Ground Control to Major Kim

Posted on 06.28.15 under art space paris, françois avril, Ground Control, Junko Wong, Kim Gérard, Kim Rosselier, Paris

Ground Control is an art space/multiple bar and brasserie/event space/playground that exists for one year at a specific location.

An unused government property, in this case an old railway station, is taken over for a limited amounted of time and transformed into a cultural destination.

Kim Rosselier (ne Kim Gérard) has an exhibition there until next week.

He visited us in Tokyo with Victoire, an old family friend who’s father, François Avril, is an artist of CWC.

Isaac checked out all the nooks and crannies.

We got one of Kim’s t-shirts.

It’s a fun space. Great for sunbathing!

Gay Paris…

Posted on 06.23.15 under Paris

We are here for a BlytheCon and staying near Sacre Coeur in Paris…

Here’s the view from the window.

Victoire was kind enough to let us stay in her and Julian’s place!

There are warnings for pickpockets everywhere…

Pigalle…

Lots of nice textures, everywhere.

This painting looks so real because raindrops are painted on the window of the view.

Opera

More Opera. Good place to change your money, too.

More Opera.

The cat that lives in the building. Seems like an old soul.

First step at “Happy Writers”

Posted on 06.17.15 under screenwriting, Stage 32, The TransMutant

Every journey starts with a first step. THE TRANSMUTANT has taken that first tentative step by making the quarter finals of a screenplay contest: Annual Stage 32 Happy Writers Feature Contest.

At least two or three steps need to be taken before anyone gets too excited…

THE TRANSMUTANT

In 2075, a jaded war correspondent infiltrates a hit team carrying the head of a charismatic spiritual leader to a lab for re-animation. If he can outfox the hit team and save the leader from being turned into the Anti-Christ, it could mean peace on earth.

Anekona takes it’s next step forward

While it may seem odd to have an small commerical aquaponics facility on a site devoted to a story set in a desert, that’s just the way it is. In fact, aquaponics might be one possible solution for the water shortage in the deserts of the American Southwest. It uses less than 10% of the water that traditional dirt farming requires. The water is pumped back into the fish tanks after running through the troughs growing the vegetables.

The infrastructure for Anekona Aquaponics was constructed based mostly on plans drawn by Tim Mann at Friendly Aquaponics in Honakaa, Big Island. Walter and Bryson Wildco Construction built these structures

Larry Yonashiro of Aquaponics No Ka Oi in Kahului, Maui, my mentor, also learned at Friendly, so we are part of the Friendly Tree.

Ron Ganga is now the managing partner for Anekona and are going to take this to the next level.

Ron has an Associates degree from Maui College and wrote his thesis on aquaponics. Exciting times!
