Our Time at Berkeley

Allow us to explain.  There are "tree-sitters" living in the Oaks at Cal to protest the building of a new gym complex, therefore needing to remove the ancient Oaks and build on a fault line. We happened to show up during one of the many protests that have occurred outside of the Oak area.  It was entirely fenced in by not two, but three gates, and patrolled by the UC Berkeley Campus police.  People of all ages and backgrounds were in attendance, calling the issue and human rights issue.  The video also includes the sending of supplies (water, fruits, a guitar) via a pulley system into the trees for the half dozen or so people living in them.  They have called the Oaks home for 14 months now.  You can check out more info on Youtube and via online news articles if interested.

Getting it done in D.C.

so after almost every screening we had for our first week in dc decided to fall through, from high schools to concerts, we found we had a lot of free time on our hands. we decided to "get er done" and start bringing the movement back to the ground. behold, guerilla screenings and tactics at their finest.

that last scene is a shot of the forest fire we literally drove through in roanoake va. in. sane.

love and miss you all!

hello loves,

so we are finally on our way to chicago. currently stopping to pay a toll ... check.

team gL started off by making our way to las vegas on night one. after a grand and unexpected reunion with the staff at in'n'out after the launch, we set out and soon arrived on the strip in las vegas. overwhelmed by all the lights and outright absurdity of the city, we stayed the night with cool contact number one: charles. he treated us to 'across the universe', beds, good conversation, and free breakfast. he's amazing.

day two consisted of us driving through utah and colorado, meeting up with the bolitho boys, amy collins, brice crozier, and the entire bolitho family. this was the beginning of many firsts for the team: multiple feet of snow, incredibly cold weather, getting the van stuck ... all good stuff. all in all, we had a late night, but laced with good conversation and many laughs. we took off the next morning very full with delicious food. we made our way across the rocky mountains, where the three native californians nearly froze to death. interestingly enough, colorado was probably a good twenty degrees warmer than it is here right now (currently a sweltering -2 degrees with a wind chill of -24). we tried to find some fun in and after denver, searching down buffalo bill's grave and a herd of bison, the latter of which was impossible to find, even after directions from a local natural enthusiast.


and then came nebraska ... while rumoured to be more intersting than kansas, nebraska provided no entertainment whatsoever. it is entirely possible that we could have driven that state with our eyes closed. we rejoiced with the arrival of iowa, which unexpectedly provided roads that were relatively curvy. unlike nebraska. which is as flat and straight as ... well, the flattest and straightest thing you could imagine. after a loud chorus of beatles songs, we finally made it to kristin's house in iowa where we spent the night. we left today with enough good (chocolately) food to keep us full for the next week or so.


so that brings us here. we are currently on our way to chicago, watching stand up comedy on youtube while scraping the ice off the inside of our windows. tonight we will be staying the night with a friend who lives just blocks from our first screening in the morning, in a juvenile detention center. we are excited to get started on tour and bring this to the great lakes region. we are sure we will have many more stories to send your way soon.


and now, we would like to present another video documentation from great lakes. oh, utah. please enjoy.

love and miss you all,
gL.

p.s.
please observe the following. this is a striking similarity that the team has slowly been coming to recognize over the past few days. sometimes the resemblance can be slightly overwhelming ...

marcus' stygian abyss

whilst i've been stuck at home with all of my friends gone, i've been overtaken by a great sadness while waiting for them to post photos and stories of their new lives on the road....

i have, however, rediscovered my love for photobooth...

please tell me whats going on out there!!!

xo

surprise!

so here we all are, making our way across the country. some of us are lonlier than others. but great lakes got a surprise visit from mid-atlantic while stopping off in vegas ... enjoy.

we love you all. miss you all.
great lakes team.

seth's new life

since the departure of the roadies, seth has made his "wildest dreams come true" by taking a shower that lasted longer than 8 minutes (32 minutes to be exact).

I would like to thank all of you who made this momentous occasion possible. Thanks to the East San Deigo County Water Authority for providing the liquidy goodness. Thank you to the hot water heater for keeping the water hot enough to breach the nozzle and actually hit my head. Thank you to my body for being soiled enough to spur me on to actually take a shower. There are so many others that I know I'm forgetting. [pause] Forgive me, I know I'll remember as soon as I leave. [longer pause] Oh, well... This has really truly been a great experience. Thank you!
-seth williams

after seth's speech he proceeded to roll around in the dirt while shouting "Bring it on!! Bring it on, baby!!! Your a** is mine, B*tch! $*@#^!!!"

i had a interview via telephone with a shocked john shults:

He did what??? Rolled around in the what?? Seth hardly even left the house before! He always said he was afraid of getting dirty because he never knew when he'd ever get the opportunity to get clean... Wow... That's fricken' nuts...
-John Shults

i was also able to condunct a video interview with kenny laubbacher.
