- I'm about a month away from finishing the rough draft of this book, maybe less. Its crazier than the rave book in some ways, or maybe an equal level of crazy, but a different kind of crazy

- In chapter 16 of my book, the club starts to blow up with sold out shows every weekend, but all of this excitement attracts attention from the cops. How much do they know about what goes on at the party? Do they know about how the club is realllly making money? Have they already been in there undercover? Also, I meet one of my heroes and he's kind of a creep.

- Hey, I'm Dubdelay. I enjoy spending free time making 90s rave inspired music (of all sorts). Some chill and minimal, and some hectic and head melting.
This one is called Golden Tyger.

- Soon selling items, even cars, would be possible thanks to open actions and frames 💫
- If a collection sells out, can the “Sold Out” button turn into a “Make Offer” button on secondary?
- Sands of Existence
- I went and saw my homies performance tonight and was so proud of him. I was his agent 10+ years ago when he was a happy hardcore DJ called Starkiss, now he's a goth emo rapper called Ssikrats. I am going to try to talk him into joining Lens. This is one of his music videos.

- This is one of my favorite chapters in the book.
This was when I discovered that the owner of the club was selling pills at my shows, and I told him I wanted in. That was the same night that cops showed up and parked in the lot for the first time, while we were open after legal closing time. I got onstage and told the crowd FTP, we're staying open lol (side note, as you can see from the photos, the first stars we got were pink, not purple, but purple sounded better for the title. Eventually we had a bunch of colors.)

- Last year I made a deck of Tarot cards with AI. I don't push it much because it was just for fun. You can still grab a deck (or NFT) if you want. But you can view the artwork for all of the cards at this link

- My Gitcoin Passport score increased by like 15 when they changed the metrics, but now they are talking about not using it for the zks airdrop after a bunch of people complained about the new metrics on twitter cuz it said they were bots. lol.

I'm refining that psychedelic style and concept I was playing with last night. Which one do you like more?

- Writing and creating art can be so hard sometime, especially when it's a really personal piece of work. This is the "resistance" that is talked about in that old book "The War of Art."
Just gotta make yourself do it, even if you have to start with imperfect versions of it, just to get the wheels rollin

- I had a good opportunity to shill Lens at NFT NYC this year. The topic came up a few times, but I only got video of this part, since the whole thing was not recorded
- The following is Chapter 13 of my memoir, "Paper Squares and Purple Stars: My Life as a Rave Outlaw." I'm sharing the book on t2 for free! In this chapter, my newly formed company has our first series of shows.

- The rough draft of my next book is at about 50k words, which is about half done. This will be the sequel to PSPS, the book I've been sharing on here. PSPS was 110k. This one will probably be a bit shorter.
This covers my transition from the music scene into activism, my early introduction to the crypto industry, my public battle with cancer and my observations of how many online communities changed in the past decade.
- This is a short deepfake video I made of a drug deal between the pope and George Bush.
I was going to mint this as a 1/1 but I decided to go for a collection of 10 so more people could collect. This will be a bit higher than my daily art pieces since it is more intricate and took more time.
10/10 collection at 1000 $BONSAI and 10% for mirrors.
- Keanu Reeves compared the passage of time to the wheel in an on video reel “When you’re young you have a big old reel of that tape left, right? And so it appears to revolve slowly. Then, time passes, and there’s less and less tape left on the reel. It spins faster. It spins faster.” He said, “I’ve wanted to get as much done as I can before that turning tape runs out,” and that captures my anxiety about aging better than anything I've ever been able to articulate.
- Has anyone else been having trouble posting on T2 the past few days?
- I think my book is definitely movie material. I think it has more maturity and substance that all of the rave movies I have seen. I usually don't speak about things with such confidence but the competition is not fierce. Just gotta figure out how to make it happen.
- I saw Heilung the other night in DC. Crazy show!
- CH 12 - A New Journey (Spring - Summer 2008)
After the intensity of the past few trips to New York, I decided to avoid partying for the next week, so I could get some work done on my first...

- It's boring af where I live, but kinda cool hearing a bunch of wild turkeys gobbling in the woods when I go out to walk the dog in the morning
- I work for a gaming and metaverse interoperability project called @lens/somnia and we launched our betanet today. Over 10k avatars have already been minted! I will post more about it on the Somnia Lens page today, but I will share the Galxe link for now, that will take you where you need to go.
You know what Galxe campaign means...It will be a good idea to mint the avatar if you know what I'm sayin.😉

- Feels. I resonated with this out of of a ton because I wear glasses and feel geometric. This might be the digital me.
