside, blue with orange butterflies and white writing/design. Metal sipper slides around the rounded rectangular shape of it. It's velvety blue inside. You could easily fit about 17 regular sized pens/pencils in it comfortably, with plenty of space for writing a few accessories(i.e. erasers, sharpener, etc.) I've only used it a handful of times.

ITEM #6) 2 SCIENCE DVD'S| $7 EACH/$10 if bought together! DESCRIPTION:
"MEMMLER'S STRUCTURE & FUNCTION of THE HUMAN BODY"
I've only watched it once. No scratches. Came with the 8th Edition accommodating titled book. $7.00
"KINESIOLOGY" again, from the textbook with the same title by John Muscolino. Never been watched. In new condition. $7.00

ITEM#7)SUNGLASSES| $2.00 DESCRIPTION:
White, thin-rimmed aviator sunglasses with dark brown/tanish not quite black tinted lenses. In fine condition.

ITEM #8) CD CASE|$7.00 DESCRIPTION:
Square shape, silvery/rainbow colour outside. Holds 24 CD's. Metal zipper. A little used but no rips, tears, dysfunctions.

ITEM #9.) POLAROID CAMERA|$15 DESCRIPTION:
Hardly used, very great condition. Works with 600 film. Green & grey.

I don't have pictures to post here but if you want it, I can send you some as an email attachment. Thank you so much for looking, I really appreciate it!

Portland work party

2008-05-17T09:53:06Z

I'm hosting a work-party Saturday in Portland. Or Even tomorrow if enough people reply. I live just past Sauvie Island on Hwy. 30. I have a hundred bucks for a keg and buttloads of BBQ. It's all yard shit that you can do while geting fucked up. Grand Prize is the outbuilding art-studio which someone gets to live in till I sell the place in June or July. I'm going to post on a couple of other tribes but people are usually lame even if they say they'll show. The idea is as follows:

Pull about 50 sticker vines, Mow the yard, fill-in the gopher holes, and then make a bonfire and get wasted. You can contact me through Tribe or call me at 503-621-9791. The more people that come the better. It's going to be warm, you can bring your dog and camp in the back yard by the fire.

I also got a new .22 target pistol. We can't shoot it in back, but down at the end of the other side of the neighborhood we can shoot cans under the railroad trestle and it's no big deal. I'm going to buy a thousand rounds.

BEER, BBQ AND BULLETS. What more can I offer? Oh, and a free place to crash for a couple of months.....and some other stuff to whoever wants them. Last lucky fellow got two turntables, a mixer and three lasers.

Let me know people.

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

2008-01-05T20:07:29Z

Senate bill 1959
The end of Free Speech in America has arrived at our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks out against the Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent. All over the internet, intelligent people who care about freedom are speaking out against this extremely dangerous law: Philip Giraldi at the Huffington Post, Declan McCullagh at CNET's News.com, Kathryn Smith at OpEdNews.com, and of course Alex Jones at PrisonPlanet.com

This bill is the beginning of the end of Free Speech in America. If it passes, all the information sources you know and trust could be shut down and their authors imprisoned. NewsTarget could be taken offline and I could be arrested as a "terrorist." Jeff Rense at www.Rense.com could be labeled a "terrorist" and arrested. Byron Richards, Len Horowitz, Paul Craig Roberts, Greg Palast, Ron Paul and even Al Gore could all be arrested, silenced and incarcerated. This is not an exaggeration. It is a literal reading of the law, which you can check yourself here: thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxm...955_rfs.xml

The bill states:

‘...ideologically based violence’ means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual’s political, religious, or social beliefs...

Note that this means the "planned use of force to promote a political or social belief" would be considered an act of terrorism. This all hinges on the definition of "force," of course. Based on the loose use of logic in Washington these days, and the slippery interpretation of the meaning of words, "force" could mean:

• A grassroots campaign to barrage Congress with faxes
• A non-violent street protest
• A letter-writing campaign that deluges the Senate with too much mail
• A sit-in protest that blocks access to a business or organization
• A grassroots e-mail campaign that overloads the e-mail servers of any government department or agency

You get the idea. "Force" could be defined as practically anything. And since the "planned use of force" would be considered a criminal act of terrorism, anyone who simply thinks about a grassroots action campaign would be engaged in terrorist acts.

If you stopped someone on the street and handed them a Bible, for example, this could be considered an act of terrorism ("...use of force to promote the individual's religious beliefs...")

If you sent a barrage of angry letters to Washington about global warming and the destruction of the environment by the U.S. military, this could also be considered an act of terrorism ("...to promote the individual's political beliefs...")

If you believe in same-sex marriage and you wrote a letter threatning a sit-in protest in front of your state's capitol building, this could also be considered an act of terrorism, even if you never carried it out! ("...planned use of force to promote a social belief...")

The United States is on the fast track to fascism, and the Congress is working right alongside this nation's traitorous leaders to criminalize any thoughts, words or speeches that disagree with current government policies regarding war, terrorism, domestic surveillance and civil liberties. Simply speaking out against the war on Iraq could soon be labeled a crime. Merely thinking thoughts against the war on Iraq could be considered a criminal act.

Must-see video: Naomi Wolf's lecture on 10 steps to fascism
There's a video lecture you simply MUST watch. It's by Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America. She covers this topic with great elegance and a deep understanding of history. See her video on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/watch

NCEF! Media sabotaged! Hijacked by lone wingnut! Accused of fraud and embezzlement!

2007-11-07T04:56:18Z

NCEF! Media in Humboldt County, Ca. is accused of fraud and donation embezzlement. Caution! Do not support this lone wingnut's scam! Other legitamate groups exist in the area. Caution! Do not be fooled by NCEF! Media and his fraudulent outreach. Shunka Wakan exists completely seperate from any active affinity group. Read about how he perpetuated a lawsuit under the guise of EF! against a legitamate environmental nonprofit:

Money On Trees

Big cash nearly fell into Shunka Wakan's lap. Other Earth First!ers are kinda happy it didn't.

by Heidi Walters

As the jury trial for the civil suit Kathryn Miller v. the Trees Foundation puttered to a start last week inside Courtroom 3 at the Humboldt County Courthouse, Shunka Wakan — a key witness for the plaintiff — spent mornings sitting on the hard wooden benches in the long hallway outside the courtroom. During breaks, Miller's attorney Linda Mitlyng, would come out of the courtroom to join him. But otherwise, as other people and their legal affairs swirled around him in a warm, odiferous bath of humanity, Shunka sat alone. Or, sometimes, he stood alone, straight-spined, his small, stocky body swallowed by the huge, stiff blue suit out of which his newly shorn, razor-scraped bald head poked vulnerably — as if, at any moment, the suit could gulp once more and he'd disappear completely. Always, he clutched a paper folder with a wolf's face on its cover.

The North Coast Earth First! Media guru had shaved off his woolly rust-tinged brown hair and beard the night before jury selection started, after discussing it with attorney Mitlyng. Now, it took an uncertain moment to recognize him. Then, of course: Shunka's light blue eyes in the pink-pale face, Shunka's closed-lip smile, Shunka's trademark husky murmur, "Mm-hmm, for sure," in response to a comment.

In Courtroom 3, the amiable but no-nonsense Judge Christopher Wilson's domain, the fate of a $185,000 donation dangled. Would the plaintiff, donor Kathryn Miller, prevail in her claim that the defendant, the Trees Foundation, was not in fact the intended recipient of her generous gift? That Shunka Wakan's NCEF! Media Center and the treesitters were? Or would the Trees Foundation convince the jury that, in fact, the money was intended all along for Trees, with no instructions attached for funneling it elsewhere?

In her opening arguments, Miller's attorney, Mitlyng, said the case came down to "fraud and broken promises." "She believed [Trees] would hold [the money] in trust, for the benefit of North Coast Earth First!" said Mitlyng. The defense's attorney, Richard Idell, countered in his opening argument that the donation was an unconditional gift and Miller never wrote letters of instruction — as Miller claims she did. "Ms. Miller ... didn't do anything. She took the check [from her mother's estate] and flipped it over and wrote on the back, 'Payable to the Trees Foundation,'" said Idell.

Miller's claim sought the return of her $185,000, plus interest.

Out in the hallway, Shunka waited to tell his side of the story. Maybe he thought about the magical donation that never materialized, and now probably never would. Maybe he thought about the other times he'd been in this courthouse — dozens of times, along with other activists, often before Judge Wilson, answering to charges of trespassing and other forms of civil disobedience in the woods. Likely, he wondered when they were finally going to call him in to testify — it was taking forever in there. He'd even sent out an e-mail prematurely to the several hundred subscribers to his NCEF! online group erroneously announcing he would be first up to testify.

By the end of Friday's court session, Miller was still on the stand. Perhaps Monday it would be Shunka's turn. Whenever it was, he would be testifying on Miller's behalf; but he wasn't a party to the lawsuit. And in the end, after hearing all of the evidence, the jury would be determining who was telling the truth about intentions and letters of instructions. Shunka was just there to provide context and evidence in a contract dispute.

But to a number of forest activists, including a half dozen or so who appeared in the audience last Friday to watch the trial unfold, that context matters more to them than the legal questions. They say this lawsuit has placed a strain on the environmental community that could do as much damage as an ill-felled redwood that takes down other giants in its descent. They disapprove of the lawsuit, and they blame Shunka for it. And, they say, it's just another example of how Shunka has commandeered the North Coast Earth First! identity and used it for purposes that nobody else in the amorphous but consensus-driven local Earth First! movement has agreed to.

"For a lot of us, when we read about the lawsuit, this is kind of like Shunka on trial," said long-time forest activist Deane Rimerman last Friday, calling from Olympia, Wash. "And, to what extent is he worthy of that money?"

Kathryn Miller wanted her money to go toward saving trees, she said on the witness stand last Thursday. The slender 59-year-old was dressed in a pink print skirt and white sweater, with her gray-streaked dark hair pulled back into a neat, thin braid tinted slightly green. (Little did the jury know that Miller had spent the night in jail, in blue jail duds, and then had been "dressed out," in court lingo, in her street clothes before being escorted into the court by the bailiff. Miller had been arrested the week before, on Sept. 17, when she arrived in civil court for the pre-trial readiness hearing; according to the misdemeanor criminal charges filed against her, Miller allegedly had made annoying phonecalls to Barbara Ristow of the Trees Foundation all hours of the day and night.)

On the stand, Miller described how she became an activist. She remembered how, when she was a child in Orinda, her mother decided to stop spraying the beautiful oak trees on their property after reading Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. "And then, when my son was 9, we were watching the news on TV about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown. And my son said to me, 'I wish I'd never been born. I don't think I'll get to live a full life.'"

She protested the building of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. She started a peace action group in the late 1980s in San Jose. She did nonviolent protests at the Nevada Test Site. And in 1990, she came up with some of her fellow protestors to help set up the camp for Redwood Summer, and to take part in demonstrations. She's been on and off involved in Earth First! actions in Humboldt ever since, she said, including huffing in supplies for treesitters and huffing out their garbage. She'd also, at one point, bought a condo in Arcata.

In 2004, Miller sold her condo and bought an acre of farmland, already planted with coffee, in Guatemala. She put in fruit trees to shade the coffee. That same year, her mother, who lived in Sonoma, died. "The last time I saw her was in 2003," said Miller. "She told me when she died, she was going to leave me some money. I told her I'd use it to further my work for the forest. And she was pleased, because she loved the treesitters and the forest."

Shortly after learning of her mother's death, Kathryn Miller sought out Shunka Wakan in front of the food co-op in Arcata, where he "tabled" to raise funds for the North Coast Earth First! Media office — selling T-shirts, and stickers, offering pamphlets, accepting donations. She'd known Shunka for about five years, she said.

"I said to him, I was going to inherit some money: What was the best way to get that to the North Coast Earth First!?"

In the spring of 2005, Shunka Wakan was floating above the treetops. "I was so excited," the 32-year-old said in an interview a few weeks ago, sitting inside his tiny but colorful North Coast Earth First! Media office in Arcata, walls covered in art and topo maps — including one of Buckeye Mountain, where in 2000-2001, during the "Mattole Free State" action, Shunka and others hiked 14 miles through waist-high snowdrifts to save trees.

Kathryn Miller, he recalled, had come up to him excitedly as he walked along the sidewalk outside the Arcata Co-op and said, "I just donated $185,000 to North Coast Earth First!'"

She'd talked to him the year before about making the donation — she'd said she was anticipating an inheritance from her mother's estate, and she wanted to make a big donation to his group. He'd told her to make it through the Trees Foundation, which handled the NCEF! Media office's finances through an arrangement that had been established years ago. (The Trees Foundation is an umbrella organization formed in 1991 to assist smaller environmental groups. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, it can accept large, tax-deductible donations on behalf of affiliates, and provide professional resources. And it can lead large campaigns, like the one to save the Headwaters Forest back in the '90s.)

Well, now she'd finally done it.

Miller and Shunka agreed to meet at Fiesta Café in Sunny Brae, so she could tell him how she wanted the money spent: She wanted, straight away, for someone to organize a mediated workshop for the local Earth First! activists on ageism and sexism, issues she thought were fracturing the movement. And, she wanted the bulk of the donation to help support the forest activists who blockade logging roads and hunker up in ancient redwoods to fend off loggers' saws.

Not long after, Shunka was on his way to have lunch with some folks from the Trees Foundation, where they'd talk about Miller's wishes.

"Our media outreach was going to get a big boost," Shunka said. "The donation would keep the EF! office going for many years. So I walked into the Wildflower Café feeling elated, thinking we got all this money."

Barbara Ristow and Doug Wallace of the Trees Foundation were there. "I was super excited," Shunka said, "and I said, 'This is great, this big donation. Isn't it wonderful?' We ordered food, and still I'm all excited, talking about the money, but I notice they're looking nervously at each other. [Finally], they said, 'Well, we're just shocked that you think this money was for you.' And I was like, 'I just met with the donor, and that's what she said.' And they're like, 'Well, let's go ahead and plan the workshop and deal with that later.' I remember that, because it put me at ease."

After that, Shunka said he gave Trees a list of people he thought might benefit from the mediator-run workshop. "Some were people I knew had beefs with me, but I was willing to bring 'em into the circle and talk about it."

According to some vague accounts, the workshop was a disaster. One person who was there claims that Shunka, at one point, pounded his fists on the floor, blustered, then got up and stormed out, yelling as he walked away. Shunka says that's overblown.

"The letter from Kathryn Miller to Barbara Bristow said she wanted the mediation to be a safe place, safe to be emotional," he said. "And I think people are saying 'I freaked out.' The freak-out reports are exaggerated. It's just part of this ongoing character assassination. People say I was 'red-faced.' But my face is naturally red."

In late 2005, while Shunka was in Seattle, a friend called him from Arcata to say a woman had come by asking for the office key. She had a list of equipment she wanted to take away. The friend didn't give her the key.

When Shunka got back from Seattle, he discovered his reimbursement funds from Trees had been "frozen." He also learned about a letter someone in the NCEF! movement had circulated for signatures and then sent to Mark Knipper, who handled the Trees Foundation transactions for the NCEF! Media office. It said, in essence, "We don't want Shunka running EF!"

"I called the Trees Foundation," Shunka recalled. "I was sick, it was the middle of the winter, I'm trying to table, it's raining, it's cold. And Barbara Ristow told me, 'You just need to have a meeting [with the other Earth First!ers] and come to a group consensus on what the Trees Foundation funding should be used for."

The meeting never happened — nobody could agree to meet, said Mark Knipper, also in an interview last week. Knipper is a social worker and a long-time activist who had been the contact person between Trees and NCEF! Media. "So it ate itself," Knipper said. "And although I'm former Navy, a mariner, I said I'm not going down with this ship. So I divorced myself from it ... and signed it all back to Trees."

The NCEF! Media office was dropped from the Trees Foundation altogether.

Shunka and the NCEF! Media office never did see any of the big donation. Miller didn't even know that, he said, until she phoned him up in the summer of 2006, more than a year after she made the donation, to ask about a guy named "Jungle," who had been reported as missing on the NCEF! hotline. Miller was spending much of her time in Guatemala now, where she was raising fruit trees; after she'd made her big donation, Hurricane Stan had struck — she spent the ensuing year mopping up the mess.

First, Shunka told her Jungle was still missing. Then he told her about the money.

"I said, 'Yeah, they told me it wasn't for us,'" said Shunka. "And she said, 'I meant for all of it to go to you guys.' She sounded real upset. And I was like, 'I knew it! I knew it!'"

Shunka tried to sue Trees in small claims court, but it went nowhere.

Miller filed a claim against the Trees Foundation on Oct. 5, 2006, in Humboldt County Superior Court, seeking the return of the $185,000 plus interest so she could distribute the money herself.

And if she wins? "She may just spread it out more," said Shunka. "She's got tree planting ideas. Maybe she could buy a grove. She'd maybe not give it all to Earth First! this time. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Trees blew for us."

On an uncomfortably hot afternoon last week, four forest activists who'd agreed to an interview for this story — Jeff, Shaggy, Sparrow and Farmer — sat on the ground at the Arcata Marsh next to a log bench on which a teeming crew of red ants worked a splintered notch. Someone had come along here in 1999 and carved a grouping of faces — bearded, grimacing, possibly mourning faces — onto the log and signed it Daniel. The carving had been drenched in red paint, and burnished by years of sitters.

"It kind of reminds me of the memorial for Gypsy," said one of them. "With the red paint."

Gypsy was the forest name of David Nathan Chain, who in September 1998, during an Earth First! action at Grizzly Creek, was crushed to death by a tree felled by an enraged logger. Farmer, actually, was there — he was just 16, but had a year of activism already under his belt. And Shunka was there — it was Shunka's first forest action.

Farmer, Shag, Sparrow and Jeff first made it clear that they spoke for themselves alone, although they participate in various forest defense affinity groups: Farmer works for the Mattole Wildlands Defense Group now, watchdogging the California Department of Forestry for new timber harvest plans, and keeping an eye on a Pacific Lumber Co. watershed analysis. Shag, who saw his first redwood about five years ago, helps keep the Fern Gully treesit village in Freshwater functioning. Jeff, who grew up in the high desert, and fell in love with the woods, works with the Nanning Creek treesit just outside of Scotia, as well as other groups. Sparrow, who was drawn to forest action because the cultural landscape was "like a folktale" he couldn't resist, is with the Fern Gully affinity group. These groups are all part of the Humboldt Forest Defense Association, a collective with a website but no formal structure.

The HFDA sprang into being six years ago — about the time the entity called North Coast Earth First! had essentially dissolved. It would take a book to describe that drawn-out dissolution — a book of lost causes, won causes, waning media interest, Judi Bari's death, Gypsy's death, ego-spurred squabbles, interpersonal catastrophes, a war overseas, hurricanes. And while the HFDA activists might still cherish the Earth First! name — the movement — in their hearts, it's now been further complicated by what you might call the Shunka effect.

"I still feel in many ways solidarity with the greater Earth First! movement abroad," said Farmer. "But in this county, in this climate, if you say you're with the North Coast Earth First!, many people associate you with North Coast Earth First! Media."

Shunka revived the North Coast Earth First! office around 2002. And he did what previous office managers had done — tabled, put out news releases, wrote articles for other publications. But it wasn't like the old days, in the '90s, when hundreds of people were getting arrested in forest actions and the jail support phone and legal resources were in constant use.

Shunka first worked in an office in Eureka, then later moved to Arcata. He called his outfit the NCEF! Media Center. For a time, he and other "affinity groups" tried to work together. But he alienated some people. He took over the North Coast Earth First! website. He controlled the North Coast Earth First! email list of 300 or more subscribers to the news alerts. He sent out press releases on his own.

"I felt the North Coast Earth First! Media Center was a unilateral effort on Shunka's part," said Farmer. Whereas, in the old days, "spokespeople were decided on by the group. And if you wrote an article it was passed by everyone. I feel Shunka appointed himself spokesperson at some point."

Many also claim they've been subject to a lashing anger from Shunka.

"I won't work with him because I pledge nonviolence in my actions," said Shag. "I don't believe he pledges the same thing. He has exhibited violent behavior towards me and towards other activists in my presence."

"He's a bear," said Jeff, making claw-fists with his hands.

But the sad thing is, all of this infighting probably has done nothing to help the actual trees. And the mediation workshop Kathryn Miller wanted didn't fix matters. Now, there was her lawsuit.

"When I heard about this lawsuit, I thought, the Trees Foundation does not deserve to be attacked in that way," said Farmer. "There's much bigger issues that need to be dealt with — with Maxxam and old-growth logging. ...If you look at Fern Gully and Nanning Creek (the Bonanza timber harvest plan), there's hundreds of old growth acres still standing whose fate is unclear."

Shag put it more bluntly: "If [Miller] knew Shunka and wanted to get the money to North Coast Earth First! Media, she should've given it to Shunka. But if she was trying to get it to treesits and forest defense, then the money went to the right place.

"My problem is this whole representation thing. There's people in the trees — how do you know who to get the money to, to help them?"

Shunka knows that a lot of fellow activists aren't happy with his role in the donation dispute. He also knows how some people talk about him and say he's hard to get along with. "I'm just standing up for the truth," he said. "And people don't like it. To me, it feels like a small clique of people who don't like me. I feel a lot of love and support in this community."

He certainly doesn't come off right away as someone who's angry, or who lashes out, or who locks the office and doesn't let people in. Why, recently, he helped a young woman hook up with the treesitters so she could learn the ropes. (Shaggy said that's proof Shunka doesn't have direct connections with the people doing direct action; but you can't deny it's a connection.)

It's probably a bad idea to ask Darryl Cherney, one of the founders of the local Earth First! movement, what he thinks of Shunka Wakan, whose real name is Jason Wilson. (Shunka tells a story of how he was named by a Lakota medicine man on the banks of the Cheyenne River in South Dakota in 1995. "Shunka Wakan," meaning "great dog," is only part of it. There's a secret part after that — altogether, his name means "the humble man called horse.")

"Shunka's a wingnut," Cherney said over the phone last Friday, sounding cheerfully vitriolic. "I have a 10-verse song about Shunka."

Here are the last few verses:

Who's at the co-op spanging a donation
Shunka, Shunka
Who's got a lawsuit 'gainst the Trees Foundation
Shunka, Shunka
Shunka, Shunka
Who's gonna keep on fighting the fight
Shunka, Shunka
With four of his friends at swimmers delight
Shunka, Shunka
Shunka, Shunka (Shunka voice: It's the last of the revolution)

There's no other word for it but "mean." But Cherney and Shunka have history — not all of it sour. Cherney said Shunka laughed when he heard the song, at least the first time.

"I met Shunka in 1998," Cherney said. "And I know he knew Julia ["Butterfly" Hill, whom Shunka had come west to find]. That was a good thing, helping Julia. That was good Shunka."

Cherney had even pushed for Shunka to go to Houston to talk with Charles Hurwitz, whose Maxxam Corp. bought out the old Pacific Lumber company back in 1985 and quickly became the forest activists' number one villain. Shunka went.

But now? "The current status of Shunka and me," Cherney said, "is that Shunka has sent me five or eight or nine e-mails threatening to sue me. Shunka is a joke."

Cherney can talk for hours about the problems he's had with Shunka over the years. His main point, though, is what has Shunka done for the trees lately?

"My question is, where's your topo maps?" he asked. "Where's your wilderness preservation proposal? Where's your lobbyist team in Sacramento?"

It has to be that, on some level, even the people in the movement who don't like Shunka understand somewhat where he's coming from. So he's emotional. Passionate. Perhaps he's caught up so completely in the cause he can't let go. Or, who knows — maybe he's a phony, like he accused Knipper of being back in 2005.

But being a forest activist comes with perils beyond the obvious physical ones.

"I'm really trying to have compassion for Shunka, even though he's kind of attacked us," said Susy Barsotti by phone from Laytonville a couple of weeks ago. Barsotti is president of the Trees Foundation board, and she says the lawsuit has held Trees hostage, unable to function fully. "I've been mystified and dismayed that he's participated like this in the suit. But Shunka witnessed Gypsy's death. And I think he may have post-traumatic stress syndrome. I don't think he's recovered from it. And that can affect your behavior."

A number of people mentioned this, actually, about Shunka. And he often refers to Gypsy's death himself. In an article titled "What Luna has taught me," posted on the website of Julia "Butterfly" Hill's organization, Circle of Life, Shunka writes: "I decided to commit to doing ground support after witnessing the death of David Nathan "Gypsy" Chain on September 17, 1998 ... I remember looking across the valley as we hiked up that day, seeing the rolling hills of forests and clear-cuts, and thinking out loud, "That's why we're here!" Seeing Gypsy's life taken from him, and then seeing the corruption and lies of the Humboldt County Sheriffs ... really opened my eyes to the situation our old-growth forests face."

Later, he did ground support for Hill in her second year in Luna. And in the same article on her website, something else Shunka writes indicates how ready he was to devote himself to a cause: "Being on the support team was the top priority in my life, and I was happy knowing that everything else revolved around when I'd be needed for the next supply run. I never felt lost because I knew what I was doing. That was a feeling I had not felt in years, between feeling dissatisfaction with life in college, and then more dissatisfaction with life as a minimum-wage worker after college. Before joining Julia's ground support team I was unhappy, even to the point of tears, wondering if my entire life was going to be a minimum-wage nightmare ...."

Pure devotion, without benefit of a little hypocrisy, could drive anyone batty. Deane Rimerman, the activist from Olympia who said it is Shunka who is on trial, said it's not uncommon for intense, stressful movements like Earth First! to produce an army of walking wounded. And he's been around, in forest actions up and down the coast, for long enough to know; he was the one, in fact, who "got the maps and led the first hikers up to the hill" to the Gypsy Mountain campaign and Luna treesit.

"In the forest activist movement, there's very little that's rewarding," Rimerman said. "There's a lot of post traumatic stress syndrome. All of us get it. Once you've been through the court process, and the jail process, and seen 1,000-year-old trees get cut down that you really cared about and thought you could save — it's devastating."

That alone, setting aside the troubles with Shunka, could explain the many rifts that have occurred within the local EF! ranks over the years. Josh Brown, who moved to Humboldt in 1995 right before the peak of the Headwaters campaign, said one of the unique qualities of Earth First! is that it "is primarily a youth movement."

"A lot of people that come through are young, are passionate — and it's a wonderful thing," he said. They get thrown into leadership positions quickly — and then they get burned out. Many move quickly on to other things. Brown stayed in longer than most. "When I left [in 2001], I was 30 years old. And I'd been a full-time activist since I was 18."

Paradoxically, said Brown, the youthful draw and the departure of seasoned activists leaves the movement with "no elders to kind of sit around and coach the [new kids]."

The movement also draws strong personalities, he said. Tenacious ones, too, like Shunka's.

"Shunka, I think he really does have a big heart," said Brown. "And I think he does care for the forest."

Last Friday, following the morning session of Miller v. Trees, a group of the Humboldt Forest Defense Association activists stood on the courthouse steps talking. The door opened, and Shunka walked out and down the steps toward the group. They didn't greet him. After a time, he tried to talk to one of them, Jeff. Jeff walked away. Shunka followed him, then stopped and talked to another guy. Then he stood alone again.

Trees Foundation Wins

October 11th, 2007

The jury in the civil case Kathryn Miller v. the Trees Foundation decided in favor of Trees, after deliberating all day Tuesday. (See "Money on Trees," Oct. 4).

Miller is the long-time forest activist who inherited a bundle from her mother and then signed $185,000 over to the Trees Foundation. In her lawsuit, she claimed she had intended the money to be passed through Trees to one of its affiliates, North Coast Earth First! Media, run by Shunka Wakan. She claimed she had made her intentions clear, verbally and in writing, and that Trees had agreed to the conditions, then broken its promise and kept the money. Trees denied making such promises, and said it had never seen any letters or heard of instructions to give the money to NCEF! Media. (Also, somewhat relatedly, in criminal court on Tuesday Miller pleaded no contest to charges that she had made annoying phonecalls to Barbara Ristow of the Trees Foundation.)

So, that's that. Now, there are only the pieces to pick up.

For Shunka Wakan — featured in last week's Journal as a central figure in a messy nest of infighting that has fractured the current ranks of local Earth First!ians — it could be a long, lonely patching together of lost friends and broken alliances. Not only did he and Miller lose their attempt to retrieve her donation, but now he's been banned from the North Coast Co-op.

Yes, that happened last week. It was Thursday, around 4:15 in the evening, and two activists with the Humboldt Forest Defense Association were tabling — hawking brochures and such — outside the Co-op. It's an activity Shunka himself has spent many a day doing in that very same spot, raising cash to pay for his NCEF!Media outreach work and other causes. And, well, these two fellows, Jeff and Farmer, were on Shunka's shit list, now. They'd spoken gently, but unfavorably, about Shunka's doings in the North Coast Earth First! arena — said he lashed out at people, said he commandeered NCEF! resources, and so forth. Here's a snippet of Jeff's account of what happened, which he sent to the NCJ in an e-mail on Friday:

"Shunka was removed from the Arcata Co-op yesterday after a scuffle with myself and another activist around 5 p.m. Well, he wasn't exactly removed, but APD was called. He was asked to leave after threatening to flip over the HFD donation table while stating he was 'like Jesus in the marketplace ...'"

Sue Coulter, manager of the Arcata Co-op, recounted on Friday how an employee walking by heard the argument and went inside to get her. "So I went out to talk to [Shunka], because it's not the first time we've had problems," she said. "Most of the time, he's fine. Most of the time, I stick up for him." One time, she said, she even called the police to protect Shunka after someone had threatened him. "But he gets into arguments. I tried to talk to him. I told him to leave. ... He was causing a scene, right by the door, and I can't have it. He refused to leave. ... I said, fine. I went into the store. He followed me into the store, and he was still yelling at me, 'Oh, now you're going to call the police on me.'" Coulter called the police, but Shunka left before they arrived.

Shunka, waiting in the courthouse for the jury verdict Tuesday, said Coulter did indeed ask him to leave and he did, indeed, refuse to. As for the HFD tablers, he said he merely asked them why they had Trees Foundation literature on their table. "I said, 'Why do you want to represent these people?'" And then, he said, "Jeff accused me of embezzling — he said this in public. He said, 'You've embezzled thousands of dollars from the Earth First! movement through the years.' And I complained to one of the employees who was walking by. Because that's serious, accusing someone of embezzling."

But Shunka said the whole thing's yet another attack on him. "I don't consider I was yelling. We were talking. I'm an emotional person, I concede to that. I speak from my heart. I don't scream at people. I would love to — but I don't."

In his email, Jeff with HFD predicted Shunka would leave town within weeks, if not sooner. But at the courthouse, even before the verdict, Shunka said he wasn't going anywhere.

"I'm just going to continue to run the Earth First! office and continue to call Humboldt County home," he said. He's also going to write a letter to the Co-op, complaining about how he gets scapegoated and booted out of there even when other people, he says, are the culprits. And, as for the Miller v. Trees case, he said, he and Miller may now take their complaint to another venue.

CineKink: PDX - Kinky Film Festival

2007-10-19T05:24:21Z

CineKink Brings Festival of Kinky Films to Portland
November 1-3, 2007

CineKink: PDX makes its brazen appearance November 1-3, 2007, featuring a three-night run of films and videos that explore and celebrate a wide diversity of sexuality.

A touring version of "the really alternative film festival" held annually in New York, the event will be presented by CineKink, an organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television. Works presented at CineKink: PDX will range from documentary to drama, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between.

Among the CineKink: PDX headliners, first up, on Thursday, November 1 at 7 PM, is "Vice and Consent," a documentary visit with such prominent, long-standing members of the BDSM community as Midori, Jay Wiseman and Cleo Dubois. Then, at 9 PM, "Webcam Girls" is a funny and engaging visit with four outspoken pioneers of the girlcam frontier.

On Friday, November 2 at 7:00 PM, it's "Power Plays," short works that probe, prod and play with the dynamics of sexual power and fantasy, followed at 9:00 PM by "Passion Plays," a collection of erotic, sometimes explicit pieces that dance along the supposed boundary of art, including the banned-in-Australia documentary, "Damon and Hunter." Rounding out the evening will be an 11:00 PM screening of "Pornology New York," a paean to the New York sexual underground, circa 1970-85, that brings together four of its most colorful protagonists.

On Saturday, November 3, at 7:00 PM, the drama "Going Under" traces the relationship of a married psychotherapist and a professional dominatrix he's been frequenting. And the festival wraps everything up at a 9:00 PM with a screening of the "Best of CineKink," a program of award-winning shorts deemed the best of the festival's most recent NYC appearance.

November 1 - 7 pm/Vice & Consent (w/The Line Between)
November 1 - 9 pm/Webcam Girls (w/Dick Ho: Asian Male Pornstar)
November 2 - 7 pm/Power Plays
November 2 - 9 pm/Passion Plays
November 2 - 11 pm/Pornology New York
November 3 - 7 pm/Going Under
November 3 - 9 pm/The Best of CineKink

Taking place at the Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton Street), tickets are $6, door only. A limited number of discounted festival passes are available online for $30.

CineKink's co-founder and director, Lisa Vandever, a former Portlander, will be in attendance during the festival.

Tattoo-a-thon for a great cause...

2007-10-16T19:44:52Z

Hi All,

I'm helping to organize a benefit for an organization I work with called Ethos Music Center. This Sunday (October 21st) from 10-5, we are having a tattoo-a-thon at Infinity Tattoo. They are located at 3316 N. Lombard in Portland and do really good work. All of the money that they bring in on Sunday goes directly to Ethos' music outreach programs. I used to teach these classes, and I know firsthand that they can have a real impact on the lives of kids who could never afford music lessons otherwise.

If you're thinking about getting a tattoo or are just curious, come on out and show your support. Ethos' kids rock band, The Bang, will be performing at 1PM. Scion will be giving out free Scion crap, and snacks will be provided by the Wonder cafe. Should be fun...

-Mark

p.s. Feel free to repost this.
p.p.s If you haven't heard, Matthew Dear (live set with a bassist and drummer) is at Holocene this Friday!!!!!!!!!

QOOL HAPPY HOUR Wedsenday's@TRUST (9th & everett)

2007-07-14T07:47:30Z

Portland Meet Qoöl

A new kind of clubbing invented weekly... by you.
Wednesdays, 5pm to 10pm at Trust 903 NW Everett Street (@ 9th Avenue) Portland
No Cover, Drink Specials, Happy Hour Menu,....& you.

This week's lineup:
6:00pm - 6:45pm - EsncE (Qool, Leschi Lounge, PDX)

6:45pm - 7:30pm - Tim Blade (Qool, Bound Records, PDX)

7:30pm - 8:15pm - Evan Alexander (Qool, PRAradio, 365mag, PDX)

8:15pm - 9:00pm - Zachary Ztowasser (Stillwater Records, Las Vegas)

9:00pm - 10:00pm - Chris Firenze (Akashik Records, PDX)

Some history:

Qoöl originally began in San Francisco as function over form – in the early 90’s well know progressive DJ Spesh had bailed out of a high profile residency due to his refusal to play cheesy records (it was during this time that Jondi & Spesh produced their first tracks together), but soon missed the frequent djing. But with a full time job and now production work on top of it, the time just wasn’t there. The solution? Play records once a week right after work at a nearby art gallery. With only 6 people on average milling about the space, Spesh was definitely in it just to hear the music with his own ears (it is worth noting that at this point, Jondi was questioning Spesh’s sanity). For months, Spesh showed up each week with his records, sometimes joined by other djs, and slowly the audience grew.

Nowadays, what began simply as a place for Spesh to spin tracks every week on his own terms became a place for hundreds of people to be clubbers on their own terms. The patrons of Qoöl, known as Qoölios, know what they want and religiously show up week after week to get it.

Qoöl’s most distinguishing characteristic is its vibe, a downright great feeling that comes from a gathering of people are there because it's Qoöl, not because it's "the place to be". In San Francisco that vibe grown so that each night ends in a contained fury of waving arms and ecstatic dancing every week. This energy has been compared more than once to some of history’s most revered club nights. Most recently Jonathan Lisle of Bedrock had this to say of his encounter with Qoöl, “We walked in at 7pm on a Wednesday night and I had the same feeling I had when I walked into the Hacienda in Manchester 12 years ago and when I walked in Renaissance in Mansfield in 1992. The place was electric.”

Now the Qoöl story continues in Portland where it will thrive... because Qoöl is you.

Need Firedancers This Saturday

2007-05-15T23:07:47Z

This Saturday I need 2-4 people (that aren't tied to being at the Friendly Fire event all night) to come to a house party in Portland (eastside) and do some low-key firedancing (sometime between 10-midnight.) This is a great opportunity if you are just starting to get out there and perform. Potentially someone could come hang out and perform for a bit and then go. We have live music and a dj they can coordinate with too. If interested, send me a message with your name and contact info. Thanks

dance performance by Mizu Desierto
raw chocolate alchemy by Lulu's Coco
environments by Starbird Designs

And I hate it when people use this as a marketing strategy, so know that it's more a friendly warning than some sort of false buzz generator - Someday Lounge has a capacity of 250 people. There are many more than 250 of you who know what a sick lineup this is and what an amazing event its gonna be. It's gonna be hard to turn friends and family away at the door - don't make us do that! Get yer tickets early and worry about what you'll wear rather than whether you'll get in or not.

Tuesdays: We make art and watch movies...

2007-04-09T19:27:38Z

All these other events are so high-energy, high-cost that sometimes it is nice to chill out, make something crafty, and watch films.

Every Tuesday, at Watershed... we'll be BBQing as well!

PUBLIC HEARING FOR HORNINGS: MARCH 22nd @ 10:00

2007-03-10T06:44:19Z

If you've ever been to one of these epic festivals in the beautiful place known as Horning's Hideout, 30 minutes west of Portland, you might be interested in this.

---------------------------

Hi everybody, Bob Horning here.

Well the date has finally arrived for our land use hearing for permanent concert venue status. With talking to the county they are so far going to recommend approval to the hearings officer. The date for all of this is March 22nd at 10 AM. It will be held in the auditorium at the Washington County Building located at 155 N 1st Ave in Hillsboro Oregon. The reason I'm sending out this email is to see if we can get some people there as a show of support. Please remember that if you come that this is a hearing with a land use judge, so we all have to be respectful of him and the process. If we can have a good, respectful show of support it should help the judge show that this is a good thing for the community. For those who would like to comment there will be a chance for public comment, or just submit written testimony, again if you wish. A nice show of support is the main thing. Once the hearing is over they will make their final decision a few weeks afterwards. I appreciate all the support we've received here and hopeful if this all goes well we'll be up and running back to normal again very soon.

Thanks!
Bob Horning

Location - 5040 SE Milwaukie, Watershed (http://tribes.tribe.net/watershedpdx)
Dates - Thursday 6pm - Late

Extra perks, you say?

2) J-Squared is 3/2, Aphelion is 3/3...
3) Work for us now, and you will be prettier, happier, and a better person!
