… And since it is in fact a lovely message… I am sharing it with you.

If I owned this unique j-rock designs piece, well, I’d be ever so sorely tempted to bust it open…

This trailer looks pretty damn fine, I must say! It’ll be out pretty soon and I hope I get to see it someday. That this film will be good is a given as it is directed by Dennis Peters, a rather successful old film school classmate of mine …

You probably know that I dig Eric Johnson as well. The kid’s a genius. No doubtin’ that. It should come as no surprise then that I am thrilled to find out that not only does el guitarrista Señor Mauro Henrique P. de Samuel Marques Pavanelli think so too, but, more importantly, that he can actually play Johnson’s songs… and play them really well!

As readers might deduce from perusing these pages, I have long been a fan of the legendary artist R. Crumb. His visions have had a lasting influence upon what makes me who and what I am.

This effort is a fantabulous and an altogether proper thing to do. Being as readers are aware a full on Mars nut and an adherent to Mac’s theory, I can’t think of a better guy for an honor like this. Through Mac so many people were exposed to and enlightened by what IMHO is quite likely the way things really went down here in this quadrant so very, very long ago. And that is a wonderful gift to the world.

I’m trying to get word out to friends and fans of Jim Moseley that Mack White and I will be having the Supreme Commander on as our guest Sunday, May 23rd from 7-9pm CST.

The world has lost a true visionary and a real gentleman.

There are two wonderful and beautiful threads that remember and eulogize Justin… at ATS, his home on the web, ATS Member and Friend jkrog08, page 1, and at SHTF411, too… Jkrog08 RIP Brother.

This Saturday, February 6, tune in to Eye to the Sky radio with hostess Dee Andrew, and moi, (LOWFI founder Skylaire Alfvegren), master of disaster, as we discuss a number of subjects, including the Fortean mindset, my recent adventures in synchronicity, and undoubtedly, unexplained things in the sky.

“After six years of sweat, tears, and plaster foot casts, Loren Coleman has found a permanent home for his Cryptozoology Museum in downtown Portland, Maine!” – Skylaire Alfvegren [...]

The above quote from John Keel’s Operation Trojan Horse continues briefly on and serves as a lead-in to a timely and astute piece from my best friend Skylaire over at L.O.W.F.I, the League of Western Fortean Intermediatists, pesenting some insider history, an assessment of the state of ufology, both past and present; and comes replete with a tie-in to the oft neglected but most important realm of Fortean thought and finishes up with a positive game plan for ufology’s future, which, I’m happy to report seems to be taking shape.

It’s a great read… so, seriously, go for it!

[...] I met John Keel at a FortFest way back when. He had long been a major influence on me through his wonderful books, books that caused controversy in Forteana due to the fact that Keel was a thinker, a true visionary, a man who had a strong grasp on the world and used that common sense in concert with his remarkable intellect to posit solutions that only other thinkers could wrap their minds around. [...]

[...] recognizing that Marsh was the one who had organized the Chapter’s Vermont Tours in the past, this is where it got really spooky, because in a matter of seconds after mentioning this story to Sheila, we passed Wilson Lane. [...]

[...] Poor Teddy.

If he’d been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.

[...] I have always had reservations about grey aliens. Indeed, I have always found them a little too trite to be true. Okay, the egg-headed, abducting, little bastards are all over t-shirts, fridge magnets and The History Channel, but, for me, that doesn’t make them any more convincing. [...]

In a wonderful bit of news that’s cheered me up no end, my best pal Skylaire Alfvegren is now the Los Angeles correspondent for UFO Examiner. Look for a new post every few days. Click here for Skylaire’s first report. It’s sure to please your head…
