Lots of logistics happening and I will need to make this a short, maybe even criminally lazy, image-heavy post. Please forgive.

I have news to share. I will share it soon. I get distracted. For instance:

If I've learned anything about the internet it's that cats get clicks. There's a map on a brick wall in the neighborhood and a gray cat who serves as the map's guardian. He waits in that spot, knows when people are stopping to look at or take a photo of it, and grazes up on your legs to receive pets. This is the toll for viewing the map. In some mythologies he built the wall and the map painted on it. He is an ancient Quebecois deity and if you don't show him attention it's going in your file.

The Mixbus is a schoolbus where DJs spin records. This just happens at random in a public park next to a school. I don't know how mobile the bus is but it wasn't there two days ago. The scene around the Mixbus is popping. Complex polyrhythmic beats all over the place. Dancing, laughing, smoking and vaping stuff. Everyone enjoys it. I keep hearing from locals that they experience culture glut here in the summer. It's hard to decide what to do with yourself with so much going on. I'm okay with having that problem.
